in theory of course. but in practice, it's just no good. at the best, u can be Acquaintances. but anything more than that asks for trouble, heartache, or jealousy.

remember, it's really hard for boys and girls to be good, close friends. when u think about it, guys who try to be friends w/ certain girls is usually because they find them attractive or liked them at some point, more than a friend. but when they like a girl as a whatever friend, they won't really go out of their way for them. so the relationship already is biased towards women they are Interested in... =T anyways, long story short, leave on good terms, but don't talk too often or stay attached, it can stop u from finding a New boyfriend

Yes. I am friends with my ex-husband. Although he lives far away from me so I don't ever see him, and we don't talk that often. But when we do talk, we are friendly. He is remarried, and I have seen pictures of his new wife and child. It's pretty cool.

There is also another guy I used to date who I am friends with. We've known each other for about 8 years. We only dated for about 6 months at the most.

It is possible.

I don't know about friendship, but I think as a person gets older and wiser, it is nice to make peace with the people with whom you had relationships or experiences in your lifetime that perhaps didn't work out. That doesn't necessarily mean to have ongoing relationships with them, but at least acknowledge you shared something while on earth. But this doesn't always work out and some people are truly lethal to our health and should be avoided. If they are good people, its nice to make peace, especially if you share children with them. But again, making peace doesn't mean you have to see them in an ongoing friendship. Years ago a fellow worker fell apart when she heard her ex-husband had died. I was perplexed because she always said he was a terrible husband. But, years later I realized that for better or for worse they had shared a moment in time with each other, and she couldn't escape sentimental feelings acknowledging that. So, that sort of taught me to make peace when you can, and move on when you can't. You have to remember that former "ex's" might have partners and kids by new relationships so you have to be careful. Making peace is always nice though.

I was married twice before I got right. My first husband was also my daughter's dad. He and I were always the best of friends, he remarried years ago and he and his wife always joined us for holidays and birthdays. I think my daughter has thrived from that. He passed away last year. His wife is still one of our best friends. My second husband was a terd. Still is, but I am much closer to his daughter than he is. Families aren't traditional anymore, and you can never have too many friends. Who knows you better than your ex. If you have children, please try to remain friends.

An ex is an ex for a reason. If I see him in my travels I'll speak to him. As far as me calling him for casual conversation and the occasional movie--heck no. We broke up on good terms but he is part of a closed chapter in my life. I have moved on.

I am still friends with both my X wives and the last person I was was in a long relationship with.We all know the same people so our paths cross and we are friendly and even still call each other and sometimes go out.It's not a big deal.

why would you not be friends with your ex if you could? You once saw something good in that person, that did not go away just because it didn't work out between the two of you.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with being friends with an ex. I wish that I had been friends with my ex husband. He died not too long after we divorced.

I tried on and off for about a year. During this time we were supposed to be "FRIENDS AGAIN", we kept getting back together and i kept getting f-ed over by him. We converse like once every couple months now. its better to just stay on good terms, rather than be "FRIENDS"
