adelia Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has any positive stories they can share about post BU with their ex. One of my ex's I've been good friends with or what I'd call pretty good for yrs. We don't always talk but he never forgets a birthday and sends cards small gifts at Christmas etc which I also do for him. Not so much romantic but we have both moved on but still care about each other. There was a time thoUgh that we didn't really get along and took a long break like a year or so from talking or interacting. Any what you'd call success stories if you can call it that? 1
purplereigncb Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I'd like to read this as well... I think I should just be friends with my ex. I care about her too much.
NoLeafClover Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) One of my ex's who I was with my Freshmen year in college are in speaking terms. We didn't speak for 2-3 years after BU then I saw her at my College when I was a be Junior (she was a freshmen) We are not friends that hang out in daily bases, but I can message her anytime. Her parents own a boat shop so I always reach out to her when I need something to work on my boat. My now gf and I have been dating for 6 years on and off. I never stopped speakin to her when we weren't together. Stayed LC when i had a gf inbetween for 1.5 years. We tried to work on being together not long after I became available recently. I do not plan on talking to my latest ex ever again(the one I got on here for) after the way she ended things. Tried to chase and beg for a week just so she can put me down and step on me more. Now after 3 months NC , I hope she jumps of a cliff for all I care. Edited February 23, 2013 by NoLeafClover
Inviv_girl Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I believe it is hard to be friend with ex-, especially if you are dumpee! to know the one you love left you and you see them moved on and be with someone else. Dont you feel hurt at all?? unless there were actually No Real Love from the beginning then it shouldnt be a problem to stay "friends" with an ex-.

No I we did love each other but I don't think it was the lasting kind. He moved on a few times since. I have zero jealousy or interest in him and wish him only good things in his life.
Thunderchild Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I don't really believe it is possible to be truly 'friends' with an ex, especially after a long relationship. The dumpee is usually still secretly hankering/in denial. The dumper is just assuaging their guilt. Having a relastionhsip and then completely switching off the feelings to be really good 'friends'??
