You loved your ex and you were with them for awhile. And it's natural to want to keep tabs on them or turn to them for advice and support. But what about when you're in a new relationship? Is it okay to still have your ex in your life -- or is there no room once you're with someone new? Check out what these New Yorkers had to say.
you can't stay friends with every ex-but there are exceptions-if the new boyfriend can't handle it, then there would be other issues later on, anyways
I don't think having an ex be your friend after a break up is the best idea i had a ex that wanted to be friends when we split and my new boy friend was a bit on the scared side. But he ended up wanting to be more than just frineds when we all went out as a group he would always tell my new BF lies about me and him and different things like that so in my experience having an ex be your friend is NOT a good idea.
You can be friends with an ex if you have a new relationship if you are very clear to everyone what is going on. For example, tell your ex what is what and that you two are friends and friends alone. Tell your new bf/gf that you are friends with your ex. Offer to get everyone together so everyone knows that there will be no sneeking around and everything is out in the open. And I don't think it is wise to hang out with an ex without your current bf/gf around... it leaves too much room for minds to play tricks! Some people think if your new bf/gf trusts them it shouldn't be a problem but everyone is different and sometimes you have to MAKE your new bf/gf comfortable don't just expect the trust between you to be enough.
If you had clean breakup without many tears and everyone has moved on, then sure its ok to stay friends with your ex. If the breakup was messy and one of you was crying a lot then maybe it wouldnt be such a good idea to stay friends. Jealousy might arise and maybe some future anger issues. However if you are able to maintain a decent friendship with your ex I think that says a lot about you as a persona dnyour maturity level since you know how to keep storng and maintain your past while still looking forward to your future!
it depends on the person, for me, i cant really be friends with my ex's. they tend to have angered me in some way through the break up, but i have had 1 ex that i'm still friends with.
yea u can still be friends or really good best friends after the break up i no iv done it and im in a new relationship and its goin ok we still talk 1 or 2 times a week and its cool so i dont think their is any thing worng with that.
You can be friend with anyone if it is truly what you want to do. The ex does not control the way you feel. If you have been with the person for awhile, you would be the best person to help them out with their new relationship. This is only if you have truly moved on from the old relationship. This person will become your best friend and could be the bond to really teaching you how to be a friend to someone. It does not make sense to shut someone out of your life that you have grown with through the years. We must not hold on to the past but deal with the future. We as women hold on to the past too much. We should be the strong mature woman that we were placed on this earth to be. If you know that the ex is truly not willing to be your friend then of course you must move on to a certain extent. There is nothing wrong with you however being the friend that you should be with someone.
hi tyra, sorry to say but no i dont think its right to stay in touch as friends with your EX as soon as you start a new relationship i think thats really absurd and disrespectful if you left your ex behind its gotta be cuz of something so if hes already behind leave him there go on with your life just like they say if you start out as friends go on as a couple youll end up as nothing well if you were something end up up as nothing but still comunicate as if there still is something youll end up with nothing!!!!
hi tyra..the answer to the question is yes/no. yes if it was nothing too serious..no if you were in love with the person because feelings can always flare back up..
um hi tyra, and to answer the question. no I do not think that anyone should keep there ex around if they are in a new relationship. I should know I am going thru this now. my boyfriend be on the phone with his ex sugar coding words. meaning she would ask do you still love me. he would respond um I don't know maybe. are would you still have relations with me and he would say if you want and if she say when and he say ima see and repeats it more than three times they more than just ex partners. I wish there was a way for me to give him a lie detector test. so no no no no its not cool for your mate and their ex to be buddies especially if there is no kids involved
my ex and I have remained friends for 16 years and he build a room for me in his basement so that I can come visit my son whenever I want to. We go on vacations together with my son and his wife. We are best friends. I do their laundry and clean their house when I stay there. My son loves that we all get along.
There aint nuttin wrong wit stayin cool wit ure ex's but as soon as there is sum1 new it become a problem because ure new boyfriend starts to feel like u still have feeling for that one person when u no longer see them in that way..but to guys its okay when they are still cool wit girls they have been wit and have a new girl and expect us to be cool wit it..so it really depend how much ya trust each other and how that person is
i thnk it is better wen u stay friends,...my ex & i still talk even we i was with dis guy,... they are even friends & wen i would hav problems with da guy i was with,..i would tell my ex ,..............................
not at all!
Sure, Why not? You two can remain cool you just to have to talk about your new partner. (and certainly DON'T compare your ex with your current boyfriend)
