just got some opinions from my personal friends about this. And I want to ask you guys about this... Is it normal that even when you are married do you still care with your ex? I know we can be friends with our ex.

I think that it is very normal to care for your ex... You had been very close at some point in time. You have done a lot of things together. You cared and loved for each other. There's nothing wrong with it. As long as you put just stay it that way. Just think also of your spouse when you think of it. It is natural for your partner to get jealous with your ex because they know that you have been close together..

yes, and specially when you were very attached with his/her family. His family still care for me too.

I see. I know what you mean. My ex, well I'm close with his family. He's got a gf.. I did not even text nor call his mom anymore. I think she even changed numbers.. It's better this way..

yes it is normal to care about your ex's well-being. and it's ok to be friends with your ex... however, there's a thin line between being friends with them platonically, and being friends with some hidden agenda in it.. especially if one or both of you still love each other.. be careful though, you might end up hurting yourself... or someone - that may be your ex, or your spouse...

I think to some point you still care about your ex. I doesn't necessarily mean that you love them, but you care about their well-being. I've been married and divorced 3 times. I lost touch a long time ago with my first ex. I don't really stay in touch with my second, except through my oldest daughter. And I live about 45 miles from my last ex-husband, as for caring about them, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them, but I'm only friends with my last ex-husband. My last relationship was a live-in relationship that lasted almost 4 years. Although we are no longer in touch, I do stay in touch (online) with his daughter, and hope the best for him. He had a heartattack just before I moved out, at the age of 47. So, yeah I think we can still care about them.

I dont think thats normal at all! I think thinking or even caring for your ex when your married is pretty much crazy.The mere fact that you married someone that means your ready to give most of your life and love , affection to him or her, now to even care for somebody else especially your ex is something that someone mad will do.Unless you want your marriage to end up pretty much early . You should forget bout this ex of yours and move on with your life and love your partner with all your heart thats what all couples should do ;)

I think its normal to care with your ex especially when you ended your relationship in a nice way. Its alright if you care for your ex but just as a friend then. It does not necessary mean if you care it means you still have feelings for that person. Its just caring no more no less.

we separated in a nice way. Its our mutual decision. And actually we chat in facebook sometimes. We share parenting experiences.

hi, if you still care about your ex, it means you still have feelings for that person..
