No. I hate the damn girl.

I only have stopped talking to one ex, but thats because she was crazy and we broke up on a bad note. Sure, I dont keep in touch with them as much as I used to, but my most recent ex was with me for almost 5 years, and we have a son together. We're still really good friends, and while it was awkward for a time, once all of that passed, we were able to just hang out as friends. Frankly, I still consider her one of my closest friends, just because we know each other so well.

It all depends on how well it ends.

Keeping it short, I've had both good and bad breakups. There are extremes of both. One guy who used to be my boyfriend (when I was 14) is still my best friend. One boyfriend I had (when I was 16/17) had anger issues, was far too old for me and nearly killed us both one day when he was driving. I cut him out of my life when we broke up for my own sanity. He was exhausting to be around, I just couldn't stay friends with him.

I think everything takes a little time after a breakup to get back to normal. You might drift apart, or you might miss their company and want to be friends. What will be, will be.

I have remained friends (or at least on good terms followed by a natural drifting apart) with all of my exes except for one, my last one. He'd struggled for the past six or so months to stay as friends, though I simply couldn't do it, I was too hurt by the break-up for me to be able to accept him as a friend. Eventually I felt bad about cutting off contact and hurt myself again in contacting him again, so this time 'round I plan to stay away from him. <_<

Long story short, as other have said before, depends on how it ended. If it ended on a bad note [cheating, immediately starting dating someone else, fight, etc.], it likely won't work. Even if it seems like it might, something will rear its ugly head and prevent it from being a good relationship.

Sometimes, depending on the fight, it can be a good thing. On of my relationships end because of my immature actions, basically I would slag her off, nothing serious just a joke here and there but there came a time when she told me to stop once to many and stormed out the house so I followed her and when we were out in the main road she let rip, I don't blame her, it was brutal, almost broke me. Once we got everything off our chests we saw that the cracks had become ravines and a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship wouldn't work long term but it did help the friendship itself as we now understand each other down to a tee almost. :happy:
