In general how are your relations with your Xs?

Do you stay friends with them or there is no reason to keep in touch?

I've noticed there are people who never talk with the person they were with when the relationship is over & some stay friends. Where with others it depends on HOW & WHY it ended.

Which type are you?

A. Stay friends
B. No reason to stay in touch
C. Depends on how it ended

Well,since there is nothing between us i think there shouldn't be anything that makes us stay in touch.

C. Depends on how and why.

If it ends in a civil manner, then I don't see why not.

if it ends badly then i wouldnt be surprised if they dont keep in touch.

if it ended in a civil way... maybe remain friends, unless there were other reasons to speak against that. but personally speaking unless they were working together or they had to interact sometimes for any reason, i dont think staying in touch is necessary.

Why would anyone want to stay friends with his/her ex? :os I find it hard to adjust to the fact that some people can actually stay friends with their ex's. :mmhmm:

2 Adults & just like what Thalia said, it ended in a civil manner; they would more likely stay friends.

Why acting like it never happened?

Once they take that step forward, its hard to get to what was before.

I always think it is odd for couples to remain friends after breaking their relationship. I know some people can manage it well, some don't and get into a trap of getting back together and making the same mistake again. If the relationship was ended civilly, I guess they can remain friends but I don't think they can be good friends.

friends can be lover, but lovers cannot be frineds..

but off course there r exceptions..

Well, I don’t understand why one would want to stay friends with his ex after the break up? The only reason I can think of is: you are hoping to rekindle your relationship but then that sound so pathetic.

And I will have to agree with Manchester , even if the relationship was ended in civil way, I don’t think they can be good friends, as I don’t believe in friendship btw men and women at the first place. Unless if they know how to keep their distance btw each other in the “innocent friends” category.

Nothing beats having sex with an ex

*cough splutter*
where are all the 'there but for the Grace of God go I beoble'?

I personally don't see the point of trying to be friends, especially if you don't move in the same social circles anyway and it's not like you'll have to face them later.

I cut all ties once it's over.

depends..i think that as long as you're not in a committed relationship, where your partner might feel uncomfortable with you remaining in touch with your ex. then i guess it's fine. some ex-s make good friends you know.

some ex-s make good friends you know.

Especially the ones you got along with really well & the relationship ended in a civil way.


Once they take that step forward, its hard to get to what was before.

What does this have to do with being friends with an ex?

Trust me, IT IS hard to be a friend of your ex. :)

Having sex with her ? Taking advantage of her ? Asking her for sumfin ? I find those just lame excuses to tell how pathetic a person can be.

Once u take a step forward, that's it.
Don't look back .. Otherwise, it will bring so damn harsh memories.

i go im with option C...

ending the relationship doesnt mean u dont respect the person and u dont admire him/her, cuz u didnt admire what that person has only cuz u 2 were couples...

Cut off all communications with them.

Depends how it ended indeed, if you think that its better that you don't talk to them anymore than do what makes you happy thats what I learned.

I will cut everything, no need to keep communications when it is over !

i go im with option C...

ending the relationship doesnt mean u dont respect the person and u dont admire him/her, cuz u didnt admire what that person has only cuz u 2 were couples...

I will still admire and respect them but no need to keep them close any more !

depends. some people come into your life for a reason. if there was a friendship, no need to kill that off.

My relationship with my ex is for the best interest of our kids... I wouldnt call it friendship but its like an agreement.

I never really date so many guys in my life but i think if relationship didnt work u can still be friends why cutting off comunications?

I don't see why I shouldn't be friends with them. Maybe we broke up cause we were not meant to be together as lovers but this doesn't mean we can't be friends. I'd definitely stay friends with my Exs

I think it is only natural to distance yourself and not be friends but that does not mean you can't be civil acquaintances who can have a conversation if you happen to talk to each other every once in a while. And I agree with Mesmie, if you're both adults about it, I don't see why PROVIDED you no longer have feelings for one another.

It depends, if your ex still has feelings for you then it's impossible for you to remain friends. If ur both over each other then I don't see the harm in being friends.

depends on the way it ends..mostly cut off communications..but there is execptions
