Have you ever tried to rekindle a friendship with an ex?

I'm just curious.
I know many will say that it's a waste of time but I do wonder why we are often so cut throat.
If substantial time has passed and you are decent people accepting the boundaries making it a platonic relationship.
Why can't you be friends?

I often feel that a person that's been that intimate with you, will now be past all the "giggles and awkwardness" and just see you. Especially if their intentions are good.

A friend of mine seems to still be friends with all or most of his exes, and he's been married for years! He's a happy-go-lucky guy with a very positive attitude, and very romantic, and if I was his ex I'd probably still want to be his friend! :)

One of my exes tracked me down years later and we are email friends again, and when I'm in her part of the world again (hopefully next year) we plan to meet and I'll stay with her. She's older and probably mellower, but maybe still a bit psycho! My wife says she probably is! 🤣 However, we'll see. I don't expect any romance to be rekindled, but I think perhaps she realises she lost something when we split. 🤷‍♂️
