Ex's that are friends?

[Extreme586]

Ok so I've noticed a lot recently that people who used to be dating break up and I still see them talking to each other all the time, like they are friends. So I was wondering if any of you tend to do that with past relationships you've had and still talk to your ex but as friends?

[Melodic]

Yeah I actually do. I tend to be friends with my past relationships. Only one I am not friends with, and that's because he was a jerk. But I also know relationships where they say let's just be friends and treat eachother badly. So I know it's different for most cases.

In my case my ex has turned into one of my very close friends, I'd like to be better than friends again, but yes it has happened so yeah I am friends with my ex. I don't get this whole "we're broke up, we MUST argue" it's stupid

[Jeremy08]

I get what you mean and I just couldn't. No matter how hard I tried I just cannot accept the fact of making friends with an ex. Besides, why should you get close to her(of which is becoming her friend) when you had something a lot bigger and more meaningful than that with her before? But that's just me.

Sort of friends with three of my exs. We talk once in a while but not a lot

One of my closest male friends is an ex, and we actually give each other relationship advice. We were so close before that we quickly realized we were better off as friends, and it's stayed that way.

I think the majority of my ex's are still my friends. Just because something doesn't work romantically doesn't mean you have to break off all ties from them forever. There are other aspects in life besides romance and love, and I would say friendship is a pretty damn important other-aspect. If you still enjoy being her friend then there's little reason to push her away, however, don't be a dumbass and start falling for her again. When you break up with someone it should be a well thought out, honest decision where you're completely sure something won't work out for valid reasoning. There should be nothing trivial about it afterwards, otherwise, you've made a mistake. Simple as that.
