I meet some people who still be friends with their ex.. I don't understand, how can it happen?.. What if their new partners feel jealous?.. don't they think it?

actually whether i still be friends with my ex mostly depends upon how was our relationship and the reason for break up, many girls stay friends with ex but hide it from their present boyfriends which i think is totally wrong. I am in touch with my two ex and all friends know that as our relationship ended on mutual consent but with the third one we our each other biggest enemy lolz

i guess it does depend on the situation, on how you broke up and if it is possilbe to remain friends to an extent. i know a few people who are friends with their ex's, sometimes it for the kids sake they are friends. others are cause they are acting like adults. i know i will never be friends with my ex again, due the way we broke up. even for our sons sake he most likely wont be able to put that aside and act like an adult.

I do think that it is possible to remain friends with your ex. And I also think that it's possible for the current partners to be understanding. If there is honesty and trust in the current relationship, it does help. I don't see why exes can't remain friends, after they break-up.

hello lukisanaku! i wonder what your name means... well,regards to your topic, it depends on how both parties broke up. there are relationships which don't really lasts that long it's as if they both just tried if they will work out even if there's not much love at all. it's easy to forgive and be friends with exes only if you both know what limitations you have. and about those new partners, i think lots of trust is needed to be in the relationship for it to be strong enough. if you love someone you have to learn to trust them unless you know that they don't really love you.

hi i am rahul from india!!! well dear your question is true when any any one meet with his ex the his ex`s partner feel jealous and its not bad according to the budy who jaleous.every body will jelous. well the main point is why they not think this. according to me they think in the past one time was when they was closest withe their ex and at this time they are close with their ex. i mean the present times friendship is nothing when they compare their past time clossness and then they nothing think about their partner. he jelous or not.

I'd love to be friends with my ex, but unfortunately we don't. in fact one of my ex delete me from his friend list on facebook lol.. it doesn't matter cause I still remember them as friends in my heart and wish them all the best. I'm married anyway.

i am friends with my ex and my present partner doesn't mind that.. i guess it depends on your situation.. coz for me, i explain to my present boyfriend that there's nothing too get jealous about and we're just friends.. past is past and nothing more.. but of course, limitations kick in.. i don't communicate with my ex often.. i don't want things to get complicated.. it's just a nice feeling that my ex and my present boyfriend are friends too..
