If so, how long did it take to become friends after you broke up? How often do you interact with each other? Who initiated contact? Did either of you feel any jealousy when your ex became romantically involved with someone else?
My experience has been that it's best to wait a while and let time heal up the wounds before you really approach this. If you're meant to be friends, you will be. If you're not, you're not.
I'm still friend with two (sort of three) of my exes. I say sort of three because the third wasn't very involved, but we remain good friends. But none of us could do it right away. Another ex is just someone I consider a toxic person and the last won't talk to ME.
I wouldn't push it. Consider why it is you seem to be really obsessed with having them in your life. It should be organic, not some subconscious effort to not really let go.
One ex and I lost communication, actually, I didn’t have any reason to talk to her, besides, things finished pretty bad between us. After a year or two, she started to contact me just to casually say hello. Then she arranged to meet somewhere. We did and she apologized for the things she did (which ended the relationship) and talked about a possible comeback but I refused. She tried and tried for quite a while. I told her straight out that I just didn’t feel that spark anymore. Still, we would go out here and there as friends. She would drop by my office to drop a gift for me, meet me for lunch, etc. My friends would ask me if we would go back but no. Interesting thing is that we would have a great time and all, we know each other quite well. But I just don’t feel like going back.
She is now going out with another guy and things seem pretty formal. Since their relationship became formal she has cut all kinds of communication with me and even deleted me from her list of friends in a social network, ooooh well.
I am in good terms with other girls I had a relationship with.
yeah with a few. but the psycho ones- no. 2 of my exes actually came to work for us after we broke up. one was there for many years, even trained my wife when she came to work with me.
Yep. It's possible. Much of it depends on how things ended.
I've got a friend who is an ex. We don't hang out together, but we stay in touch. We pretty much grew up together and never had one of those nasty breakups, yanno?
Even if I wasn't married, I'd never get involved with him again. He's an ex for a reason.
Doesn't mean I don't like to stay in touch, though.

Well, not best or close friends, but once the dust settles, I tend to reconnect with my Exs and keep in touch with them.
My SO is good friends with several of his exes. We joke about it. He tells me about this or that old friend and I ask if she is an ex...automatically.
