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.
from personal experience NO!!! I had an ex boyfriend who i tried to become freinds with months after the breakup and it was a disater...there was too much history. It was even more complicated because he had dated one of best friends after we split up!!! Trying to rebuild a friendship with her as well as one with my ex boyfriend caused more drama and stress in my life and in thiers than if we would have all just let things be. She became jelous and insecure, he didnt want to let go of the past and i was stuck in the middle and blamed for thier relationship problems! I knew that in order for him to move on...i needed to not be involved in his life. After cutting ties with both of them i moved across the province but they stilled harrassed me with emails and went out of thier way to contact me...i had to delete my facebook, block them from my email, and after they couldnt get a response form me they had others bother me or they would add people i know in an attempt to interere with my life. I am still struggling to get him out of my life and i have no one to blame but myslef for it...my relationship with my new partner has not suffered because i have been honest with himj about my past...but my ex still tries to add him and our friends in attempt to sabatage what i have. Never do what i do...Big lesson learned!
YES! as lonq as you aren't still in love or anythinq
WHY NOT stay friends? IF you weren't friends before you dated, THAT IS WHY they are an EX NOW! Could JUST be JEALOUS?! Did you date JUST to get them (Him/Her) for sex or for a RELATIONSHIP. NO WONDER so many people are so Screwed UP. USE and Abuse and then CRY because it backfired on you. There are about 10 Million girls/women who grew up WITHOUT FATHERS /Paternal Affection and then they TRY to find it in an older guy, who sometimes has an Ulterior motive-Use, Abuse, Molest, Rape 'Fatherless' kids-77% DENIED Visitation =63% of YOUTH SUICIDES =75% of Mental institution patients 1990==2 suspected Million Suicide cases =70% of TEEN pregnancies =71% of High School Dropouts =75% of DRUG/Alcohol treatment patients Where are the FATHERS? RUN OFF by Custodial mothers IGNORED by useless 'Family' court judges =77% DENIED VISITATION AFTER DIVORCE I was DENIED 80% of OUR VISITATION. I'm $ 77,449 OVERPAID on Child Support. I fought the Communist-Puke courts to the point of being JAILED 3 times to PROTECT OUR VISITATION RIGHTS. The courts VIOLATED 10 FEDERAL LAWS, 5 CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, 2 Title 42 USCS 671 and 667.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! And I have a good reason too. When my husband and I first met it was like right after he broke up with his ex of like 4yrs. Any way she did something, he broke up with her. And she still tried staying in contact with him, calling him, texting, even writing him email's about how she wants to have his babies (she is psycho!!!) And he still talked to her until i finally got fed up with it because we were dating and asked him not to talk to her. Well he said ok. But still did talk to her and wouldn't tell her we were dating. Because of her constantly trying to talk to him and hang out with him and him lying to me it hurt me so much. Which later on created a lot of arguments. Only reason we ever argued was because of her. Finally that psycho is out of our lives, took her like two years. She even emailed him after we were married (she knew we got married too) telling him how much she misses him and had a dream about my husband. Any way ex's only create problems. Seems like one of the ex's will want to get back. If you are dating someone why would you ever need an ex? Any way that's it. lol
i dont know. for me, its okay to have a far-off "friendly" friendship with your ex...in such a way where u only say "hi" and "goodbye" to eachother or maybe even just a knod of the head... lets face it...he is out of your life..keep him there. your new man wont appreciate it, if you are friends with ur ex
I have still been friends with my ex even though i've met a new Man , my ex is my first love, my new man understands it! it's not like we are having sexual relations, just friends!!.
It definitely depends on the situation, unfortunately more times than not one person still has feelings, and quite often it is the woman. i think we all know how coniving and vindictive women can be, and when a woman wants something she will stop at nothing to get it. so i would definitely think twice
I think any time a person want to remain friends with their X-lover it is because they still have feelings for this person and they are hoping that one day their X will hook up again. I mean really why stay friends with your X, if you could not make it in a relationship what make one think that they can make it work as friends?
My ex and I are friends and for the most part we are trying to remain that way, but his new wife feels I need to go away forever, she fails to understand we have children together and will ALWAYS be in each others lives, she has told me in front of my children that I shoudl kill myself and make her life easier, I simply told her " if my presence in life bothers you then I will remain alive, just so your life is hell" My ex told her if she ever said anything like that again she would find herself on the other end of a divorce court. Do YES exes can be friends
If you still have feeling for this person, i would definately say NO, because when they already moved on and start talking about their new gurl/boy.. wow that sometime hurt like Period cramps lol...but if yall was jus friends with benefit...shoooot yall even be bestfriends :)
Well, it depends on the motive. If one of you possibly has hopes of reuniting then no. Sometimes circumstances which involve ex's require some relation because you still have to see one another (ex. children, on the job, business/investment etc.) If you are still communication or seeing your ex for what ever the case may be, then whoever you are currently with should be aware of it; furthermore, there opinion should also be taken into consideration.
Well, it depends on the situation to be friends wit an ex while in a new relationship. In my case its real difficult to be friends with an ex, especially if you didnt start as just friends. That usually causes grudges and such. I think its ok. but its a little too over the top if you're kissing and cuddling and your ex is in your crew.
There nothing wrong with being friends with your ex. It depends on the situation. If your in relationship with someone and you have feelings for your ex still. Then thats a NO no.
why would you wanna stay friends with your ex? they are an ex for a reason. people don't know how to break ties, and for girls who wanna stay "friends" that's total b.s. they want the attention from their currents to be just that, attention, of course they gonna b jealous and that's all girls want to know is if they man is jealous all the time, but god forbid if their ole man wanna sta friends with their ex, now that's a whooole other can of worms.
I think remaining friends with your ex may have it's advantages and disadvantages. it can be advantageaous because you both agree to let no hard feelings and negative emotion stand between you then its less strain on future hookups. There are cases where a jelous ex can make a point that when they said you're mine and we'll always be together they meant it. Speaking from experience, the guy I dated seemed okay with the seperation, until I found out that his family was staking out my every-which-where-abouts on the sneak tip. I guess it all has to do with insecurities/securities, vulernability/desperation, self-respect. Just know what your getting into if you can handle your ex doing the things that ya'll used to do together.
