    I was going out with this girl for 2 years. When we broke up we still were on good terms. We hung out , went to the cinema , dinners etc ( basically BF + GF crap without the sex ) and I thought there might be a chance of it getting back together. Then the more we hung out it just got harder to be friends. Then when she moved on to some other guy I just couldn't be arsed .


    So no, we are not friends. A lot easier this way

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 124 ✭✭Musicman2006

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 894 ✭✭✭Willbbz

    Nah, just had no interest in spending time together.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I wouldn't say friends but not on bad terms.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Not really. Was on good terms with most of them but dont ever see em. Dumped one via text so not surprising she doesnt talk to me. One I used to be really good friends with but now hate her with every fiber in my body.

    Bitch broke my God damn glass heart.

    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne

    I am with one, although it did take a year or so of hating each ther before we could even be in the same room. Now we hang out a fair bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,261 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    With ones from my teens yeah.

    Not friendly at all with the last two, one by choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,068 ✭✭✭Bodhisopha


    One, when our paths cross on a night out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭Caraville


    Yeah, but sometimes I think it'd be easier if I wasn't. It's hard though when we both have mostly the same friends. Think it'll probably get less awkward as time goes on though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭shannon_tek


    Ya think were stil good friends


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Nope. He's a stalker psychotic **** bag.



    Nothing a belt of an articulated truck wouldn't fix though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    im not really friends with my last one although we are on FB and the rest its been years since i even saw or thought of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭LighterGuy


    Weather its just me and having bad luck, but my last 3 exs have ended horribly. Out of the last 3....

    - The first cheated lots of times.
    - The second was just an as*hole.
    - The third used me so much. Also cheated. A personal "rude awakening" for me. It changed me.

    Current girlfriend is lovely tho :)

    So I guess I can only talk from experience. But f**k ex's. But even if I take myself out of my experience. Why on earth would you want to remain friends with an ex? Sure, if it ended on good terms. Why not. But most relationships dont end on good terms. So, as harsh as it seems, toss them aside.

    i would have to agree there mate,i think remaining friends leaves something inside that one person is hoping to get back together,and to add,fck this "you don't date friends ex's" rule.

    So true.
    Lets be honest, generally relationships dont end well. We're talking about majority here. Like if I took 100 people and asked them out of all their relationships. How many ended on good terms and bad terms. Money is on majority is bad terms.

    So, why play nicey nicey if it ended on bad terms. Toss them aside and move on. In fact, to dig deeper, why even play 'friends' if it ended on good terms. I have seen people pretend to be friends after a break up only to be slagging the other off behind their back.

    Granted, I accept some people can remain friends. How often does that happen tho? .. I mean there is alot of bull**** in this world. A seemingly good friendship after a break up can be just that "seemingly" ... but really what I said above.

    No, I would have liked to be aquaintences at least, probably would never have been friends proper but I would have liked to see them again. Won't happen now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    Of course. We're still family.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,062 ✭✭✭number10a


    He's actually my best friend by a long shot! New boyfriend is (understandably) not too keen on this. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭markesmith


    She's my best friend. Any girl that has a problem with that can jog on...

    She's in hospital right now, made me realise how good a friend she actually is :o

    dear god know, im a prick and it becomes more and more apparent the longer yer around me so no i'm not friends with any my ex's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭jeddie20


    Not really, would say hi to 2 if i saw them, good friends with 1, and can't get away from the latest for the life of me, pure stalker :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 285 ✭✭una_profesora


    I only have one and yes, we are friends and more than friends, he's like my brother.
    But I think it's probably because we live in different countries :pac::pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    I tried numerous times to talk to her but then she went and spoiled it all by taking out a barring order so the answer is No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    One I don't talk to on account of me trying to sleep with all her friends after the breakup. I was young and horny. She's a porker now anyway.
    The other one, I was for a bit, but she got a bit weird about it and disappeared off the face for the earth, which sucks as I really enjoyed being around her as a friend. Ah well, sh1t happens :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    we talk on gmail occasionally, friends would probably be stretching it.

    First boyfriend not friends at all - actively would ignore him/cross the road if i saw him out. He was a horrible boyfriend and is a horrible person in general so have no desire to have anything to do with him.

    Second boyfriend ended on good terms - took a few months but we became friends again. We were friends before we went out and we didnt fall in love while we were in the relationship. No broken hearts so why not stay friends. Recently we have started to drift apart (around 4 and a half years after we broke up) but that could be largely to do with him living in a different country.

    Third boyfriend not friends with him but would not ignore him if i saw him in the street or in a bar or something. Dont hold anything against him, but we were never friends, only a couple and we didnt make a great couple tbh.

    It is rare the stay good friends with an ex - but it can happen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    No. Tried it for a while but it just didn't work out.

    I have two friends who went out for over two years. They broke up but they're still best friends now. Very jealous of people who can do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭trebor28


    no.
    i let a lot of stupid **** slide when we were going out just for an easier life.
    when we broke up she wanted to keep up the stupid **** so i just said screw this go'luck!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,296 ✭✭✭Frank Black


    Nope - actively try to avoid her - which can be awkward as she's friends with my sister.

    IMO she's a crazy nut-job and I've no idea why I went out with her for as long as I did.





    Actually, I do - she was really good in bed and it took me too long to figure out that this didn't compensate for her personality flaws.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Mammanabammana


    I wanted to stay friends but the usual stuff got in the way - I wanted to have time with my friends down the pub, weekends away with the lads, threesomes with her (female) friends and ALL this was a problem for her...all of which was manageable but once she started complaining about the pressure of starting secondary school this September and asking me to help cover her books and drop her off in the morning, any chance of friendship went out the window. What a waste of the 10 years of my life that we were together.

    Treated me like **** in the break-up so no. Why would I want friends like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭kingtut


    Nope I hate her! B*tch pretended to be dying of lieukimia* (sp?) to get out of the relationship.........

    .......*which my Uncle died of when I was about 11 :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    As the legendary Bruce Springsteen once said "nobody knows, honey, where love goes. But when it goes, it's gone, gone"
    There is no point in being friends with an ex, it's a needless reminder of one of your lifes failures. Who needs that shít!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Mammanabammana


    There is no point in being friends with an ex, it's a needless reminder of one of your lifes failures.

    Actually, I'm very good friends with a few of my exes. To me it's not a reminder of a failure - if anything it's a marker of success; the relationship didn't work out cos it wasn't right for us but the friendship was strong enough for that ultimately not to be an issue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 154 ✭✭AllYourBass


    Nope, the relationship was too much bloody work for the last 5 years or so, so when the relationship ended, it just seemed like a bloody chore to even be in her company.

    Was she on the rag a lot or something?

    A standard 'it's not me, it's you' conversation wouldn't have sufficed?

    Friends with two of them, don't think I've spoken to any of the others since the breakups. The two were good guys when I went out with them and are still good guys, no reason to not be friends really.

    The mother of my child yes we get on great....the rest nope.

    One I was friends with before breifly going out with her, still bump into her or joke about on facebook every now and then.
