Weasked, and you guys answered!
Below are the best responses to whether its wise or dangerous to stay friends with an ex.
Charlie Foster
1.Let me guessthe person who initiates the breakup is the one who wants the friendship.
Most of the time its because that person wants to keep you as 2nd-best option for the future.
Lets be clear about this: Acquaintance is okay but being friends with them is No.
Charlie Foster
Not a good one.
4.Friendship is about trust level.
I cant be friends with mine, TBH.
6.My ex and I have been separated for 5 years.
We have a 9-year-old son.
We are amicable and spend special occasions with the family.
We have joint custody and have never been to court.
I believe that in my circumstances, not everyones, we are friends.
We help each other out when times are tough in our lives.
Our son knows that we care for each other but thats it.
I always feel lucky to have this sort of relationship with my ex.
Theres millions of people out there…of all the people, why with your ex?
Not just because its awkward nor you hold grudges on him.
Just to be fair with yourself and your future partner.
you could never really be friends with your ex.
There will always be a motive if you did.
9.There are times that you realize in a relationship that you should never have moved beyond friendship.
I believe if both people are mature enough, a friendship is entirely possible beyond a relationship.
This is not hanging on in case.
This is not about an inability to let go.
This is simply about realizing you are better friends than lovers.
10.Yes, eventually but not right after the breakup.
Both of you should probably heal first.
Im pretty chill with most my exes.
12.Depends how you guys began and ended.
But generally you shouldnt.
I have an ex who was a friend before we got together.
We broke up and got back and broke up again.
Now were still really good friends.
If you didnt start out as friends its gonna be more difficult.
Also if he/she says lets be friends, RUN.
It should come naturally, not something you awkwardly say to have a go at not be awkward.
13.It depends on the situation and the people.
One of my exes is a really good friend of mine.
We dated 10 years ago and didnt talk for about two years after.
We had a lot of mutual friends in common and we had started out as really good friends.
Were still friends to this day.
15.After years of trying this out, no.
I wish them well.
Being cordial is great!
So, no texting to just check on me…not at all.
Eventually we should both be in new relationships where we check on our current partnersnot exes.
Besides, are our exes really ever truly happy for us when we move on?
I highly doubt it.
Most exes only keep in touch hoping that were miserable without them.
Remember why you broke up and keep a healthy distance.
Usually comes with more problems if you start dating someone else.
17.It depends if the breakup was mutual I think it is possible.
If it wasnt, I dont really think so.
18.If were friends, you didnt mean that much to me.
(Hope none of those guys see this lol).
19.It depends on how you end things and how long was your relationship.
For me, cutting all my connection is the way to go.
It helps you move on fast.
Being friends with him is difficult.
Its like you have a lot of things to control.
It wont help the both of you to move forward.
I realized, its not just about how he broke my heart.
No regrets, just love.
21.Im friends with all my exes.
I dont see the issue with it.
We are all in relationships and some are married.
But we are better as friends than in relationships.
We have grown up and we understand thats how life is.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Theres no reason to remain connected.
Leave the past, move on to the future.
23.No, no, no.
Red flag in my opinion.
But chit-chatting regularly, seeing each other and gift-giving is definitely not okay.
It will almost always cause issues in the next relationship, too.
That sort of situation will always ends up a becoming a deal-breaker for the next partner as well.
24.If its mutual, then its fine.
But it will never be the same.
You will never see that person in the same light as you did when you were just friends.
So most of the time it doesnt really work that well.
25.Depends on how the relationship ended.
If lies, mistrust, cheating, or deceit were involved, then no.
Who wants or needs a friend like that?
26.YES, YES, and yes!
and you cant imagine your life without that person.
No one gets it except us, though.
It does mean transparency with current partners and maintaining respectable distance, though.
it never works and there is always bitterness or jealousy.
When you have a new partner that person wont like that youre friends with your ex and its disrespectful.
29.Friendship after breakup is a complete fantasy.
31.Absolutely not, cordial and polite but not friends.
If it’s possible for you to be friendsthere is something emotionally missing.
Maybe in 10 years lol.
And really…once someone sees you naked?????
32.Depends on the situation.
33.If you share children, then yes.
If not, there isnt any good reason to remain friends.
In my experience, it just causes more problems in the next relationship.
There is a reason they are an ex, keep it that way.
34.I do stay friends.
Not with each, but with the ones that were good to me and still are.
With the ones that are grown men and act like it.
That person had my love, and they still do; just a different punch in.
Go waste someone elses time.
35.If its a newly ended relationship, no.
Time will heal all wounds, as they say.
