It just depends for me. I have an ex boyfriend who wasn't a great boyfriend I mean he was sweet and all but he didn't make a lot of money he wasn't always that smart and he didn't even have health insurance which I'm sorry these are things that I need in a husband He is more like a girlfriend to me I have ex boyfriends that I kind of delight in seeing the seething jealousy that there current wives send out since my husband for all his faults is very able to get past this issue I take it on a case by case basis as far as friends with ex.
What is the deal with that? Seriously! I understand if there are kids involved to the level of going to events for kids but beyond that...?
I mean is it really that hard to make NEW friends that you have not slept with yet or what? There are tons of people out there yet people have to go hang out with an ex and act like its nothing?
It IS nothing. There's nothing going on between my ex and I--she even has another boyfriend. But she still lives here and I pay the majority of the expenses--since I make about twice as much as she does, it's only fair.
That doesn't mean I'm all that interested in spending time with her--although I'll politely listen if she speaks to me, I much prefer to spend my time by myself. She thinks of me as a friend, but I do not think of her in that way.
I am friends with lots of my ex-boyfriends! I have gone to their engagement parties, weddings, you name it! I don't think it's that big of a deal. I'm not intersted in any of them anymore and vice versa, so what's the big deal? Some of these guys I have known for 15 years!
I don't know what it is about other people, but I want nothing to do with my ex'es. The whole reason they're an ex is because I didn't want to be around them anymore.

I can't understand that if they split up on bad terms, but as far as me and my ex, we still hang out every chance we get. The reason is simple: We entered the marriage as friends, and we divorced as friends. Why would I suddenly stop being friends with her just because she's my ex?
Hanging out with ex meaning when there's no date to have on a lonely night, and the ex becomes your date? That is definitely not for me. I know a lot of people do it, and my ex tried to do it with me but after one dinner date, I'd had enough. No thanks.
I don't know why people hang out with their ex on a regular basis aside from meeting them because kids are involved. To me, hanging out means spending your precious time with them. If they need me for an emergency, I'll be there for them to assist because I care about them as human beings. But other than a rare get-together for a good purpose (catching up may be one of them if I haven't seen them for eternity), regular hangouts are not what I consider desirable.
Awww, you are too sweet! It is a good thing you moved far, far away from me...we would be trouble!
Have you seen that bumper sticker and magnet that reads "Sometimes I miss my ex but my aim is getting better"?? I love that one!
LOL! Love it!
