Do you have any ex's as your facebook friends? Are you really "just friends" with your ex or is facebook a way to keep up with his/her life after its over? Im curious on your views of this!

I'm not friends with any of my ex's. I don't talk to them or have any contact with them at all. The way I see it is, They are my ex's for a reason and they're better off left in the past. Several of my ex's have tried to add me to FB but I just ignore them because 1: I'm happily engaged and 2: I just don't want anything to do with them.

That's how I feel too. I don't see a point in keeping in touch with ex's. They're in the past and it's best if they're left there.

I am still friends on Facebook with a couple of my ex boyfriends simply because of the fact that we are still friends, and I do feel as though we worked through our differences to mean that we are now friends. My current boyfriend was a little bit wary about this at the beginning of our relationship, but he soon learned that they didn't mean any harm, and that they were no threat at all to him, and this means that he soon got used to the fact that we were friends and nothing that he could say was ever going to change that.

Well thats good your boyfriend does understand that yall are just fiends. I am friends with my ex boyfriends also but I guess because facebook constantly tells you what people say and do or shows photos and any updates on your friends, I just dont want to be QUITE so up to date on that much of my exs life. I agree being friends is always good (unless something tragic happened in the relationship) but not the constant staying in touch, ya know? I guess its the same way I would feel about my boyfriend talking and staying in touch with his exs. I trust him and he trust me but I think you have to draw the line somewhere with the past...leave it in the past or you may as well still be together if you always talk! Does your boyfiend still talk with his exs too though???

I my case tmulley. I have close friends and somehow ex's in my account. But rather than grumping and blocking them. I tried to reach to them as good as possible to stay friends in against all the odds. Somehow, try to exchange thoughts about the past and sooner or later both of you will end up just like a neighborhood bestfriends. and take note, me and my past gf are still friends today and we just laugh about all our worries before. by the way have a nice day tmulley.
