Is it possible to stay friends with an ex girlfriend after you have broken it off with her. I had an ex that was persistent that we stay "friend"s. We stayed friends and she gave no inclination that she wanted to get back together. Is she just a good actress..?
It eventually came to an end when my wife said to dump her as a friend cause she was making waves.

Most people I know don't stay friendly with their exes after a break up, but I definitely know a few who have.

What kind of "waves" was she making? Or was your wife just jealous?

I'm a guy and from personal experience, you wife is right. As your wife, she is entitled to be protective of her marital relationship with you. . . as are you btw

It sounds to me like your wife was simply being jealous.

I think a lot really depends on the situation and what your relationship was like. I'm 24, single, never married and I like hooking up with random girls so I'm not sure if my thinking is wrong because I'm not married but hey, just giving what I think.

Why would you let your wife dictate, whom you are friends with?

First off let me state she was not my wife when all this occurred. At first she did not have an issue and actually tried to include her in stuff. My ex would ignore her and try and go behind her back on stuff.
Maybe it was a little jealousy on here part but she was willing to put up with it. They did not really like each other.

If your friend went behind your girlfriend on stuff and was openly hostile to her I can see why your now-wife wasn't a fan of her and why she wanted her to go. If your ex were totally fine and over you I would think she would have made a better attempt to be friends. Sounds like the friendship wasn't all that important to you anyway and that you made the right choice.

When its this recipe...absolutely not


Usually never works out for anyone. Who cares. Its why you ex em.

Move on and avoid the drama. No need to cling to an ex. Make new friends that don't add drama, or questioning to your current relationships or emotional states. There are plenty of people on this planet who are good people that could use company that are not your ex and not the types to be shady as your ex has done.

Remove the labels and look at the facts. Why would you want ANYONE around you doing that? Ex or not. Life is rough enough. Don't ask for more problems.
