Guys and Gals, if you stay in contact with your ex, is that because you are still interested in her/him for more that just friends or just as friends and that's it? and If you don't keep in contact with your ex, would it be because you still care about her/him and not being friends is better of or just because you don't care to even be friends to begin with?

I have remained friends with several of my exs. Just because you aren't a couple any more doesn't mean that you have to alienate yourself from the other person. I'm sure that you have friends in common and more than likely you have developed a relationship with his/her family. Just because you are friends doesn't mean that you have romantic feelings or desires for the other person. The choice is really up to both parties - some can handle it and some can't. I think the way the parties handle it depend on the level of maturity of each individual.

It just depends on what terms you parted on. Right now, I cannot be friends w/ my ex. I recently discovered that he was very manipulitive and lied about SO many things, and basically used me, to make himself look good, in front of our co-workers. He revealed some very personal information about our involvement, to other people.... A true "friend" wouldn't do that. So, I severed the friendship and I refuse to contact him in any way, for anything. Sometimes, it's just a healthier decision, to cut it off entirely...

I fairly have an similar techniques about one among my exes. We went out for fairly some months, yet weren't emotionally connected and quite fairly did no longer have very a lot in straight forward... yet, he quite needs to keep contact. both one everybody is in different, pleasing relationships. i have come to the end that he in basic terms would not like the theory that i does no longer opt to communicate over with him. i imagine that's an ego component for him. He would not opt to purely be reduce off or disregarded, it would likely make him sense undesirable about himself. that's my take.... that's demanding to inform along with your ex... yet when he in basic terms needs a "shall we chat right here and there" type of "friendship", then what does that damage?

I am very good friends with two of my ex fiances. I think it is because we were such good friends before we started dating. We made a mutual decision to end the engagements and acted like adults. My 3rd and last ex fiance I want nothing to do with. When I told him I didn't want to marry him he threw a fit even though it was because of his behavior and I count my blessings everyday that I didn't go through with it.

Ask yourself why you parted the first time and you'll find your answer. I could stay friends with an ex if he lived a million miles away and I would never have to look at him

A good relationship is based on friendship. I would have wanted to stay friends with my ex, but he wasn't interested.
Over time you might end up drifting apart anyway, moving, meeting new friends, etc

Im friends with all of my X's except for 2 who were a complete waste of space. Im not interested in them at all in a sexual way, but we were friends at some point and talked to eachother about everything... why would I want to throw that away... Friends are hard to come by anyways. So My philosophy is WHY WOULDNT i be friends with them??

I keep in contact with my ex because she is my soulmate and my best friend and can't be here now for certain reasons. I'll always hope things change.

Alright this boyfriend I used to have dumped me for another girl that was younger than me. I was mad at him for a while and we didn't speak to each other but now we are best friends cause he knows me soo well. I can't see wasting a good friendship just because you aren't actually dating.
