I think it's hard to stay friends but it's very possible to keep a good relationship especially if there was children, there must be good reasons for people to separate and not both parties will look at it the same way, there's always some kind of bitterness at least at one end and that makes it hard to be good friends.

It is rare though, most people find it uncomfortable to remain friends with an ex. especially if they have someone new. You don't want to cause problems.

Yes, is the short answer. Maybe, with reservations is the longer answer. You must have had some good times to remember with an ex or you wouldn't have been together, so those are the things to remember with friendship. The 'maybe' aspect comes with the manner of breaking up. If there was a lot of poison, violence, etc. then you wouldn't want to be friends later, would you.

If you feel that your relationship is secure enough. And that both side agree. I don't see why not. My husband and I did. Once in a while you got jealous is normal as long as you can keep your distance to avoid an old flame burn again. And try to keep your partner involved whenever your ex-around....

In my opinion, yes its ok, i can't see anything wrong with that as long as you are not doing anything wrong and you are not stepping any person. Why is it from being lovers you will become strangers again??? i think it would be a pity of you will not be friends anymore, you have already shared good and bad memories which honed your personality. and besides he/she became part of your life and you have to accept that fact..It better to be friends than enemies right???? R we bitter with our ex that's why we don't want to be friends with them..I suppose we should not bring the past back anymore and start a new one by being "friends". Many people will say that it is awkward but we should face the reality...

I think it isok if u vboth have moved on and can manage to befriends. If there is a kid involved you even have to work on beeing friends for the sake of the child. However I am not friends with my ex, but that is a different story!
