I maintain friendship with a handful of exes...Nothing close...more professional contacts...
If her exes were good people and treated her how she ought to have been treated, they are always welcome as friends...

Sometimes you HAVE to be (ie., shared children). But we have learned that being friends with exes just for the sake of remaining in contact - BAD idea.
i think its ok depending on the situation usually if you were never friends to begin with its probably not a good thing. hm i dont know he probably thinks its fine
yes as long as it is just friends anything else unacceptable. but if there is still unresolved wants, issues, desires, then why call them an ex? hell why even have moved on to the next? My gf feels its okay for her to still be "friends" with her ex, but not for me
I think it depends on the situation but i do think that two exes can be friends with no problems
I have tried to be friend with my exes but it is very difficult, one will always remember the good and the bad moments. It will never be a neutral friendship again.
Yeah its OK, but I don't like messing with dogs that are known to have fleas. Better to keep it moving.
No. Not for me.
I used to think it was ok, am starting to think it just complicates things and allows doubts of trust to tear at the foundation of what you are working on for your future.
It's all case by case, but I haven't been before.
It really does depends of the ex, i'm a confident girl, but i know he'll not like it at all
I think it depends on the ex and the relationship you had with them. It's easier to remain friends with exes you were never physically involved with but once you've had sex, there can no longer be a friendship after the relationship. My boyfriend doesn't seem to like my friendships with exes but my boyfriend doesn't get as upset as I do about his exes
Yes.. He's a little jealous, but I think he's learned to deal with it :)
I really don't know anymore @_@
And she's against it, lol <3

Well I believe it's okay to have nothing against your exes and treat them civilly, but I see no reason to be "friends" and do things with them or hang out or tell them things. Either be with them or be with me. I think my Dear Hubby feels the same or close-ish anyway.
