I think that it's fine to be friends with your ex unless they did something that you really didn't like at all, and they're different. It may be awkward, but I'm sure it's better then ignoring them always.

I personally think it's ok for her to be friends with her ex, because she has the right to be friends with anyone she wants to. But, if it gets serious, it's not ok.

Sure ... why not? Just be certain that it remains a "friendship" and nothing more than that. Keep your sights open for another guy though ... don't let this "ex" hold you back from proceeding forward in your life with another relationship.

Of course, depending on who you are. For some ex-couples it's very awkward after you've been a couple to still talk since one or both of your hearts is broken. However, if the breakup was mutual, you have more of a chance of being friends. unless it was a bitter breakup. Unfortunately, though, statistics show that very few couples remain friends after breaking up.

There's nothing wrong being friends with an ex-girlfriend. After all, she was once your friend. Maybe you both can't be together, but that doesn't mean the friendship you both once shared has to end.

  • The percentage of being a friend with your ex is extremely low, but a few manage. It appears to be a new idea by todays standards to try and be friends with an ex. Ex means that the reationship is over and it is much healthier for both people to move forward in their separate lives.

Yes, you can be friends with an ex. Whether or not that's a good idea depends on your personality, your ex's personality, the nature of your relationship, and a host of other factors.

For many people, the idea of staying friends is untenable. After all, that's why breaking up is called "ending a relationship." In most cases, the relationship...ends.

Scientists have looked into post-breakup friendships, and some of the research has interesting implications for these types of relationships. In one such study, researchers identified four common reasons behind the behavior: security, practicality, civility, and unresolved romantic desires.

Unsurprisingly, participants in this last group had more negative outcomes-their friendships ended, or they were unhappy in their other relationships. People who stayed friends for security or for practical reasons had more positive outcomes overall, but people who stayed friends for practical or civil reasons were less likely to stay friends in the long term.

In other words, if you're looking for a long-term friendship, you should want the security of the friendship; other factors shouldn't come into play. For instance, if you want to maintain the friendship because you're worried that your mutual friends will choose a side, your friendship with your ex probably won't last very long, even if you are able to sustain it for a short time. More importantly, if you have romantic feelings for your partner, don't expect them to disappear simply because you've changed your relationship status on social media.

There are other reasons to consider a clean break. Another study on post-breakup friendships yielded a surprising result: Men who maintained these relationships were more likely to have "dark personality traits" associated with Narcissism and sociopathy. Men were also more likely to rate sexual access and pragmatism as important reasons for continuing the friendship.

Still, "your ex might be a psychopath" isn't a great reason to cut off contact entirely. Plenty of people are able to maintain worthwhile friendships with ex-partners, so there's no hard-and-fast rule.

If you're considering a friendship with an ex, ask yourself why you want to keep part of your relationship intact. Be honest with yourself-if you've got any unresolved feelings whatsoever, it's probably a good idea to cut ties, at least temporarily, until you're both comfortable with other romantic pursuits.

If, however, you feel that your relationship is better as a friendship (and if you're sure that your ex feels the same way), go for it. Good friends are hard to find.

Yes of course, I am friends with my ex. But its up to you, if you want to be friends of course, but if that's why you broke up then you should think a bit more.

Friends are friends and if you like this girl then it does not matter if this girl is an ex of your other friend, but be sure to let your other friend know you are seeing this girl and why. When you are with the ex girl try not to discuss the relationship she had with the other friend and just enjoy each other.

How do you know when one of your friends is secretly friends with your ex friend?

1. You could get another one of your friends that's friends with the one you thinks is friends with your ex-friend and then your friend that's monitering can tell you what they heard or talked about. But make sure it's ok with your friend first before sending them on the "mission". 2. If you're friend is secretly hiding a friendship then you don't want to be friends with this person. Its good that you still want to be friends with them but your friends need to tell you the truth about everything. 3. Just get your ex-friend and your other friend in the same room and ask them about it. Tell them that its really hurting your feelings that you think they're hiding something and maybe you and your ex-friend can be regular friends again.
