Is it possible to keep an ex as a friend? Even if it is possible, should you?

That's a tough question.....some exes do it while others won't. Personally, I think that if you had a strong friendship during the relationship, it's possible....as long a the breakup wasn't messy. In the end, though, is it worth it? You will always feel hurt to see that person happy with someone else.

This is a tough question. But I think your ex is either your friend or your ex, it really can't be both. Exes mean they are "no longer in the picture." If s/he manages to be your friend, that means they are still in the picture, which doesn't make them an ex anymore. They are still currently "something."

Yes it is possible to have an EX as a friend, it just all depends on how their relationship was when they were together and how they broke up. If the relationship was based on a good friendship (childhood friends, friend of the family) it would be hard not to be friends just as long as both parties are in a mutual agreement as to nothing will not happen while either is in a relationship. But it is always best to keep the EX that is a friend at a distance especially if you are involved with someone else cause presumption is the root of all evil. Just to save your ass always tell the person you are with about your friends and EX's so he/she is not left in the dark

In most cases, I believe that ex's should not be kept as friends. I know for myself, being around that person could bring back feelings of some sort and cause confusion along the way. I've tried it and most of the times we end up dealing with each other physically and things become awkward. So its best to keep a distance... Plenty of my ex's are upset with me because I completely cut them off from communicating with me since I've been in my current relationship. Its a decision I made for myself to cut ties.
