Is it possible to friends with an ex?

It is possible but not a good idea, IMHO. The trouble comes when one of you find a new relationship. Double the risk if the couple has been intimate together.

Once you cross the "sex line", the die is cast for better or worse.

I put yes. One of my ex's is still one of my best friends. We hang out quite often actually .. along with my boyfriend and his new girlfriend. It was kind of awkward at first but I was with him a long time and didn't want to lose his friendship and I am glad I put in the effort to make it work.

The relationship that I have with my soon to be ex husband is AMAZING!

We live 4 hours apart and don't see each other very often (about once a month) but we talk almost daily on the phone.

We were together for almost 11 years. We both agreed last night that we are a great couple when we don't live together.

It is very possible.

I am very good friends with an ex-boyfriend of mine. I just came to the conclusion that I could still talk to and confide in him even though he's a terrible boyfriend.

Good luck, Carmen.

I think it depends on the situation. I know I have always been able to be friends with exes. I was friends with my ex-husband until his new wife put the kabosh on that. She was actually the one who wanted us all to hang out, and then within five minutes of meeting me, she changed her mind and was really hateful to me. Oh, well. Her loss.

And, I typically don't date men who have insecurity issues where it would become a problem for me to still be friends with guys I've dated in the past. If my fiance has a problem with a guy I've dated, it's because he doesn't like the guy, not because he's an ex.

I don't know what your situation is, but i'm sorry you're in it.

Well I was friends with my ex who is my sons father until his evil girlfriend came around. We talked all the time and hungout and then he started dated this girl, well now he doesnt see his son and she doesnt want him to be in his sons life and after 8 yrs of friendship we dont speak or anything anymore

A sex line ???? What on earth is a sex line ???
I know what sex is, and I know what a line is. But I'm not real sure what it is when you put those two things together.
Are you some sort of randy physicist or something ???
