    I'm friends with about half of my exes. It basically depends on how we felt about each other at the time our relationship ended.

    I'm friends or on talking terms with every single one of my exes. There 3 or 4 who I actually hangout with regularly, and most of the times with their boyfriends. I don't mind it at all. I don't see any reason for hating someone or to stop communicating with someone who you apparently, hopefully, had a strong connection with in the beginning.

    Hell no. Forget that noise. When gals do me dirty, I want nothing to do with them. I don't go out of my way to be mean or something, but we are NOT gonna be friends once its over. I also have a general rule that I don't date friends, so it's not as though we would ever see each other again.

    I've stayed in contact with two of my ex's, but my second boyfriend I haven't talked to since we broke up. When it comes to staying in touch, it honestly depends on how intense and deep the bond was, as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm not, some because I've moved from time to time, others because we fell out big time. Interestingly enough I have found out what happened to two of them because they have personal websites.

    Im only still friends with one of my x's and thats cause when we first got together it was like years ago and there was no true emotional attachment and i can message him and be like "hey chasey poo" and he can be like "hey jazzy love" or something and it means nothing but being sillyyy. :)

    Unless you plan on being with that person again I see it as a bad idea. In certain circumstances it probably works out remaining friends, but it has great potential to get complicated.

    Being polite is appropriate and should be done. No reason to be mean to an ex.

    However, out of respect to my wife, I would never carry on a relationship with an ex. Even if she said that she was OK with it, there would be some feelings of jealousy and I never want to do that to her. I see it as a respect thing. Likewise, I do not want her to be in contact with any ex as my feelings are at stake.

    You may say get over it, or grow up, but this approach is just being honest with our feelings.
