Depends on each particular situation. Some I am friends with, some I am not. My last ex I dumped but was very much in love with him. He cheated so I left. I would have liked to remain friends once we had both truly moved on but he has made it clear that he practically hates me. B/C of his behavior after the break up I just don't see how we can be friends. He burned every bridge that existed between us.from every corner. Lol.
I didn't talk to my ex for about two years after we broke up. I got in contact with her a few weeks back and we've been exchanging messages now and then.
I think similiar to a previous poster. Some people (especially the dumpee) have a harder time maintaining a friendship afterwards.
I know a lot of people who do not remain friends after the break up. Sometimes it is just better to move on without that person.
Especially if the break up was bad, or the relationship was toxic.
I can see maintaining some level of friendship if you have mutual friends, or if you have kids with that person, or if the break up was mutual.
But, almost never is a break up mutual.
I recently ended a relationship with my girlfriend of 3 months. In my past threads I mentioned a couple of things that she did that I really didn't appreciate. The break up was after a fight and we talked about it. I told her I wasn't feeling the relationship and that I preferred to be single. I really didn't dislike her and I wish her the best with everything in life. Anyway, she has now basically cut me from her life completely. I just don't understand why? I don't miss her like that, but I don't get why you would burn a bridge with your ex SOLELY because they are your ex. Am I the only one who feels this way?
No, I don't keep them around. I don't need a dozen ex GFs calling me at home when my wife answers the phone. No thanks!
It depends on how nasty the breakup was. My last girlfriend and I broke up because she moved away and I am in the process of moving away as well. We're still friends. Now I cut my ex-fiancee, who was bat excrement crazy, completely out of my life, but I stay in touch with her mom.
In my world, exes aren't friends. They are out of my life completely.
