For some odd reason I'm never friend's with any of my ex's. It seems like if we tried to be friends afterwards thing's was really strange or when their life fell apart they wanted to turn back to their last resort. Which was me! So do you continue friendship's with your ex's? If so does things get weird?

From observation....i can say that it borders on two timing with the current boyfriend...the friend i have in mind right now, says that it is a mature act ....but i seeing how they still feel for each other....it's like staying on-love with the ex and moving on with another person at the same time. I don't know what that is!

" friends could become lovers but once lovers you can never be friends" i think this is true most of the time although there are some exceptions. I avoided my exes when I was younger and even today that I have matured, something with it is kind of awkward lol

Though we act like friends after break up, all that we're focused on is showing the our ex how great our life is, even without them! Lol. So obviously its better that we stay away from THAT friendship

@Bella27 True.... moving on obviously means leaving the relationship behind, and not giving it a new name!

There are some that I'm still friends with. Those that weren't that serious and didn't last long. But not for those that lasted long and were pretty serious. It would feel really weird for me.

I think being friends with your ex is okay depending on what is the reason or how the break up happens. If he/she cheated on you then I dont think being friends with your ex is okay but if your break up is a mutual decision because you two fell out of love then being friends is not bad.

I dont think we can be as just normal friend with someone after break up.. its naturally impossible. Things will be different and more importantly its very vulnerable.. so its always good for both to stay away from each other after break up. Yes @Bella27 it happens naturally that you cannot be comfortable with them unless you didnt have any strong feeling for them when committed with them.

It really depends on the ex. I have attempted to stay friends with every single one of my ex's. After a while, most of them were weird and tried to get back together again. I cut them out from my life and have never seen them again and I don't regret my decision. However, a few ex's are still my friends. I think you should definitely give friendship a go if it's not going to be emotionally painful for you. Then, if things get weird, it will probably be pretty easy to cut ties on that relationship. Hope that helped!
