Im friends with most if not all my exes.. Some more than others... It takes time and forgiveness to become friends again.
A mi no me encanta la idea por que mi pareja las trata igual que si fueran amigas y lo malinterpretan t hasta ahorita no soy amiga de un ex
It's not ok.
Depends on the ex and the history!!! Done folks on our past should be gone and forgotten ! Respect first!!!!
Hmmmm, mostly not keep in touch anymore. But I don't think it will be problem, since we (me n my exes) ending the relationship properly...
Yes. They can be. But not as close friend

As long as there is no feelings and drama free it's ok but it took a long time to get me to think like that and it's down to i trust my lady
I think it depends on the level of respect that X has for your current partner. Also the comfort level you have. Boils down to trust. My advice, if it hampers your relationship, ditch it. (Unless your relationship isn't worth it that is)
Agreed

Of course I do! There aren't that many, but we have maintained relationships because we like each other. My partner does the same, maybe not will of his, he has a few more than me! I think it indicates something positive about a person when they can maintain a relationship with an ex - it means that neither of them became axe murders as a result of a bad relationship with each other!
I think it's improper and I just let it run it's course. My wife always keeps them close and she doesnt get that it makes me uncomfortable
It makes me uncomfortable that my bf is still friends with his ex-gf.
No
I always thought yes until I could see how much it was hurting the new people in our lives
I think yes, although its not a quality in a relationship I would want. Many people have been in love with many people and if they need to hold on they should. In other words if the person was a great person hold on to them
I do think it's ok... depending on the person and the history. If they spend their time trying to get back with you, the friendship isn't there, and they should be gone.
For some people it's okay as long as everyone is comfortable and there are no lingering emotions. As for my hubby & me...there are no worries b/c we want NOTHING to do w our exes! :P
