  • How is it possible that remaining friends with an ex is not going to be a road block for a new relationship
    It definitely will so what is more important to you people minimizing the drama in your current romantic life or hanging onto something that ended for a good reason

    It depends lots of people are good friends beforehand but it mostly depends on the break up if the break up was bad theres useually not much of a chance of staying friends after also the reason they broke up in the first place is a big part of it all..

    I'm sure that does happen, but there can be many other reasons too. They could have been good friends beforehand or they want to see each other fail?

    I don't think so because if both ex's do that, wouldn't they all just be back together again? I went with the 3rd option.

    Maybe every now and then, but that would signify a person that could quite possibly be indecisive and manipulative and the ex is best off just remembering why they broke up in the first place.

    I'm friends with a few of my exes still. It may not have worked romantically but our friendship is still good.

        • That makes perfect sense usually it's women who remain friends with their exes and strain there current relationships truth is every person you have ever been involved with takes a piece of your heart with them and if you remove them from your life your removing a peace of who you are but why not think of current and future partners you must be certain that being friends with your ex's will only create conflict and god help you if you expect them to be friends

            I did not say that I am friends with ALL of my exes. Only a few. We were originally friends, we tried dating, it didn't work out. Period. It's not as if we spend much time with eachother at all actually. We're on good terms.

            • Ok you said earlier that your friendship is still good now your saying your on good terms. These are far from the same thing I am on good terms with my accountant and many other people that I do not have a friendship with so which is it like would u go
              Out to eat with them? Would you go to there house and hang out? Or are u just friendly with them? Also please don't tell me you've introduced them to current BFs and tried to get them to hit it off.
