| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 9:44:11 AM | U said u still love him...if u go with that "let's be friends" thing, u think u can handle it if one day he'll come with another woman and say..."Emily meet my gf..."...if u can handle that then u're ok..but if u wanna be friends with him and still hoping for him to come back, maybe that's a bad thing to do...why don't u try to be friends with him, when u know that u're totally healed inside..otherwise that will break ur heart even more. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 9:44:20 AM | @touch...well thank god i'm not your friend... i can't even fathom sleeping with my ex wife again.
no offense of course.... wish you the best with you and your ex. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 9:56:58 AM | | my ex is an ex for a reason. Why would i want to have sex with him? Besides, it wasn't all that in the first place and he is remarried. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 11:29:33 AM | | touch me- we don't know you and you don't know us. please don't be offended by other's views as that is what the forums are for. you're not stupid so don't let others ruin your day. i have friends that are like that too. myself, i am still friends with the ex after 20 years of marriage. we get along better now than when we were together. we have a kid together and still both of us are in tune with that. we were friends before marriage so why should that change just because we can't live together? we do not sleep with each other either. that had stopped long before we finally split. we still would help each other in any way possible without attaching any strings. that to me is what friends do. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 4:29:50 PM | | I still talk with 2 of my EXs. One is actually a really good friend and the other I speak to roughly 3 or 4 times a year just to catch up. After breaking up all sex came to a halt, we knew we got along as friends but sex just complicates things when you have the history. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 4:34:16 PM | | Friends with the ex ? hah... i THINK NOT it's a waste of time to have someone in my life that would hurt me....no anyone i ever date know's straight from the start that if the relationship ends then they get cut out of my life too... | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 5:05:30 PM | There is always one person hurt more then the other. Whats the point of staying friends with them if everytime you talk its bitterness?
Some people are worth staying friends with but just keep in mind that you are ex's for a reason.

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 5:12:35 PM | | I am good friends with my ex husband. Friends with my daughter's dad. I think once you get over the shock of not being with them that way, you usually get along better as friends. I'd rather that than hate them. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 5:41:19 PM | I think it depends on how long the two of you where together, and how bad the break up was. Most of my ex's I haven't seen since we broke up, which is the way I wish it was with my exwife, but we have 2 children together so I still have to deal with her. I hate even the thought of talking to her, since after 12 years of being together and 9 years of being married to her she made the divorce as nasty as she could.
You need to deside whats best for you and your feelings, if its going to hurt, don't. | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 5:43:16 PM | | I think it depends on why you broke up. I have an ex that became one because he moved to CA for work...so of course we are still friends. There were no hard feelings.... | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 5:54:28 PM | It is VERY possible to be friends with your ex... My Parents still hang out together and even dance together at the bars... they all hang out together (my dad, stepmom,her ex and my mom etc..) and all have a good ol' time.....SO it is possible.... | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 7:32:58 PM | i live with my ex cause i have no where close by to go to and we try to be friends but latly we been fighting alot  | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 8:40:35 PM | My ex and I don't talk at all, I wish we did and I do try but she's in denial about the whole break up. It would be nice if we could talk and just get along as friends but I can never see that happening as she can't stand the fact that I'm living my life as a single person. It's sad when two people can't get along after a break up, specially when there's kids involved. | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 8:47:50 PM | My Ex just left...No we don't have sex...we did sixteen years ago though He brought me chocolate cake gotta love that ! oh and a box of wine...Ha Good Jeffie | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 8:59:20 PM | | Friends with the ex is one of those strange oximoronic things people try. I dont believe it can happen. you can be civil, decent, and mature, but "friends"? No. cant be accomplished without an ulterior motive. | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/26/2005 9:07:53 PM | | nope...first ex lives elswhere...second ex lives 10 minutes away and i try hard to avoid him.....lol | |
|
| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/27/2005 9:50:34 AM | | i am still friends with 2 of my ex's. didnt split on bad terms tho....It is definitely possible to remain friends. altho the reasoning behind the break up determines more often than not whether you do....its not healthy to stay good friends with someone tho if one or the other is still in love as this will surely complicate matters especially when the other starts to date again.... just remember they are ex's for a reason.... | |

| Friends with the ex? Posted: 6/27/2005 10:06:42 AM | My childrens father and I have been divorced for 13 years. Last summer, when I was at the lowest point of my life, it was he AND his wife (my closest friend) that came to my rescue. I, in return, would do absolutely anything for either of them. Words could never explain how deeply I value this friendship.
no such thing sex is always on the table.
Thats ridiculous. | |
