Sorry to disagree with you Harvey. But when you say "YOU" cant be friends with an ex, you mean "I" as in "I Harvey" cant be friends with my latest ex.

I CAN AND I AM friends with an ex, he's really one of if not The my best friend, in all honesty.
So it can be done.
Sometimes.

Then tell her nicely to bugger off nicely while you parade a new bit of staff down the street, pinching her arse as your ex walks behind! lol

Ex - no way, you cant be friends.


your sooooo wrong ......... obviously you both have to be over it and not just holding out to get back together, if that's the case then yes i would agree stay away, just means prolonging the agony.

I guess it depends how much love is still there.

I love her intensly but couldnt be her friend a sit would drive me crackers.
So yeah I agree rocket, you are right - it can work in some instances - but definately not my latest ex.

Yeah its funny that word love isnt it?
I do love my ex very much. Just dont want him to be my hubby anymore and there is no doubt he would say the same about me being his wife! But i know he loves me too. The kind of love I am talking about is obviously not the kind you would expect to find on flirtbox! Laughing

Its easy to answer yes or no and the answer is always no in my case. I can't handle it when they inevitably find someone else!

Forgive me my pedanticness (and is that even a word?) but this makes no sense whatsoever.

What do you mean by this? Is your ego so big that you cannot accept when 'they' prefer someone else to you?
You yourself obviously find someone else you prefer to 'them' as you dont say "she" (or "he") else there would only be one ex, not be "they".Unless of course 'they' was meant like the royal 'we' and you have only ever had one partner and cannot and will not move on from that?
So, You are in a relationship, it doesnt work out, you yourself meet someone new, but you cant handle it when the ex meets someone new, hence you cant stay friends, but you are not so smitten and hooked on the ex that it stopped you from meeting someone new yourself.....nope, no matter how I view this it seems to me its your ego that cant handle it.
Razz
If I am wrong, please tell me what you cant handle?
Its like HArvey, he puzzled me too, he said he was still madly in love with his ex, and yet he found it easy enough to launch himself into a new situation (meeting her parents and all and talks of walking down the street pinching a girl's bum, good grief if I was madly in love with someone whether with them or not I could not throw my affections at someone else, thats just a foolish pretence.

Indeed, its no good trying to move on and use someone else as leverage when you are still in love with your 'ex'. That's a hard lesson for all parties. As for being friends, I'll leave that debate to everyone else.

I believe that whether you remain friends with an ex is influenced by many factors such as - how the relationship ended, how long you were together, whether or not you lived together, whether you share the same circle of friends and so much more.


I think that it is best to try keep on civil terms at least with your exes, unless they did something unforgiveable.

I consider most of my exes good mates, in fact my current best mate is my ex xD

Why not but don't talk about who you are dating at the moment. - at least not until you are at the point where you are completely comfortable as friends.
