How many of you are still friends with an ex

Although I’m in another relationship now, my ex has become my best friend and is a close and very supportive friend of my new girl friend. It couldn’t have worked out better for all of us. I’m pleased with myself for playing my part in making it work. 🙂

Rarely! I think in 21 years I may speak with two still one is friendly and wishes me happy birthday as I do her. The other is married and distant but still friendly. The rest... Well you can't please em all 😐

@2cool4school Exactly, you can’t please them all, although you’ve done better than most staying friendly with two. My ex and I play on here a lot with sexy banters and name calling when she gives me the shits, which is most of the time, but I still love her 😝

@VodkaBec that's pretty good. I've kept SW to myself. As far as I know 😳

My experience is... varied. At the very least I can be happy in the knowledge that it was never my fault that we couldn't stay friends when that happened.

@RoboChloe A lot of the time it’s neither persons fault, it can just be that people are not compatible. Unfortunately you often have to be in a relationship to find that out, but it is nice to part on good terms.
Me with them all... I know how to turn abad relationship to a good friendship..

@Soossie Good for you, I believe it says a lot of positive things about a person. 👍
@VodkaBec I became a very good friend to my ex husband's girlfriend... thank you..
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Soossie Open minded maturity, we could all do with some of that.

I'm still friends with my ex gf.We broke up on good terms too,which is always nice.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@nate2244 Agreed, life is to short to be weighed down by grudges.

I was never able to do that...probably because I picked idiots to be with

I'm friends with everyone.

I have remained friends with ex's in the past but I'm no longer in touch with any.

Your particular situation sounds as though it has the potential to cause jealousy and trust issues. If it works, though, that's great.

A girl that's still friends with her ex counts as a red flag to me.

@VodkaBec It opens the door for foolish behaviour. I would rather not have my exes around, and prefer a woman that feels the same.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@SW-User Well that’s a bit hard to do when we’re all a part of the same group of close friends.

@VodkaBec Sure. That's why dating friends is my number 1 no no.

I wouldn’t mind. I don’t have any RL friends.
