It depends on wat led to the break-up. If it jst didnt work out because of genotype issue for instance, no problem,
but if u guys broke up bcs of unfaithfulness, disrespectfulness, hurt, how cud d above topic cross ur mind?

dayokanu:

A breakup can be by mutual consent so why cant you remain friends?

Breakup by mutual consent e.g Guy traveling abroad and he tells the girl they cant continue long distance and both moveon,
Genotype dont match,
Families dont agree,
Guy joins Military and the girl cant wait till he comes back from Afghanistan
Girl wants to get married guy not ready. Mutual consent breakup

Dont act like once people breakup they become mortal enemies


That's the issue. If the breakup was because she did something really bad. I mite just know her but not talk to her too much.
If its that he did something bad, then I don't want to even have her around me. Before she d start to forgive him after we are married and open closed chapters.
It it was a mutual break up for genotype, long distance etc I would prefer she moved to another planet because there is still potential for a lot btw them.

I would trust my spouse but I won't be tempting him by allowing him or me be friends with exes.

Of whAt point is it? It's unnecessary. You mustn't be enemies but to be friends it's unnecessary drama.

I even prefer they broke up because one partner messed up. When the break up was for platonic reasons it means they still have a lot of chemistry btw them.
Am I the only one that thinks this way?

only because you still want to sleep with them.
it's not just possible to be friends with someone you have shaggëd before without one or both of you scheming ways of rolling back the years. even if you are mature enough to stay decent, can you trust the intentions of the other party? no!!!

i don't speak to exes - i delete every link to them the moment the relationship is off(sometimes even before the relationship is off). i don't have time for such frivolities....she's an ex for a reason! seeking out one's old flame is the beginning of joblessness. grin
