Posted: 11/12/2007 8:21:22 PM | | yeah, it's okay to friends with your ex. and if your hubby comes home and tells you he was "just talking with his ex," just take off the warning tag off the blow dryer before you throw it the cozzy warm tub you prepared for him. | |

Posted: 11/13/2007 12:59:25 AM | I tried to but soon after we split I found out his true character - paranoid, insecure, lying, egotistical and a serial shagger. The worst part is he's no doubt saying all sorts of lies about me and there's nothing I can do to stop him. Some friend!  | |

Posted: 11/13/2007 2:38:23 AM | Yes you can, but it doesn't happen over night. And it takes a huge amount of maturity. I am friends with my first ex. I initially didn't want to be, given he cheated on me during the marriage. But when you have kids, as Dr. Phil would say "Someone needs to step up and be the hero". So I suppose I swallowed a huge amount of pride the day I stopped arguing with him about everything.
It made it so much easier. I never fought with him in front of our kids, but they always knew the tension was there when they got dropped off or picked up. Now we stand there and talk for 20mins to an hour everytime we see each other. Stuff about the kids, stuff about us, stuff about old friends or family. It is nice to be friends with him again. We probably should have just stayed friends nearly 20 yrs ago, but if we did that I wouldn't have 3 gorgeous children. | |

Posted: 11/14/2007 10:03:58 PM | | Yes, I am friends with many of mine. And I am on good terms with all but one of them, but he lives on the other side of the world, so that's fine by me. | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 1:47:41 AM | I'm friends will all bar one of my ex's and that was because it was too painful at the time and he has since moved on and his new partner isnt happy about us being friends!
when i have been so close to someone to just cut them out of my life would be a shame,
My best friend was an ex of mine, we went through some tough stuff together and i think we will always be friends but it only works so will because we were both happy with the way it ended. We discuss everything now, new partners and intimate relationships, sometimes i take a step back and wonder how we manage it.
My other 2 ex's are a bit more hassle, i think only because at the time of break up they wanted something different to me, but i still chat with them. | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 2:05:57 PM | | Me and my ex always promised each other that if we ever broke up, we would remain friends, but she cheated on me after being together for 4 year, so when i split up with her, it all ended kinda badly, and friendship wasnt an option any more. especially when the ex is rubbing it in your face that she is with the guy she cheated on with me, so i gues sit all depends on how you guys split up, and whether you can seperate your romance and sexual feelings from "only friends" feelings. | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 6:50:36 PM | | Yes, I'm still friends with my Ex-wife, and many of the women I've dated. But it only works if BOTH parties understand and respect the agreed upon boundaries of the friendship. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 9:20:30 PM | Here is a bit of advice I gave a friend and finally had to follow myself:
You cannot be friends with someone unless you want them to be happy.
That means you have to be okay with them dating someone else. You have to be okay with seeing them express PDA's with this person. No jealousy. No hard feelings.
I couldn't get to that point with my ex. If you can get there with yours, then it might work. | |
