can ex's(ex boyfriend ex girlfriend) be really friends?

Yes they can. If you want it to be and if the ex wants to be too. Sometimes they can argue and it can become really nasty but if you sit and talk it out and say what needs to be said and commit to a friendship then sure. Hope that helps. $-MrDollars-$

Yes they can be good friends. me and my wife have lots of our ex's as our friends. They know what we feel for them. I too have a good & friendly relation with them. They have understood the difference between the past and the present and have been nice to me. I too have an ex gf who is on my wife's fb friends list.

Yes, if you would give them time to find new lover to forget you. but if your ex cheated on you, chances are slim, unless you forgive him in the end. it's all up to you

Ex's being friends depends on each party. If each party has finally got over with each other and has accepted the fact that they weren't meant to be and that there is already another, then they could work out to be friends.. But of course I think it doesn't really happen overnight.. It happens through time as all wounds has been healed, and the hurt been forgotten.. I'd like to think that being friends with ex's is really cool, but I had relevant but different situation when I was single. I used to have a boyfriend, which was my husband right now but we were on the rocks then, and I had another boyfriend from my work,though the relationship did not last because I broke up with him and chose to stay with my boyfriend (my hubby). My ex and I are friends, and we txt from time to time..We already have our own happiness..

I think it depends on how they broke up. In the case of a third party, it's less likely they can really be friends. It also depends on the people. What they are like, how they interact, etc. Was there an element of friendship in their relationship? If so that would make it easier to just focus on that friendship.

I think in my own opinion EX can be friends but not close friends. It has bigger chance that you both will again develop your feelings. You can start asking a lot of questions with each other and regret what you both have done. I have been in that situation before and I almost fell in love again. Thanks to my brain is above my heart because I will be fooled again in his promises. But if you are in a situation that you have a new boyfriend it is better not to make friends at all with you EX or he might ruin your new relationship.

Well when both of your thoughts are different and feel if you both need no love for eachother, then your choice is right. A marriage is bond of love and need of each other and respecting each other choices. If not, then a small gap and freedom can help grow without hurting each others feelings.

Hi asynjure If you cannot be friends with your ex meaning you are still holding on to "what may". You just have to move on and don't you think if you are friends with them, then you can show your ex that its his/her loss that he/she left you. Improve yourself for the better so that when the right one comes along you are prepared.

Yes they can be still friends if they accept that their relationship was over and they both moved on and if there's no issues behind their breakups then why not? Its good to be friend with your ex's since they know you more and you know them too.

Maybe its depend on us. There are some that they think, that its much better not to be friend with x bf/gf to avoid of getting hurt again., and able to move on. But there are some that they wanted to stay friend, despite of what happen. But i guess these kind of people are still in love and care with each other. ;)
