does anyone think its possible to be friends with an X .....or do you think that he will see this as a 'green light'??????

deleted_user 01/15/2010

Not in my case, he hates me because he cheated on me and I kicked him out. Fancy that?

deleted_user 01/15/2010

Not me, but I know some that are friends.

Its tough going from fiance to friend, so thats up to you. I could not handle it with my ex, to much heart break!!

deleted_user 01/15/2010

Yeah, I don't think i could do it. All my breakups have been very amicable, but there's way too much history and chemistry to be really friends.

I see my estranged husband because we are a Big Couple with Big Brothers Big Sisters & didn't want to ruin the relationship with our little brother. It is hard for me at times because he is living with his pregnant mistress & when we are with our little brother it seems like nothing has changed.

I am amicable with him but, he lost my trust in him. So, no....just co-parenting and well wishes to him. They become the past for a reason.

I can't be friends either.
For me it was a case of try to make it work or let go.
There's no inbetween.
You either have me in your life as your wife (and we work at our marriage) or you let me go.
We made our decisions.
I'm not his friend.

I just pay my support and never talk to her. For me no way. As long as that big mouth of hers is shut towards me I'm happy with that.

This possibility completely depends on the unique people involved.

I still work at the same company as my X; although 550 miles apart, we'll have to communicate via business every now and then. I still respect the X as a person; so we'll be acquaintences. The foundation of a friendship died instantly when I was told to go away after 12 years.

To each their own.

Kav - I understand that it is possible for some people and I know my sbtx has some fantasy we could be friends, but that is all it is - a fantasy. Personally, I would prefer to kick his ass to the curb.

Yes as long as both parties respect each other boundiers and there are no hard feelings then yes.
