Can you be friends with you ex-boyfriend?

IMHO : he is very cute and mild temperament. physically : everything that I want from a Daddy e.g Salt and Pepper hair, pot belly, smooth, moustache. I wish no one else is going down the same path like me. It's hurting.. I never be able to moved on and find a new daddy as he is too long inside my mind. I found no one sexier and crazy attractive like him. I lived in a constant depression. It seems like this will never end.

u're not alone in this buddy,actually everyone been in a relationship suffers the same…. everyone has this special guy in his heart but life and people goes on so you must do. that's what i've learned lately

Yes.
You can be friends with an ex.
Sometimes.

Not every relationship ends with insurmountable baggage.
Sometimes things just don't work out and you're not both assholes, so yeah… you can be friends.
Other times.. there's too much baggage.

It's not alot different than divorce.
Sometimes the people can stay civil and be friends, and sometimes they want to shoot on sight.

I'm friends with my "former partner" (I don't like calling former partners "EXes"). We started off as friends, we were friends during our relationship and we're friends 2 years after our relationship ended.

I can only speak of my experience but I was open to friendship with him because I love the person he is, not because I wanted us to get back together. It takes time to transition, but we communicated and did everything out of love. I don't think I've ever wanted to get back with someone I've broken up. For me, when shits over, it's over. Why go back? Move on.

I'd say it depends on how bad the breakup was. However, the only two ex's I have, we don't really speak much. One, we were still friends but I haven't seen them in over a year, and I doubt we'll be hanging out anytime soon. My other ex, well, I'll never see him again. We talked for a bit, but there was distance between us and he ended up cutting all ties with me one day.

I don't know why the system doesn't allows me to quote you.. :hug:

I'm good friends with one of my exes, but that doesn't mean it isn't complicated. And it took a lot of work to stay friends.

If you once find out that your ex never respected you, you won't be able to befriends with him. That's my sad and real life experience… :cry2:

I am! ;D

I'd say you can definitely be friends with ex's. I am, with a couple anyways.
Would depend on why you broke up I guess, if the spark was just gone or any other similar consensual break-up happened then I don't see why not.
As long as it didn't end badly.
And as long as there is no emotional or sexual attraction between you anymore, cus that's just trouble right there.

2 of my former boyfriends are my friends (I broke up with them when they got married) but it's an amicable break up and n drama and I am even the godfather to their respective sons

Unless i'm your actual… it's pretty possible

Well my situation with my longest boyfriend is that we don't talk anymore. We kind of parted with peace, but he's still few hours drive away so it's not like we can go grab a beer or smth. To begin with we weren't even friends. We just started as boyfriends and developed the feeling between us. We don't share hobbies and we don't have a common language. It's something I think friends should share. We tried to be friends but it was more like a 'coming back' time.

On the other hand the guy I'm meeting with right now starts as friends. He has contact with some of his exes because they were friends at first and for him the end of relationship doesn't change that.

i agree if there is no more sexual interested or any emotions left yes why not to be friends with them!!! but if there is its just heartbreaking and drama you better off that

I've stayed on good terms with three of my ex's. Good friends with one, so much so that I was best man at his wedding.

It is perfectly possible to stay friends with an ex, providing the end of the 'love affair' period of the relationship ends without animosity and mutual respect.

It depends on the ex…some yes, some no; I think it depends on who may still want to be in a relationship and where the power is...if it is a mutual breakup...that's usually the most friendly

i had try but i cant

I think it's hard but not impossible. It's hard if we still one of us still has feelings for the other.

wajag

I cant because of his boyfriend who hates me

Well I have an ex that we are really REALLY good friends with. He is great as a friend and so am I. The thing is he is not toxic so I think that has to do with how it is not affecting us in any other way. It has to do with what kind of character you have and he has.

I dont think that is possible, I would be jealous, even if it was me who ended the relationship.
