Some people find it easy being friends again after breaking. Unfortunately, it's not that easy for others, especially if things ended ugly.

For me, it depends. The guy I dated from the age of 13, until he passed away when we were 21, I got along with whenever we did split up. I have nothing to do with my other ex's. Bad, bad breakups.

I'm close friends with just about every ex I've ever had.

Yes, i am friends with all of my exs, we still get along fine.

I only have one ex so at first it was weird being freinds. But I never seem him or talk to him anymore this year other then a quick "Hello" in the hallway. He's made no effort to speak to me so I haven't either.

No, not at all. You begin to hang out with them and then the feelings you had for them come back... it gets waaaay to confusing. >_<

So, I stay away from my ex's... more like ignore them.

.,:;'`Ghost`';:,.

i have many ex's...but i am currently going out with my 2nd grade buddy tevin witt. I posted his pic on official faces of CL> so look there!

My last girlfriend and I no longer speak, and we see each other in 4 classes at school.

well me and my ex friends don't talk anymore sence we broke up so it is hard to be friends still

luckily for myself... I've never broken up with a girlfriend....

I'm still with my first girlfriend

O.O

It all depends on the former relationship you had with them.

I'm friends with most of my ex's. Well, I've only had 5 girlfriends, and I'm only not friends with one, and that's because she moved to brazil >.<

Well let me think.
5 / 11 of the people I've dated I am good friends with.
I mean, REALLY good friends, it's like nothing ever happened <3
The other 6 vanished off the face of the Earth.
(note : I had nothing to do with it. I swear..)

I have found it's not hard, but it does get awkward at times lol.

Awkwardness is usually a given xD

Yes, awkwardness for the win. Being with them by ourselves is fine since we're still friends. However, being around them with their boyfriend sure makes it interesting.

it really depends..

it is usually really hard right after you break up.. but after a while i guess its OK. unless you really love the person.. then its always hard.

No.


let's just say, when I moved to New York in 5th grade, the first 3 girls I dated, were the main reasons I turned GAY


(not literally, but they were bad)

Yeahhhhhhhh. I know. xD

I'm friends with a couple. It depends on who the person is and how the relationship ended. If it ended on a bad note, I'd rather not be friends with them. However, how many relationships can you actually say end on a good note? :blink:

It depends for me.

Not really...I mean sometimes it is.If I'm not over them,then no.It's very hard to be just a friend.

No, and I wouldn't want it. When it's over, it's over. I've got enough other friends.

I've had two real relationships. The first one ended ugly but yet we still turned out to be good friends. And the second one, I am still on.

sometimes you end a relationship for god knows what.. and you stop talking to your ex. but it sucks when you talk to them and fall for them again.. but you don't want to be with them...or they dont want to be with you.

it really sucks when people are gay. blahhhh :(

yeah .... i've had a couple of ex's
i dont really talk to any of them

cept one
this cute girl named britt

It's easy to be friends with your ex boyfriend. I mean, you once loved him... It's not easy to forget them but instead of hating them, why not accept them in your life again but only as friend... There's only 1 guy that I don't want to see anymore. It was my latest boyfriend.

when they do something really wrong to you, though, it's hard to forgive them.

That would have to be a No from me. The reason of that is that I fall in love quickly and it's hard to heal from being dumped. Plus I might crush on them again, so it's not easy for me to become friends with my exs.

i definitely see where you're coming from.

I don't mind being friends with my ex's. But they seem to have the issue with being friends with me XD Only two of my ex's appear to be good friends with me still. But they both had not been my friend for a while right after the break up. I guess it is just a natural thing that happens.

Mostly i stay friends with my ex's - or even if we have a rough patch after breaking up we always seem to resolve our issues and get back onto friendship terms. My latest ex though i don't think we will ever be friends again. We were best friends for over a year before getting together and fell for each other - after a couple of months of being together he starting hanging around with this girl i didn't get one with. Things started to get bad for us and he ended it - saying it had nothing at all to do with her. A week later i heard they were together. Because of that i have never been able to forgive him for what he did - we occasionally say hi if we see each other around school but i will never be friends with him again!
The friendship after a break up depends on the terms of the break up i think.

No I dont think so not for me anyway. Because if I go back and make friends with him I might fall in love with him again. So NO WAY for me.
And besides its deadly too, now that Im married and my husband sees me with another man. That would ruin our marriage. :(

Only one of my ex girlfriends I was able to stay friends with, and I am dating her again. The other girls I dated, I cannot stand them. Actually, that's putting it far too lightly. I can safely say that I hate them. Thank god the feeling is mutual.

It really depends on how the relationship had ended up. Like most of my ex girlfriends I am still good friends with and there's like one that I hate.

I Voted Depends. Some of my ex's are total Bitches. I've TRIED To be just friends, they weren't going for it. It was Together or Nothing. Others were more willing to be just friends.

I am friends and have been friends with Ex's but it all Depends on how the relationship ended and if they are stupid. I hate an Ex of mine.

I'd say that it depends on the reason behind the breakup, the amount of time passed since the breakup, the amount of time you were together, and whether or not said breakup was amicable.

Here are 3 examples:

1. Couple A

Reason: Infidelity

Time Passed: 1 year

Time Together: 6 years

Amicable? No. Neither party can agree on a reason why the breakup or infidelity occured, or when and where the relationship started to go south.

Chance for friendship? Slim to None. Due to the lack of closure, the same issues can come to light, and will ruin any friendship that they had attempted to create. The amount of time together implies that it was a serious relationship, and there would still be a possibility that one or both are still hurt from the breakup, and stil have feelings for each other, and would still be vulnerable, and most likely to make bad choices because of it.

--------------------

2. Couple B

Reason: Incompatible/Better off as friends

Time Passed: 3 years

Time Together: 1 year

Amicable? Yes, both parties agreed that they were not right for each other and were better off as friends.

Chance for friendship? Favorable, but not guaranteed.. provided that they use their failed relationship as a chance to become better friends, and not to hurt each other.

--------------------

3. Couple C

Reason: Too Young/Different Goals/Long Distance (Such as being teens acting on hormones, going to different schools, or moving a great distance away)

Time Passed: 2+ Years

Time Together: 5+ Years (due to young age like 10 - 13)

Amicable? Yes. Eventually they came to the realization that they were either too young, or not mature enough to deal with the problems that occur in long distance relationships, or weren't strong enough to withstand the temptation, or didn't think it was fair to either to put themselves on hold when there was no guarantee that they themselves would be together, especially since their goals in life were so different.

Chance for friendship? Yes. For the same reasons given under amicable, as well as the fact that they cared enough to let each other go, and they could form a strong friendship because of it. If anything, the chance of them getting back together would be favorable, (if they ended up in the same area) because of their decision to break up when they were younger, and the fact that they are older and more mature and can better deal with the ups and downs of a relationship.

--------------------

I guess I can say that these apply to me to some extent..

My ex cheated, and even though I was faithful, and forgave him.. I could never trust him again.. so I broke up with him. We were together for 8 months, and even though I got over it, I couldn't be friends with him because:

1. His personality is not conducive to a friendship (in that he is an a**hole.. he is more than happy to admit this himself.)

2. He kept telling me that he wants me back, how much he wants to sleep with me, nevermind the fact that he is now married, and I don't have feelings for him anymore, and in a serious relationship with someone else.

3. We weren't really all that close before we dated, and was just someone I had 2 classes with. I thought he was a nice guy and wanted to give him a chance, but didn't think we were close enough to jeopardize the friendship we had.

The guy I dated before my ex, I knew since I was 6 (he was 8 then..) we grew up together, went to the same schools, our parents were friends, etc.. and I used to have a crush on him.. he asked me out one day, and I accepted. I realized after 1 date that the chemistry wasn't there, and that the only relationship we'd have would be platonic, and broke up with him. We are still very good friends to this day.

The guy I am with now, I have been with him for almost 7 years (12/15/07) and I know that with the way I feel about him, that I would not be able to be friends with him if we broke up. I love him very much, and feelings like that don't go away easily.. and I am not sure if they ever would. :wub

I voted depends because it really does depend on who its is.

I'm basically friends with all my ex-girlfriends, though sometimes a few of them are bitches.

It depends, on many factors.

It's difficult to be friends with them. I try to but not.
