i ended up breaking up with my ex and getting back together twice, even though we broke up, we still hung around with the same group of friends, which is how we met and every time we meet up, we have mixed feelings... but i guess it's all how you guys break up, obviously if one cheated on another, then they wouldnt be friends but if it was mutally it could work, but it'll be harder for the both of them coz i kno a friend who broke up a while ago and they were like really close and i would have never thought they would break up, and they still did but are still friends, yet i still hear talk about how he misses him
it depends on how you feel about the person and what happened between you guys. it would be sad to not be friends, since you guys did share moments (unless those where bad ones, than why be friends or even be with someone who gives you bad memories) together and he/she is someone who would know you quite well. im friends with my ex's - one of them my really good friend even though he live on the side of the country from me now, we still chat/call each other/visit each other every year to hang out - he really someone that can cheer me up and knows me inside and out, we been apart for about 6 years now. another one, i keep in touch on a daily basics, cause he someone that shares the exact same thoughts as me and we are just too a like to not be friends. there only one i wish i wasn't friends with, aleast not right now...is my last ex....i promise him we be friends and keep in touch after if we were to break up, so right now it a promise...but it a hard promise to keep cause i still have some feelings for him.
i agree..that it depends..because like i still wanna be friends with my one Ex..but my other i just want to ignore him because he brings me in too much trouble and drama...the other i'm just like cool with..although there are still feelings from the past but i try to block it out so that it doesn't ruin my friendship!
i think you can be friends as long as you and ur ex had a "clean" break up. If it's complicated and you still hold feelings for each other, then it's better to not be too close right after the break up.
I don't think so that I will be friends with my ex girl friend . I would be very hard and painful for me to hang out with her and the other stuff after the broke up . I am very clear in this respect that I can not be friendly with my ex again ever in my life .
