Are you friends with any exes?

[W.T.Faulkner]

Brought to you by the fact that BF is getting coffee with an ex who's in town tonight and asked to see him.  He ran it by me 30 times and I encouraged it, since they've known each other forever and it might be a nice time.  (They didn't date very long, and they were friends in high school, so I'm not trying to be breeeeeeezy!).

My best friend on earth is my on/off boyfriend from high school and the early part of college.   He's the only one I'm in regular contact with; there are others that I'm friendly with and happy when I run into, but we're not really "friends."

[snipsnsnails]

At this stage they've sort of all devolved into acquaintances. But there's only one that I'm truly on bad terms with-which considering how crazy I was is a miracle.

[underwaterrhymes]

I'm friends with several people I've slept with.

I only dated one guy seriously besides H (and only for six weeks). I'm not friends with him.

[melindafelinda]

I'm Facebook friends with one or two of them. And my exH is a minor stalker. But no more than that.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm FB friends with two of them, and actually they were the two really serious BFs I had before DH.

[birdistheword]

Yes. I'm on good terms with pretty much everyone I've dated. Most are more like acquaintances now, but there is one I would still consider a good friend.

[lilybug]

I'm still very good friends with an ex from college. I met him for coffee multiple times while I was married. XH hated it, but I think it would be ridiculous to lose a good friendship because he's paranoid. He wasn't friends with any of his exes, because all of his exes hated him. (warning sign #46,982...)

[sonrisa]

I'm not in touch with any exes. I am friends with one of DH's though.

[rupertpenny]

Only FB friends. I actually kind of wish I was actually friends with my college BF, he was a shitty BF but an awesome friend.

[luckyval]

Mmm, I'm FB friends with a few, but not like really good friends with any. I've emailed back and forth to catch up with one and I would be up for meeting him for coffee.

[shoeless]

I'm sure my HS sweetheart and I could have actually maintained a friendship (we dated knowing it wouldn't last, he was a genuinely nice guy) but we never kept in touch after he became engaged.

[walterismydog]

Yeah. I'm like BFF with my ex (not the recent one but Alexander). We share custody of Walter and hang out at least nice a week and go fishing together. He's seriously my best friend, we just didn't work out at all as a couple. And that's ok.

N liked that we were friends and never made it weird. I always tell new guys I'm dating about it and if that freaks them out then I'm obviously not the right girl for them.

XH and I are not friends but we aren't enemies. I'm still very close with his family and see them every time I go to Texas.

[Deleted]

I have one who is on FB. We've always made better friends.

And one I always text football stuff who is up in Chicago. I've known him for like, 10+ years (we knew eachother online first, met, dated long distance..didn't work out).

[lexxasaurus]

My first serious ex and I are friendly acquaintances. We still keep in touch and when she comes to town we meet up and have lunch. Other than that I don't really have contact with any of them cause they were crummy relationships.

[thedude]

I'm FB friends with a few, but we don't seek each other out or anything

[Deleted]

I'm FB friends with some past hookups. But not really friends with any of them or any exes. I moved away to go to undergrad and I've made two huge moves since then which is part of it. And honestly, I didn't always surround myself with the healthiest people when I was younger, so the boyfriends I had before and during HS are probably not people I'd want in my life now. And the guy I dated in college before DH turned out to be a cheater and in general a shitty person, so I have zero desire to be friends with him.

[Deleted]

Yes, still very good friends with two of them in fact. My H has no problem with my friendships with either, in fact, he and my HS love are friends now, too. We spend quite a bit of time socially with him and his family.

[eb777888]

Newp! Honestly, just not interested at all.

[azurely]

Nope, not even FB friends.

I think it could work for some people, but I wasn't a casual dater, so my only two exes are both from more serious relationships. My high school bf was (is?) a dbag so I have no interest in being his friend. My college bf and I were good friends for a while after we broke up, but once I started dating H, our friendship fizzled out.

lol! Me too.

[game blouses]

Just FB friends with a few of them. The most serious one is still in my group of friends, and he and DH get along better than he and I do.

[sergey]

Nope but the only serious ex I have is from HS. He tried to friend me on FB a while ago but I have absolutely no interest.

[hankmoody]

Yeah, I have several on facebook, and one's dad is the mayor of my city (not a small place either, lol).

Also, my DH used to hang out and golf with the guy I dated before him. We are all cool with each other, but his wife hates me, oops

[marylennox]

No, I'm not friends with any of my exes. Neither is h.

We were both jealous when we first started getting serious. Real mature, I know. We decided that we were both more comfortable if neither of us were friendly with exes. If we met today neither of us would care, but it's not like we are going to go out of our way contact them now lol.

We have spent time with each other's exes and gotten along, actually. But we don't keep in touch or anything.

[wrathofkuus]

Nope, I have a kind of scorched earth breakup policy, or at least I did fifteen years ago.

[themoneytree]

I'm friends with a lot of my exes - not BFF's or anything, but Facebook friends and very occasional lunches or drinks. I like pictures of their babies and vacations and they like ours.
Most of my exes are good people and most are doing amazingly well. I'm really happy for them and wish them all the best.

[CurlyQ284]

Nope. One was a psycho. The other I wouldn't mind being friends with but I can't because of complications (not DH related, he wouldn't care)

[runforrest]

Nope. But that might be because I dated assholes before I met my H.

[Chib]

I'm friendly with my ex-fiance but I keep him at distance we're not FB friends but we occasionally call and text to catch up.

[Deleted]

Only one.

And he lives in Hawaii, so I never see him.
