I am really good friends with one of my ex's. There is absolutly no pressure. We are still just as close now but without the whole commitment thing. We dont get intimate together either. We are just straight friends. I love it. Just because things dont work out doesnt mean you cant move on and still have a freind. It takes some time but, once both people move on it works out beautifuly sometimes. Well in my case anyway. We love each other in a friend way.

After my ex quit his drug use, he became a pretty decent person and I enjoyed talking to him. We lived in different states, but I liked him and we had a good friendship. There wasn't any pressure because I had absolutely NO desire to ever be with him again, but we had good conversations. It broke my heart when he died suddenly about 5 years ago, and my current husband was more then willing to let me fly back to his funeral....which I didn't do. I hope you will eventually be able to get to that point. It wasn't until we were divorced for at least 5 years that we got to this point. It's not possible for everyone, but if you really loved this person then you have a kind of trust or understanding that you don't have with someone else. Good luck.

Depends how old you are I think and the reason for breaking up. I am best friends with my ex from High School (freshman).
However as I got older more feelings and deception played big parts. I dont talk to my recent ex cause it hurts me to much and it was unhealty for me to keep holding on to a hope that we might get back together when he concidered us "friends".
You really have to do what feels right for you.
Good Luck.

My ex and I tried to be friends, but it didn't work. At first we were friends with benefits, and then he'd only talk to me when he got a new girlfriend, but he expected me to still tell him everything (like the fling I had). A year later, after ignoring me and he turned 21, he thought he was hot **** and tried to get back together with me...not happening! In all honesty, it depends how bad the break up was. I'm still friends with my first boyfriend (who I still believe is a really sweet guy, he was just a work-a-holic)

Lol this is a good question!
At First it was fine we could be friends but when asking became demanding well time to regroup.
Then as time went on and we really did go our separate ways it wasn't so bad. We talk but it feels more like talking to a stranger whom I don't want to give all my info to, rather than a friend that all ready knows my likes and dislikes,,,, know what I mean?

Theres no presure if both of you are mature about it, as in only look at each other as friends and with friend like intentions. I'm friends with all my ex's and because we went out were closer than ever u could say that we are best friends

Although we don't keep in touch regularly as my current partner is pretty jealous, we sometimes text each other (birthdays, Christmas, odd moments of reminiscence). I'm not in love with him at all now but he'll always hold a special little corner of my heart and I'll always look out for him.

I think it depends on the foundation that you had in your previous relationship. If you ended on good terms there is not reason not to remain friends if you care about each other. Just keep in mind its best to keep it just friends because you did break up for a reason.

I am curently in a friends with benefits with my ex who is also the father of my 15 year old. We have this bond that is not to be denied. We both married other people and both are not divorced and having a GREAT time with each other..Time will see what happens but there is no pressure on either of us.

I have 3 guys that am very close to and they tell me about their new girlfriend's all the time. I just think we have come to the conclusion that we were not meant to be together. So that help us continue to be good friends.
