A friend of mine once said 'staying friends with an Ex is like re-opening an old wound'. Her believe is that no matter how hard they try not to delve into what they were like together, it will still happen. But someone might think otherwise. Opinions are however not the same because we all have our divergent views to things. If it were you, would you still remain friends with your Ex?

It's circumstantial as it depends on how/why we broke up in the first place.

As long as she realise that germ title is "ex" and not present and she does not try to warm her way back, no problem

@op I think your friend is right to an extent. Getting too close to your ex can actually whip up old feelings regardless of how high you try to raise your guard. If you are in a new relationship( especially if you are now married) the best bet is to cut off completely and set new rules of engagement.
You can interact with your ex in a very social setting, but not in a private atmosphere that can encourage passionate intimacy. For me, your ex should be seen as just one of your contacts; or like a book in the shelf-- consult them when you need them. Nothing more.

Anything more than that will amount to creating crack in the wall of your new relationship.

How could you stay friend with an ex who knows your sexual weak points. Many ex have always come back to nack themselves even after they were married to other spouses. Best is, keep the distance. And no sane man or woman should allow his love to keep closeness with an ex, if you do, you have better chances you are being cheated on and at the end, you end up being the purest mugu. Its inside a relationship you set boundaries, that this is what I want etc. Not outside it.

Some would say ''An EX should stay an EX. They’re the EXample of false love and an EXplanation for why you deserve better.

But I would say ''Being friends with ur EX shows you two are mature enough to get over the fact that you weren't meant to be together.''

Not bad but risky. Women especialy gets tempted to find consolation in the broad waiting shoulder of an ex provided d hubby is always travelling for business or if they have little issues. It's not bad as they could be strictly business associates but closeness may lead to feelings returning and then when in privacy together,anytn can happen and may keep going on and on. Leading to blackmail and divorce when hubby eventualy finds out.

People have different reasons for ending their love relationships, and these reasons ultimately determine the level of communication or friendship between both parties.(No need to explain this)

I am friends with my ex's. They call me. I make them laugh.
I've been talking with one of them for the past two days. She says she thinks bout me. She has a new dude undecided
