Well he kissed a girl but I know he liked her but has always loved me. I broke up with him after he did that.. That was the right thing to do right? We had 6 months and then I broke up with him. He was always a good friend but I do miss him. I'm not going to take him back but should I stay friends with him? HOW DO YOU STAY FRIENDS WITH AN EX??

It really depends on how far you went, and how comfortable you both are with this. Some people feel uncomfortable being around an ex, sometimes because his/her partner might have moved on first. And seeing him/her with another person other then them self may strike some jealousy or may feel awkward. So it really depends on how you feel about it, and how he feels about it. Have a talk, or even ask him. Or for a more subtle way, just be his friend and do some friendly gestures, and just see how he reacts to it- and most importantly, see how comfortable you are with this. If he takes it the wrong way, just tell him calmly that you just want to be friends and nothing more (say it if you mean it of course). Or something to that extent. If you don't feel okay, just loose contact little at a time.
Breaking up with him was the right thing to do, but in my opinion (sorry if I'm being too blunt), if he really loved you, he wouldn't have been able to be enticed by another girl he just "liked".
I hope I helped. Good Luck :)

i think it is terribly hard to stay friends with an ex. it depends on how much you have been through with him though. six months might be jst the limit, you might be able to handle it... and if it is what you want, then try to be friends with him again, just make sure you dont want to be with him so you dont attatch to him again. all i do with my exes is talk to them occasionally online. i found that after over a year of dating, it was too hard to see him again, and with someone else. and you did the right thing by breaking up with him in the first place. just be careful.

You can stay friends with your ex but do not let it get in the way of a new relationship. There was a reason why you have an ex... remember that. Do not fall in to the trap again. I am friends with my exs... you can talk about lots of things but I do not bring up our relationship. It won't help to talk about things. Keep it neutral with regards to this area.

You can never just stay "freinds"with your ex..it always leads to the feelings you had before...u mind as well take him back now if you are gonna do that.

It is better to be friends with your ex's. Some of my greatest friends are my ex's. Especailly if he really cared because you never know when you might need a guy friend that you really trust.

Too complicated..its ok to be sociable, like saying hi, how you doing etc. But if you were in a serious relationship, then the friendship just won't work. Too many mixed feelings and emotions.
