hey guys! boredom is gettin to me so i decided to post a new topic...about staying friends with an ex. do you think its possible? are thier limitations on this friendship? do they last? do they get back together? or is it just prolonging the "healing process" of ending one relationship before begianing another?

[Alan Alpha]

it depends why they are ur ex

my ex cheated on me and lost her v card to a random guy
im still a virgin (as u know from ur other thread) so that hurt alot so i havent spoken to her since

lets say ending your relationship was a mutual agreement between both of you-even though the feelings were still there for both people. do you think its a good idea to still be friends then?

[JD]

As Alan said, it does depend on the circumstance, but all in all its fine to stay with friends. I was friends for a while with one of my ex's and then after we broke up things were tense and awkward for a while, but we realized there was no point in wasting a good friendship.

it is possible to stay friends after that sort of ending u may end up as quite close friends and in time u never know u could get back together

[Beautiful Disaster]

im still friends with the only guy i ever fell in love with....we were high school sweethearts and i;ve known him for 5 years...we broke up do to circumstances beyond our control and have remained really good friends since. i find that alot of guys i meet have a problem with this though.

Probably not a good idea especially if
A: the former connection was a really strong one
B: you are in a new healthy relationship that you enjoy and want to keep

Those old flames are quite easy to be rekindled/reignited...

[Alan Alpha]

if they have a problem with it its there problem not urs i personaly wouldnt have a problem with it
but like jd said no point wasting a good friendship if its there

for a select few it works, not for me. Time to move on. Funny though, still have had sex with the exs. when IM not seeing anyone.

true alan....

i think as long as you both have mutual respect and understanding of boundaries when one of you are in a relationship there is no sense in letting a great friend go-they are hard to come by lol

and jason....

i agree it works for some-not all

the sex thing- still carry my v-card so there's no problem with that lol
