@ topic

it depends on how you broke up with he/she, because there is a how you two would break up that you wouldn't want to see each other so i think it depends.

Depends on how you guys broke up. At time i keep them as friends cause you never know when you feel horny and wants some dish. In cases like that she could always fill in the space and most of the time they don't complain but there are some i can't bear the sight of seeing, They make me puke,

Lol think you had a bad ex brother. And if she doesn't exist it only right to conclude that you went out with a GHOST

it doesnt matter keeping your ex as a close friend as long as u guys were compatible while still in a relationship and had to part ways because of other reasons,
my ex has been the only one who understands me till date and even tho were no longer 2gether he is and will always be my one true friend.

now this is one terrible topic.
first of all, why did u guys break up? are u both mature enough to still be 'friends'?
i am totally against it, at best, u guys can be on the hello and hi basislike someone said earlier, but 2 come in during my horny periods when my boyfriend/girlfriend is not around?HuhHuh now that is totally fcukd,  nothing personal i jus think, one should not dwell in stuff u can't handle, esp if u have your nu partners interest at heart,


what goes around, fcuking comes around!!

It is advisable not to fight with anyone, but it's up to you what kind of relationship you decide to have with your ex. There are so many possible scenarios:
-he broke your heart, u never want to see him again => you ignore him;
-he was a lot of fun to be with, so u stick to friends/buddies;
-what a hottie u'd say => you keep him for occasional fun.

It's not that hard, is it?

wow!!
@radiant,
no be today, e don tey!! have u ever asked yourself why some days are straight out bad?? in terms of different things?? wierd but true,

this might sound crude or 'old fashioned' to some, but extending the relationship u have with EX beyond 'buddies'(which has its limits by d way) to 'ocassional fun' is like; wait,  have u seen a dog eat its poop?? Undecided
there u go,

shit if u want to get back, get back and cut the crap!!

I had a lover.We could not marry for other reasons other than a loveless relationship.Eventually we married other people.Now we are such great family friends,even though our spouses don't know we were ever lovers.We told them we were just childhood friends.And you know what? we share deep secrets now.We help ourselves and our families in anyway possible.Yet we don't feel the sexual attraction anymore.At least,I don't feel so when I am with this ex.

The lesson I learnt from this is that we should not always insist that every relationship must end in marriage.I think the friendship maybe for life even though you don't up marrying each other.

Well said by all.
There is nothing wrong with staying friends with ex-, reason is that i personaly don't like burning bridges.
To keep it clean ,  is to keep a distance
Once dated, anything is bound to happen as its hard to entirely keep the past away, i tot it's all by my power of i can do it! but i realised that it was hard 4 both of us to pretend anytime opportunity brought us 2geda. Today he is married and kept coming around, the best way to keep him at his own side,i asked him never to call,txt nor ever visit my house again,it was a hard and best way to deal wit it,and hence it has worked

You call that secrets!!!! I am dissapointed in you
Means you have not totally liberated your mind from every heartaches, fear or whatever
I believe you guys are just scared that the other party will expose or reveal the true identity of your past lives

@Topic- You  just have to find a firm way of saying NO,Its over.Except you just want to flirt ,because keeping tabs and communication open with him or her is another way of saying lets continue from where we stopped or I have regrets for moving to some one else.It is dangerous
Just say xcept,you guys havent had any sexual relationship.Then it is healthy infact I recommend

i think its ok having your ex as a friend, as long as your just friends since your now involved with someone else
