Ahhh, I am normal, glad to hear it. Last girlfriend wanted to be friends after we broke up, just like in the movies and on TV, yet, anytime I pointed to a movie or TV show about something, expecially as it related to relationships, her answer was always, "that is not real life" Well, who isn't in reality now?? Hmph
Good Riddence (Damn I miss her way too much) Michael |

I'm really good friends with a few of them....the rest are lost causes. It takes effort and both parties involved need to want to make that effort.

I'm very good friends with my ex-wife of 3 years, total relationship = 9 years.
jealousy is not a factor, as least not on my side of the equation. I don't want her, so what do I care what she does? no passion exists, that's why we got divorced! she fell out of love with me long before the divorce was final and during no point of the falling out was there any make-up sex. (I'm replying to the article's comments, for those who didn't read it and are reading the thread only...) now am I good friends with other women from my past? nope. does some passion still exist? possibly. does some jealousy exist... maybe. |

if I found someone that was perfect in everyway and she made me cut off contact with my ex-wife though-- done, no problem. |

That's what you do for someone you care about. Consider this, if she was perfect in everyway she'd understand and not ask you to do something like that.

special circumstances
Sure, you can stay friends with an ex... as long as it was never an especially serious thing in the first place. Then it's no issue. Other than that, it's unlikely.

Hrmmm..
I've got one ex that I was with for 4.5 years that is possibly my closest friend. another that I dated for a few months that I was living with for 8 months or so up until recently, we're still good friends tho. and yet another that I'm on speaking terms with, and we could be friends if I had any desire to be friends with people like her. but I don't |

My one ex....we were together for 9 years....left me for another guy. They were together for 3 years before it fell apart....funny thing is....the ex left that guy for another one! The ex is a beoch. I'm over the relationship, but when we happen to run into each other, it brings back way too much pain (for me) for us to be friends. Don't see it happening!

I'm not sure the article is total BS, it does cover the majority of people. It's just that it leaves no possibility for mature and rational people to get along afterwards, which can happen.
It's no coincidence that some people have a trail of exes that they wouldn't trust with a loaded weapon and flee from on sight, and others have courteous, friendly, platonic interactions with their exes. And it wasn't because they didn't love them or enjoy sex with them, or whatever. The quality of the relationship when it was going full steam has NOTHING to do with it, it's the way in which it ended and how both parties dealt with it. |

I talk to my ex GF of 1 1/2 years every once and a while. I guess you could say we're friends, but our contact is almost always just over the phone. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to see her in person or not.

I have a hard time maintaining friendship because there seems to be a lot of strain there.
