Can You Be friends with Your Ex again?

I think it's possible. It really depends on why the relationship broke up. Some things could defeniatly make becoming friends a lot harder. Like if one of the partners cheated on the other...that's a little hard to recover from. Trust is very important in any relationships; dating or friendship. But if they broke up because they weren't sure they wanted the same things in life...maybe they've changed. Maybe they are more compatible then they first thought. Whatever the reason, I believe if the people really want to, and have some kind of love for eachother (even if it is only friendship) then I defeniatly think it is possible to be friends with an ex. Now let's say the guy is a real jerk...abusive and mean. Then I hope a girl wouldn't want to be friends with him! If anyone in the relationship was really extreme in their behaivor then I would say no, they probably shouldn't be around eachother. It just all really depends!

yes i can be friends with my ex well most of them some of them on the other hand can be a pain in the .... they are jealous and hate full

yeah, I believe we’re better off as friends if we cant be together. And why lose a friend just because something doesn’t work out between two people? Might be hard though. it will take a while for me to be able to be friends again and things wont be the same ever again. Unless the situation was so dramatic or the breakup was really bad and totally unforgivable then i might not want to be friends at all.

I think this is quite individual and really much dependent with our past and the basis why we part company. So far, I am glad non of my previous has been a violent and/or abusive when we parted our ways. Most of them are now my friends to this day, even some of them are already married and have children. I believe that if we cannot be husband and wife this lifetime we can still be friends and having one more friend means there will be one lesser stranger in this world.

it's definitely possible depending on the situation. if it ended on good terms then i think it's very possible to have a friendship afterwards. if it ended on bad terms then it might not be possible, at least not for a while. God bless

I am actually friends with my ex. We used to go through spells where we would realize our feelings for each other again, but I think we are finally ok with just being friends. I really care about him as a person, so I still like to hang out with him, but the romantic feelings are finally gone. On the other hand, I think it would be extremely hard to stay friends with my other ex. It just depends on your ex's personality and jealousy

Yes I can actually and have been with an ex for many many years... He knew when we broke up we just weren't right for each other.. And things wouldn't work out if were have to have been together longer.. He's not a hateful kind of person or jealous type or at least I don't think so.. However I did marry into his family... Funny huh... I ended up marrying his cousin a distant cousin actually... He tended to be ok with it.. I guess reason being i was related to him.. But other than another ex well he went to the extend of stalking me so there I put my foot down and told him to go away and NEVER return.. Those kind of ex's aren't worth my time...

I can be friendly to my ex's but I could never be their friend. Most of them treated me really bad and I could never trust them ever again. I gave them several chance and they did the same thing to me every time. One of them used to beat me and I would never give him the time of day or be his friend ever again.

Its wonderful if its possible to all but unfortunately its just too painful for some! It depends with the situations!!!

Yes, its better to forget what happen before.

i don't think this possible...i actually broke up with my hubby at one point and i called him one day to tell him we could try to be friends again and next thing you know we're married & have a daughter together, lol. It was the best decision I ever made to be his friend again...the other exes i would not want to be friends with in a million years.

Yes. SOme of my exes are my friends and one of them is my best friend. Those who cannot interact with their exes are bitter and in a hard coping situation. I just say so base on my experience. It happen that when you saw your ex lonely, you may think that he was lonely because of you and make you feel happy. BUt if you see them happy, you will be sad because they are happy without you. If you give yourself time to forget and forgive, you will see a positive result. There will no pain and your ex can't even get into your nerve. They say friends can be lovers but lovers cannot be friends again but i don't believe this because it will only give you pain if you still pushing your ex away from you. This is just my opinion regarding this matter. So, how about you?

no i could never be friends with my first husband was a very abusive relationship we were together 11 years and finally got enough courage to leave and realize i am strong and can make it on my own
