With as little contact as possible. Have to be civil as she is the kids mom.

I still talk to most of my exs but i keep my distance. I restrict the contact to only only or text message... that way is easy to maintain certain level of friendship. Also, common sense always helps... never talk to them about your current couple or other ex, never ask for date advice and so on.

so does that mean that you still have feelings for your ex?

as one said in facebook

"if the ex lovers were remained as friends , there are two things possible . you are still inlove or you never really been inlove"

I'm sorta "meh...wahtever" about the whole contact with the ex thing too.

of course I am terrible about keeping in touch anyway - ask my sister, cousins, aunts and old college & HS friends...I am sure all would agree

so to devote effort into maintaining contact with someone who I chose not to have in my life? probably not gonna happen. incidental brief contact is fine. I don't have a problem if we happen to see each other to talk for a bit

Sometimes, turning away from 20 years of your history and life just because things aren't working out the same anymore doesn't work.

I only talk to a couple of ex's. Most of the time we decide to walk our separate ways like we're leaving a crime scene.

The girls I still talk to I dated years ago and it doesn't really matter anymore that we dated. One even dates my best friend.

Growing up and adult stuff.

I wouldn't say I'm "friends" with any former lovers, but there are a few I see form time to time and I'm friendly with. I wouldn't cross the street to avoid any of them.

As for how I do it, it's simple. We broke up for a reason, I remember it. That doesn't make her a bad person, just not the right person for me.

By admitting that true love never dies. It is like a fire that can burn out if not tended properly.

Yes, I am friends with my exes with the exception of the abuser.

Well, I try to be dignified about it. I might have put up with all sorts of crap when I was with them but I don't need to do that if I'm not in a relationship with them anymore.

My ex and I became better friends after we were divorced than we ever were when we were married.

no it doesnt mean that

it just means that you still care
about each other as friends
and nothing goes over the boundaries

i have a old bf
that im still friends with when i was younger
and he is married and im also friends with his wife

when they had no place to go
i let them stay with me for a brief
we both know nothing is going to be ever be
