Breaking up is horrible I must admit. Never to see that person again is like a mini death. But
If you don’t have children together, why would you keep in touch with them?

There isn't any clear answer to this question. It really depends on you and on the person you broke up with or divorced. In some cases, people can make this work really well. Others, it's not such a good idea. It also depends on whether or not you're with somebody else. If you've got children with the ex, you really need to work together for the sake of your children and be as civil and kind to each other as possible. I think you have to take all of this into account and make the best decision.
But as a general rule, if you're with somebody currently, keeping in touch with ex partners is dangerous business. Unless there is a real good reason, I don't see the value in it. It's too easy to make your current partner feel threatened.
Consider carefully -- that's all I can say.

It depends. Sometimes you can still like a person and get on with a person but it just doesn't gel to be together. If the split was caused by one person and the other person didn;t want to split then I don;t think that being friends after is a good idea,because the person who still has feelings will only be hearing about new relationships etc and I don;t think that is good. But if the split was completely agreeable on both sides and feelings of love etc have gone and you both just see each other in a friendly light rather than a sexual one then I see no reason why they can't remain friends.

She shouldn't feel jealous depending on the kind of relationship they have. Some people stay good friends with their exes and some don't. If they spend 30 mins on the phone every day, I might not go into hysteria, but I would definitely keep my eyes WIDE OPEN.

I still get along with every guy I have cared about because I am a good friend first and they are nice people as well.
last year I caught up with an ex from 8yrs ago We actually hung out together for a couple of days over Christmas no big deal still just friends Happy Happy

Breaking up is tough on people and the thought of how to get your ex back is a frequent one. Here are five ideas you can use - in practice or to brainstorm other ideas. Taking action is always better than moping around.
Talk to her softly - Ever try to get back with someone by trying to prove you were right? If you have, I can assume that it did not go well. Instead of being an overbearing brute, talk to her softly. Let her know how you feel about her, and what direction you are hoping the relationship can go.

Ex, the clue is in the title! If they are ex, whoever did the breaking up doesn't want to be part of the relationship. If they are part of a wider friends group, then, over time you'll probably get to see them from time to time, but wait til you are both happily settled into stronger relationships!!

there would be no reason to keep in contact with an ex one didn't have kids with. u would not want to see or contact them again especially if it were painful, and u did love them. it's just not some where u would want to go again in life. breaking up is heartbreaking, and totally destroys some of us, for awhile, so it is always best to leave the past just where it is.

I only ever broke up with boy friends and I thought it was best not to see them again, either because it hurt me too much, or I couldn't stand them.
To me, if you can stay friends with your ex spouse why didn't you work on the marriage and keep it going.
If you have children then yes you need to keep contact for the children but no one said you have to like it.

Unfortunately i have too cos of my daughter being with her mum, dont like the situation but i have to. I try not to talk or communicate with her but this sometimes becomes a problem when she rubs salt into the wound as she finished with me for no reason and seems to be getting drunk and forgettin what she's done the night before.

Some people stay friends with their exes but I dont see the point. There was a reason that they are ex so forget about them unless you have kids together. I speak to my ex if there are issues about my kids but I hardly ever see him if I can help it.
