Yes and No. I'm too jealous to let that happen on the other end. Bad things always seem to happen when it's going good or get worse when it's just going wrong. I think my husband doesn't like it, but is ok with it.


No not really. It's ok to be cordial, but not see them or have their number in my phone, unless they r stalking me. Let past people go


No way! There is a reason they are the EX!


Yeah. I'm not really friends with mine, but mostly by virtue of our lives just going in different directions.


Yes. My relationship is secure. I won. He married me. And my exs are ex for a reason. It didn't work out for us. That doesnt mean I don't care about them. We even have family get togethers w sum of my exs. Our kids are friends. Why shouldn't u be friends w an ex? If u cant handle yourself as their friend and keep them an ex.


no there a reason they are your ex and i wish i hadn't tried this myself. would have saved us 99% of my problems


I don't have exes! :D


NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO


Yes I think if you can be friends then it is fine. He would say NO.


If possible, yes.

it depends


No I don't think it's ok. If you have kids then yeah talk to them because of the kids otherwise there is absolutely no reason to be talking to your EX. My significant other thinks it is ok but only because he is too friendly. But he tries to avoid.


To an extent. As Long as your both on good terms and an understanding of being just friends. The past was the past. If she attempts to try somthin with me it's getting cut off. There was an old flame but that flame has long burned out and iknow I can control myself so can they to just be friends. One ex did cross that friendship boundary and she was cut off. I don't feel like foolishness.


It's ok as soon as they only talk and how serious they were


Being friends with your exes just doesnt sound like it would work. I would not be ok with it and I am confident that my wife would not be ok with it. I just think there is a reason they are your ex. You shouldnt live in the past nor bring the past into your current relationships. Trust me it never works to your benefit.
