Can you treat her or him as a friend?

[Ryobi]

I was just wondering can you treat your ex-girlfriend / ex-boyfriend as a friend and keep in touch with her/him ?

 

[- - -]

Yes, my ex-bf is one of my closest friends and I would be heartbroken if we lost touch. Sentry also keeps in touch with his highschool gf. We experienced wonderful and amazing times with these people and just because we realized that we weren't meant for each other doesn't mean we dont want them out of our lives.

I cannot be friends with a hottie I am sexually attracted to.

 

[lagavulin]

Yes, my ex-bf is one of my closest friends

Hmmmm .... I seem to recall hearing of this in the ancient texts

I can't do it, if she was good enough for me once upon a time I would still want to jump her bones and do wambo minki ™. Or she was a mistake from a particularly bad night and I would never want to see her again.

My desire for sex (maybe not hers) would get in the way. She would eventually become exasperated with the deep passionate looks and the constant erection.

I've been lucky enough to keep almost all my ex-gf as friends.
And of them 90% are still friends with benefits

 

[FieldingMelish]

My ex is one a my best friends and I go over weekly for a steak and a bj when her Sugardaddy is not there. We get along better than ever.arty:

Depends if friendship was the basis of the relationship to start with.

 

[a 1 player]

Occasionally I have been able to, sometimes though a clean break works better.

Friends with benefits works. Cold turkey no sex only works IMHO if one is no longer attracted to her or if you are really into someone else. There are exceptions of course, as with most rules in life.

 

[Don Draper]

No.

The only reason to continue seeing an ex is for sex.

If sex is not an option, someone else is!

 

[SillyGirl]

Not yet, but I'm trying. :neutral:

 

[tboy]

Well, I tried and frankly (and this is not boasting) they ended it because we'd always end up back in the sack again with me. I never had a problem with it :beurk: but they did, funny though it was by their choice though that we would. This wasn't a problem if they found someone else however, I guess it means they were gettin' sum somewhere else.

I remember one time I found a number for an old gf (this is like 5 yrs after we split up) and I thought, hey, wonder how she's doing. When I called and started asking how she was, how her family was etc she was acting all suspicious and giving short terse answers. I finally just came out and asked what was wrong, they said they were wondering why I called. I said "hey, I found your number in my old wallet, wondered how you were, decided to call, simple as that. I went on to say "I've found out you're fine, your family is fine, I'm happy your fine so have a good life....bye" and hung up....

Yeah, I dated some weird women....

 

[Cycleguy007]

I can... but the ex's can't handle it...

Had 1 contact me on Facebook... it got ugly real fast... I had to defriend her! :gasp:

Another happened to run into Mrs. CG and I at a club when we first started dating (before we were married)... and she was real bitchy to us both so Mrs. CG went into stealth mode and started playing it up REAL good... kissing me, grabbing my ass, feeding the cherry from her drink etc. even tied the cherry stem in a knot with her tongue and handed it to me... (she was ruthless) all so the EX would see...

The next morning I got a phone call at 5:00 a.m. It was the EX, she just said, "You're a real dick head" and hung up! :shock: LOL

I didn't mean to imply I was trying to warm things up that much, not at all.

But it would be good for the kid if Mom could be in the same room with Dad without wanting to stab him in the eye with a fork, so I'm working on it.

Hon, I want to do this at times to the man I am married too.
As for ex boy/girlfriends some yes and others No

WHAT??? I thought he was your soul mate? I don't think if someone is your soul mate you'd ever want to stab them in the eye with a fork! Heck, I thought you two were so interconnected and in tune with each other that when you eat chili, he gets the shits??????

He is not GOD and yes I do feel like I could kill him at times, but he feels the same too. How does that song go " You take the gun and I take the knife, come on baby, lets fight, fight , fight" We the best time to my love is after on of these fights, as it takes a woman longer to let go of anger. So the love making is with nails and teeth. Sorry tboy you are not a woman, so you can not understand, also I am sorry you have never felt total joy in a person, friends, lover, fighter, but that is a relationship.

I miss you too dear.:na:
