Why do people do it?..Is it just to be nice?..is it in hopes that the spark you lost for each other will come back?..Orrrrrrr maybe just sheer boredem..lol. I talk to an ex every now and then but I swear everytime leaves me wondering.."Why the hell do you put yourself through that?"..lol.I have yet to come up with an answer.

I talk to my ex husband- he is a very nice guy- very different now- but we have both grown up and moved on and there isn't anything between us now- we are just friends.

I like talking to him now - he is nicer, more humble. I don't want him back!!! EWWWW!- that ship sailed but I enjoy our occasional chats!

I'm friends with my ex husband and several ex boyfriends. Doesn't mean there is a spark still there, I would just rather get along than carry drama.

see if you had duct tape, you could just wrap them up instead of carrying their drama

Not me

i'm friends with lots of my exes. there was obviously something about them that appealed to me. just because we couldn't work as a relationship, that doesn't mean we can't be best buds.

I think some people can be friends instead of having a relationship, I actually have a couple of guys like that. We just couldn't make it as a couple but we are really good friends..sound strange? I guess it just depends on what level your relationship went to!

Because she did have a place in my heart at one time in my fuped life

I still talk to my first ex. He's married and moved on with his life, so I'm okay with that. My second ex, I don't talk to him much. But I better come up with some kind of conversation if he's going to be in my sister's wedding.

You grow from your relationship and although there is alot of water under the bridge, one does not have to be hostile or angry.

Once you are living separate lives there is nothing to be angry about anymore. So you can then wish each other the best and even conversate on occasion about each others lives. You both do know each other pretty well.

I am friends with all but the physical abusor. Not close friends but we can talk and even spend time together without problems.

I believe a relationship can end on good terms as long as both people are honest

I think it depends how long you've been broken up and what was the reason for the break up. If the break up was mutual, then it's not that hard. Just because you break up with someone, doesn't mean they can't be friends. It's better to be friendly than enemies IMO.

I am still talking to all five of my exes. They are less than friends now, and we have no business to discuss -- having been childless -- but we do talk, get together for the occasional drink, and the gruppensex. NO. 4. gives me a kiss after the session, and No. 2 never says no. No. 5 is a B*9ch, she always takes it out on No. 1 if I don't linger "in" her long enough.

After a long and tumultuous divorce with each we are all happy that the past and our marriages are waaaay behind us. We don't want each other back, EEWWWWWW! not even one of us.

I"m friends with mine we shared a lot together over the 10years we were dating a living together so we still talk maybe once a month twice a month they even had me down visiting them more then once its fun that we all can stay friends u can't have too many of them

I am still friends with my now ex-husband. We have two children together. I would much rather be friends than with fight and argue him all the time. I think you can be friends with an ex, you just need to remember why they became and ex in the first place. I think it's easier to be friends with an ex when you have already moved on with your life.

Sorry can't type tonight...

I can be friends with almost anyone, like previously stated depends on the reason for the break up, whether I could and would become friends with an ex.

They started as friends for the most part, sometimes the friendship was better than the relationship...no reason to kill both birds with the one stone in that situation I don't think.

while this might be a personal opinion i feel like guys cant be friends with an ex. i mean really. guys.....look at it from an objective point of view.. deep down u still want something from her. be it sex or just the closeness that u once shared. u still want something. face it. u were attracted to her beyond the point of friendship. once past that point there is no going back. not that there is anything wrong with that. lets face it....if an ex called me up and needed help i would be the first one there. but that has NOTHING to do with friendship. i would do that for a stranger just as quick as for an ex. but then again it may be a personal opinion.
just figured i would weigh in my two cents.

I don't see having contact with and Ex. With so many people in the world it isn't that hard to do with out someone who you have broken up with.
