Question

Can u be friends with your ex?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

yes, I still love my ex dearly but in order to be friend I am not "in" love with him

Answer 3

For me yes I am still friends with most of my X's however it would depend on what the X was like and why they are X's if there was abuse in the relationship, I would say no, stay away, not a good thing to stay in touch with that type.  

Answer 4

depends what kind of people you are I suppose

I cant get along with one of mine but the other two are fine

I think it depends how far you've went with them

Answer 5

as long as you don't introduce your next boyfriend to hiim as "your ex" stop calling him your ex & call him your friend & it'll work. unless you dumped him & he wants you back that's too complicated. let him get over you 1st

Answer 6

depends if you really like them and if you split up because of you or because of your ex

Answer 7

It depends on the circumstances surrounding a breakup between two people. If it was a mutual, amicable decision for each person to go their own way, then friendship is more than likely, and probably not a bad idea.

   On the other hand, if the breakup was because of trust issues, or an abusive spouse,etc, which results in a nasty, messy divorce or breakup, then the chances of friendship would be the same as the possibility of h**l freezing over.

Answer 8

All i can tell you yes there is definately nothing wrong with that and it does not matter weather people know or what, there is no such a thing that you can not be a friend to your ex.

Forget what people say they are not some kind of experts.

And the more you hang out with him the more they keep thier mouth shut.

Answer 9

in some cases, yea, but if your best friends i think you are meant to be with them

Answer 10

Sure. Why Not? Just because your not in a romantic relationship doesnt mean ou still can't be friends!

Answer 11

trust me if you truly love the guy or the girl

then no matter how hard yo try to be friends

you wont be able to

you will always remember the time you spent as lovers and the laughs you shared

Friendship can be developed to be love but NOT vice versa

Answer 17

if i still love him no.  It would be a huge game of him making me jealous with other girls cause hes "single" and all that.  then he would still expect s*x of course.  And you know how the saying goes " Why buy the cow when you get the milk for Free"  yeah so I want mine back in order to get him back I have to let him go.  Not be his friend.  Hope I helped!
