    I don't wanna be friends with them anymore for the fact that it's over between us... For some I know they remain good friends after break-up but then after awhile begs for another chance if they could still save the relationship and I hate that. That's why I don't want to be friend of my Ex's.

    hurrah! i feel the same!
    I'm only friends with the odd ex that i wonder why I ever even fancied..
    I refuse to be friends with a certain ex because of how much he hurt me, and how easily he could pursuade me back into bed..

    Unless you have kids, dogs or a mortgage together I don't see a real need for a connection to them. But I could be wrong.

    I'm friends with a lot of my exes. Hooray for Facebook.

    I maintain crushes on practically all of my exes, even if I'm the one who broke up with them. Not sure why.

    I'm pretty much best friends with one of my ex's. We were both on the rebound from bad break up's and drinking heavily when we met. We realized after a little while that we were much better as friends than as a couple.

    Nope. I was cheated on by one, and stoppped talking to them at that point. Another one was crazy. The other one lives far away, but I still wouldn't if they were close.

    well think about it, your ex's shared a deep connection with you when you all dated. so why give that up just because you broke up as long as it wasnt a nasty one. its hard to find people so close to you and trust them so when you have one, its nice to still have them,,,just in a different way

    I tend to be civil toward my exes. Not friendly, necessarily, but civil certainly. I know people who hate their exes, and I know people who are best friends with theirs. So I suppose it really does depend on the individual.

    I'm still the very best of friends with an ex. We were friends first and foremost. I'll always be there for him when he needs me and I know that he'll always be there for me. I don't see any reason to give that up just because our relationship didn't work out.

    my boyfriend and i have broken up a lot. we try really hard, but it doesnt seem like we should have to be trying to hard for it to work. whenever we break up we are best friends and i know that if we ever break it off completly.. we'll be friends, just because weve been apart of each others lives and the bond we have underneath it all cant be taken from us

    My ex-husband and I had 18 years of marriage and two children together, so it's pretty hard not to continue with some kind of relationship. We're civil to each other and we don't bad-mouth each other to the kids. He adores them, and they him, so I'm grateful for that.

    He's a good man ... he just had a fatal character flaw.

    I am friends with my ex and her partner. We were married for seven years (no kids). She left me for him and went on a wild fling. I flipped out and it took me a while to get over it.

    Then I met someone new. When my ex found out I found someone new, she asked for forgiveness and if we could get back together. I told her it was too late because I got my new partner pregnant.

    I've been with my partner for 27 years and we raised 2 boys - both men now.

    My ex cheated on me twice. And lied to me quite a bit. I really liked her we were best friends but I see no reason to talk to someone if you can't trust a word they say.

    exactly why i hate the fact my boyfriend still talks to most of his exes.i find it hard to believe that someone can have sex with someone everyday and be madly in love with them and then EVER EVER EVER have a strictly platonic relationsihp. it makes no sense to me.
