QOTD: Do you try to stay friends with an ex?

Suggested by QOTD-suggester extraordinaire, JennyBean.

In the post-break up world, do you try to remain friends with the person you dated? Are you known for clinging on afterwards?

Or do you cut all ties and move on to bigger and better fish? (Or smaller. Whatever floats your boat!)

it seriously depends on the nature of the break up, I've broken up with a girlfriend and remained on excellent terms because the break up was a friendly none hurtful one, but on other occasions its just impossible to talk to that person or see them without it being emotionally draining, so in those cases i haven't, it really depends.

It all depends on the type of break up.

I still socialise with two of my ex’s. One of them got married this year & she invited me to her wedding. The other ex he’s great fun to go out clubbing with & there is no strings sex, so I’m happy.

An ex I broke up with in February this year that I don’t want anything to with him won’t get the hint. So in that case I’d say no staying friends isn’t always possible. It depends if they are normal or a total psycho.

Well, I try to be friends with them. But there's always an awkward momment after it because of the new girl/boyfriend I'm/they're with.
Also, it's hard to try to talk with someone that cheated on you. I still try though, but it's never the same.
But if the other person refuses to talk to me, I can't do much. So, we both decide not to talk to eachother.
When I was with my ex, we just decided that we got tired of eachother and broke up. But we still talk to eachother ALOT. It's like we never even dated. Of course, there are those times where he asks if I wanna be with him again, but I just tell him that I can't cause I like someone else. He doesn't take it all that bad.

i am actually good at being friends with an ex..except for my last ex. i tried to be friends with him but he wouldn't do it. he resorted to being an ass hole and acting like a 10 year old, talking crap and making fun of me so i cut all ties with him. not to mention..he stole my ipod so yeah, ass hole. haha

For the boyfriend who f*cked me over...No, I didn't have the will to be friends with him nor the want to be. In a way if we were friends...he would probably f*ck me over some way as "friends" also. But I have another Ex, who is one of my closest friends. I don't have that feeling for him that I did back then & neither dose he. Hes just a nice guy and we figured it was good for us to be friends rather than dating. Plus we are both mature enough to put the past behind us. Good past.
I think it depends on what happend between the two in the relationship...and how the person is. Some people are ok with being friends with exs, some aren't.
