Do you think it's possible to be just friends with an ex?
I personally think it's a really hard thing, and it can depend on a few things, like how long you dated, and how far you went with the person. I think being open and honest is the best way to keep someone in your life. I am currently living with two of my exes and I think we are doing just fine.

You are living with two of them? There is no way I could do that. I recently got in touch with my childhood sweetheart via Facebook and all we both talk about is the 'what if's' so I don't think it's healthy for us to ever meet up with each other.

It's possible, but I would think unlikely. There are old feelings there, and there's always the possibility that it could lead to something more even if it's just a mistake.

Good news it, I have decided to get back with my bf Chris and we don't live there anymore. It would have worked for me, but there was too much jealousy from one of them and it was pissing me off once and for all

Being friend with your ex is possible. You can keep him as a friend and as a mentor.

It is certainly possible, although it does seem to be rare. Many people prefer to avoid contact with their ex, even if they did not part as enemies. I suppose a lot depends on the people, and on the whole story of how it happened, why they separated, etc.

I have realized it's best not to talk to my ex. It's just.. we are so different and I don't want to make Chris worried about anything. I care about Chris too much to do that. He's my best friend and everything to me <3

If that's the case, then it must be a different story. You don't have to talk to your ex if you worry that your current will get jealous.

I think it is possible to be friends with your exes. If you too separated in a nice way, and have talk about the relationship and why you two have to live separate lives. I have a few exes who are still my friends.

Ya. It just wasn't worth it for me, because I knew I was hurting him. It wasn't just jealousy.. he was becoming very hurt and upset and it just didn't feel right.

I don't think you can "get over" your ex while you are still friends, but if you are both over each other and then you meet up again and become friends, I think that can work. I am friends with one of my exes whom I dated for 8 years and was engaged to. He totally broke my heart and I didn't see him for about 5 or 6 years even though he wanted to remain friends, but then we started calling each other and talking to each other again and I found out that he was still the fabulous person I had dated, but that I didn't have any attraction anymore. We're great friends now and my husband and I have even gone to stay with him on vacation!

Being friends with ex is not impossible but i think its better to keep distance from them and move on..
