can you really ever be mates with an ex?

I think once you've been very intimate it makes it alot harder.

It kind of does when you first break up. 4 years after I split up with my first sexual partner and we are really good friends. I hardly even think of him as an ex were just good mates.

my exs are my best friends....they know me better than most people ironically because they were my closest friends before we started dating.

I went down that road before with my ex. We finished then a month after we met u and just kept meeting up for sex, but then I thought "hang on a minute - I can do better than this" so one day I just said I didn't want to see him anymore as we weren't getting back together so I may as well move on with my life. I am so glad I did cos a few months later I met someone who is now my fiance. Sometimes it can be a really bad thing just sleeping with your ex as it gets harder to move on the more you do it (well that's what I think anyway).

no, sad but true. Even if you finished on good terms, i don't think you would be able 2 get back to how it was before, especially if it was a long term relationship

We only split up because of me going to Uni, it wasnt on bad terms or anything, so I guess that makes it kind of different, and it only happens during the holidays anyway.

i broke up with my ex in nov after i found out he had cheated on me with my "friend" (who now is no longer a friend). I never blamed him cos i still loved him back then and i was too drained to ever hate him. He refused to talk to me till Dec and we were good friends. Until i started with my new bf on V-day...he's been giving me ****. In fact...his behaviour's been scaring me.
