My ex and I are good friends. Is anyone else friends with theirs?

"I think we should just be friends."--Thats how we broke up. Some people I know despise their ex so I was just wondering.

we said we would be friends but now since we dont go to the same school anymore we haevnt talked to eachother in like..2 years. not like we're not friends anymore, we just, dont talk.

Well good for you if you could be friends with your ex. Me and my ex said we would...and we only talked like twice after we broke up. We just..don't talk. I personally finds it to be hard to be friends w/ an ex...emotions get in the way sometimes.

Eh, I think he wanted to be friends, but he ignores me now... I kinda do want to be friends with him again though.

Nah, when I say "we should still be friends" I mean it. I'm friends with my exs and I try to keep them close. Believe it or not, exs are great friends.

My ex & I are like best friends but sometimes how I feel for him gets in the wayy. People shouldn't hate their ex's...well that's what I think anyways.

ive tried being friends with my exes but it never works out.

No wayy. Heh. wink.gif

It depends on the relationship I had with them. There are only like 3 ex's of mine that I dont like and I have one ex whom i'd rather never see again in life. Other than that I usually stay on really good terms with mine.

I've never had an ex, but most of my friends are not getting along too well with their exs, mostly because they're just uncomfortable.

my other ex and d0nt like each other at all. but we are in like 3 classes together+our parents are friends. that sux.

im not friends with any of my exes...i guess all of my past relationships ended on a bad note. it's not that i dislike them, i just don't see them or talk to them anymore. i love my current boyfriend and i have no reason to have any contact with them.
_sarcastic_
it's not that i hate him or anything, it's just that he'd email me everytime he has a date, and tries and rub it in my face
fathomlessdame
i dont have any exes to speak of... but with everyone i know who do they dont get along at all...
Jorge
We say we will, but we don't.
pinayprincess
yes & no... i have two exes and one of them [being in my grade], me & him are close, while the other [in a diff grade] arent. he did me wrong and i prefer not talking to him even i cant fight it!

There's a great quote that says.. "If you're friends with your ex, it means you either never loved them, or you still do."

Personally, I'm friends with some of my ex's.. but not all. I've lost touch with most of them since I moved.

I'm still good friends with my exs but we don't talk anymore. It's just how it is emotions do get int the way. There's only one that i talk alot with.

Best friends. =)


Ditto.

And I'm still friends with all my other X's biggrin.gif

i've attempted to be friends with mine. but...we both have a tendency to get into our old habits. and...it always starts the same cycle again. "i love you", "i love you too", "let's be together", "okay!"....and so on and so forth. each and every time, he breaks my heart. so...this time, i'm hoping i can stay away from talking to him. for both of our sakes. he's incapable of being honest, and i'm incapable of turning down an "i love you so much".

since, you know, the third time's the charm. even though..i have no idea how that pertains to us. i keep telling myself that i won't let it happen a fourth time.
jooleeah
Yes. But we're not ever going to be as close as we were before. Never.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how I feel about that. While I am best friends with one my ex's, I definently loved him, but don't anymore. Yet, with the newest ex, we are trying to be friends and what not...IDK. Eep. I confused myself.
Looow
We're best friends now just like how we used to.
MzShortieAlli
I'm still friends with my recent ex and we're still close yet it's hard on me since im still crazy about him and he knows about it too but he sometimes give me mixed signals. So it kid of sucks. pinch.gif
-sincerely
Update? We're friends, so yeah.
lilnatcat
He just said he wanted to break up and went silent and just looked at me.

Infact, I had to ask him for the reason too. Me and my ex broke up coz he said when Uni starts he doesn't have time.

I still wanted to be friends with him....... I had to be the one to ask.... he did agree... but he ignores me nowadays..... his brother ignores me too....

Well..... I guess he doesn't want to be friends like how we used be back in High School...
funkayyfreshhh
yes. very [: one of my ex`s though ... always muggin` me , i jus wanna be friends w/ him .. c`mon. he even got me some jordans & lik the week after i dumped him. imagine how guilty i felt .. then my other ex is like my best friend now [:
shannonx1
not really...
my first ex, not at all. he said we would be friends but i don't even see him or anything anymore.
and my second ex... eh sometimes we'll say hi but that's it.
typh-a-knee
A couple.
Not my recent ones though.

1- because we had a really really bad break up. And whenever we're around each other, it just stirs up an argument, and it's pointless.

2-because I still have feelings for him and he cheated on me, and everytime I see him I feel like crap and cry hysterically like a stupid little kid afterwards.
Rachel
^Hey, I basically am having the same problems! Definently #1, but more like we start fights in private. #2 because of the little feelings I have, him bragging about sleeping with a trashy girl makes me cry.
priyas
typh-a-knee and Rachel is love.
Hope you both work things out with your exes. flowers.gif
typh-a-knee
Eh.
I highly doubt it.

3 months after we broke up, he called me telling me he misses me and such. And told me he broke things off with her, and I was so quick to get my hopes up only to find out, not only is she with him but they're engaged.
priyas
^^O. Thats a serious ouch. I hate cheaters. All they care about is themself.
xCrys
I'm friends with mine, he figured he felt more of a brotherly bond with me than anything else, I'll always care about him, but I'm happy with my current relationship. Plus, the thing about being friends is the, no jealousy policy xD
Ambuletz
I've only had one boyfriend thus far, and I'm dating him currently, so I have no ex's to be friends with.

BUT..when we were broken up, we didn't talk very much at all. Things were too awkward.
Rachel
We are not on speaking terms now. He has changed and I can't have in my life right now. I have been crying for too long.
Trumpetman4eva
my ex is my best friend
This Confession
yea im still friends with them
i just don't talk to them as much
TwistMe
Yup, I try really hard to keep my ex's as friends. It's really imortant to me.
me1issaaaa
I agree with Rachel, yet again.

We were on a break for about two months. In the first month, all I wanted to do was get back together with him, all I ever did was cry. In the second month, however, I grew a backbone and finally understood that I could do better. Ironically, this is when he saw how good he had it before, so he came crawling back, but I was over it. Last week, I finally got the nerve to tell him that I didn't think we'd ever date again. He took it pretty hard, but that was his own fault. So I guess he's pretty upset with me right now, but I'm over it. We aren't talking as of right now.
BryMonster
I'm friends with some of my ex's.
The other ones are really immature and
say that I never really liked them. But
that's far from true.
me1issaaaa
Update.

Nope. He found out about the new boyface, and now I don't think he would ever speak to me again. I feel bad, but what am I supposed to do? We've been broken up for months. I'm not going to spend my time sulking. I hope we will be friends one day.

God we are basically like the same!! Except he hasn't come to his senses yet and see what he lost. mellow.gif


I don't really want him in my life but he insists on being friends....
Chii
I'm only slightly friends with one of my ex's. I cut the rest out of my life. There has been too much drama and crap between us that I never even want to look or picture them again. I can't be friends with someone who is a ridiculous liar and a gossip, an actual psychopath, or is a ridiculous liar AND two-faced. I tried to be friends with one of them out of pity, it didn't work out it just made sh*t worse, he was disgustingly clingy and jealous.

I'm good friends with a bunch of my ex boyfriends. One of my ex boyfriends is even my bestfriend. I still love him like a boyfriend though...sweating.gif

No, for the first, and yes for the second. But like other people mentioned, I don't think we'll ever be as close as we were before. Sucks, but hell, that's life. :D
SarahxJoy
I'm friends with all of my exes (there aren't many).
But I don't keep in touch with any of them anymore 'cause they're all in California.
