Yes it can be done but it depends on the circumstances. Me and my ex
separated on bad terms but I was ready because I knew it was coming for
a long time I only held it together for the kids. Yes we don't get along
at times "Everyone" is gonna disagree at some point anyways all friends
disagree about certain things hell if we all liked and thought the
sameway life would be pretty damn dull. I have been through hell with my
ex but now I can be her friend because she can no longer control me I
can stop the conversation right there if we don't agree. We were
friends before we married and we're friends off and on now, depends on
how she's acting that day lol

I agree no one gets along all the time.when my x starts getting on my
nerves i tell him bye and he does the same. I think if more people who
break up would stop and think about the kids they have together they
would not be so fast to hate the x. I mean after all all x's were
freinds at some point.

i stayed with my ex for several years for the kids,but it was making
them misarable and both of us,and when we do talk we try an get along
because of the kids,but its hard when your ex's g/f or b/f which ever it
may be.doesnt want the 2 of you talking,so sometimes it may be best to
try not to try ,cause I know I loved my ex with my all and then some but
it wasnt enough to hold us together....

Let's put it this way after what my ex put me through.....
somebody could call me and tell me he was dead and I would go to where
he lived and piss on his grave and that is putting it mildly

YES, Virginia...you CAN be friends with your ex!

In fact, my former fiance' (from a 5 year long relationship) is my best
friend, best confidante, father-figure, brother in arms, and my favorite
booty call, too.

What's more ~ I'm friends with HIS ex-wife, his adult kids, and his
current girlfriend. I see his brothers and sisters-in-law more often,
because the ex lives in the adjoining state while the sibs live where I
do.

My ex spent 10 yrs trying to turn my children against me. But they knew
my heart and were wiser than he gave them credit for.Through all the bad
things he said about me and did to me, I retained my dignity and my
faith.
A man who could lie and take children from their mother and then that
wasnt even enough for him-He had to plunge the sword deeper and twist.
I prayed for the day my kids would be old enough I wouldnt have to deal
with him again.
I do not hate him-I forgave him a long time ago.I feel sorry for
him-because he wasted so much energy he couldve spent just being with
and loving his kids. He has pushed them away over the years.
But as far as trying to ever be friends...
I think not!

I ended a 2 year relationship recently. This was a woman who I couldn't
see myself married to. It was unfair for me to string her along and
take away any chance of her ever being a wife or mother. But we still
are best friends. Communication is the key. Even if love ends you can
still be friends.

I am not friends with none of my ex's. In my opinion, you can't be
friends with your ex. Or at least you shouldn't be. I guess in very few
cases u can be, but from my expierence it's not a good idea.
