You are the only persons that got it right! Others, who have commented so far, were talking either RUBBISH, or something not far from it!

Whether you would remain friends with your ex should depend on how and what caused the breakup/separation.

Men are generally jealous, when they see u(ex) with another guy their mood will change, though some of them try Ť☺ control it sha

i ve like, a couple of 'Ex'....... And they re quite tempted 2b intimate when we re close. we didnt break up with broken bottles, we were just nt meant 2 be. Even though d romance waz superb.... I neva fell in 4 those temptation. We re still frends. But keeping distance.

Yeah provided;
1. we maintain the distance.
2. She is completely engaged/married.
3. We didnt have a violent breakup.

Else there will be the tendency to ingnite the lost passion.

And we're stil friends,cause we broke up on gud grounds knowing we cnt b 2geda.

Your ex asking u to be friends is like kidnappers asking u to keep in touch after letting u go.

Its is absolutely wrong to stay friends with an ex, especially if you are now married!!
Any thing can happen at any time to complicate matters!!!
All exes shd be done away wt!!

Moukafoam: Men are generally jealous, when they see u(ex) with another guy their mood will change, though some of them try Ť☺ control it sha

Is Jealousy meant for a specific gender?

xynerise: It depends on the ex. My ex is a she-devil

Lol! Women don suffer! She-devil ke?

not too bad, but sincerelywith all carefulness. It takes real and real maturity from both sides b4 such decision can betaken

BUSH MAN: yep! i am friends with all my exes even though i am married

ud beta watch ur bk

[b][/b]There is a reason why she/he is an ex-

no sir

@hardbody what said okafor's law

I can't stay as friends with my Ex...reason being that"once debe,always debe"m

Kologie: @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.

On point! Uve said it all..

Why not... We can always be friends

Ya. But with a clear boundary

I am still in touch wit all my ex girlfriends except one igbo girl that I know if I catch her again at close corner, I may be tempted. I love my family!

dikkybutt: 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.''

Its hard to be friends wit an EX jare! Dnt bring maturity here joor! If u say Acquaintance, I agree,

What's there? Moreso, if she'd caused the reason for the separation.

Yes. Depends on the reason for exing them though. Need I say that new Terms and Conditions must apply?

jami3y: 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?

An EX- is someone who was FORMERLY in one's life, but is EXCLUDED from one's present activities.

I completely concur with those who commented earlier, stressing on 'why' and 'how' the relationship ended.

Life is very fickle...people fall in and out of love...thousands of 'em...by the second; for all kinds of reasons...ranging from trivial to the absurd, to very serious.

I've mulled over this real hard...using my personal experience as a yardstick...

There was this boyfriend who called it quits. Said I wasn't exciting enough...I didn't set his blood on fire... and he just vamoosed.

Years passed...I filled out nicely...let my hair down...even dabbled with make-up. The result? A smart young lady.

One day, I ran into this dude at a friend's party...and he extends the 'olive branch' of friendship.

Friends kwa? As as how nau? I made him understand the damage done was irrevocable...its not an issue of malice or bitterness.

The way I see it, there's has to be a platform that will make our paths cross. This is the only way we'll exchange 'pleasantries'. Full stop!

Anything beyond this is unnecessary. Whatever the reason for the break-up, fact remains that it happened. It don't matter if the both of you drifted apart...or fought verbally and physically until a separation became inevitable. Fact remains that the split occured...and y'all decided to forge ahead on separate tracks.

In my own very candid opinion...the whole concept of being 'friends' with an 'ex' is just a guise. Both parties use it as an excuse to check-up on each other...evaluating and assessing...congratulating themselves if they feel the other hasn't been able to improve on the track history left behind...berating themselves if they feel the other individual has been able to polish and harness strengths in all facets of their lives.

Why go through the charade? At the very most, say a prayer for 'em...asking God to bless 'em and all that is theirs, and keep 'em wherever they are...being too close and comfy with each other ain't ideal or healthy in the long run.

i believe that close to 50 percent of every broken homes is associated with this issue.That same reason that made you love her in the first place would always come back,especially with high degree of intimacy....To be wise,it is better to let go!

depends on how your relationship ended and also how intimate you were. if you've had sex then stay away!!!

beqs101: Yeap i can stay just friends with my ex cuz,once I'm done with a relationship,I'm done with all feelings..as a matter of fact,I'm still friends with my ex.

Big lie!!! you can go from friends to lovers not from lovers to friends it just cant walk!!!
