[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that the people who want to remain friends with their exes are the people that cannot stand it when other people don't like them. I'm not a psychologist, so I'm not going to label those people insecure, co-dependent, etc. but it's definitely something. [/quote]

I think they feel ownership and a need to believe nobody else is better.

Alternatively, I think they like to keep him/her on a back burner and potential 'no strings' for life thing.

I really think no good comes from having an intimate opposite friendship with someone outside of your spouse (who you had lots of prior sex with). (not talking about casual guy friend, work, neighbor, etc.).  I mean look at Bill Gates and his lifelong 'friend' and Prince Charles with his 'Camilla is just a good friend'.

No way in hell would I enter into a marriage with someone so hung up on a past love, which OP I don't think is your case, btw.[/quote]

Who was Bill Gates’s lifelong friend?[/quote]

The woman he met on a weekend away every single year since the day he married Melinda.  And she knew this and agreed to the 'friendship'.

An interview from 1997 revealed Bill and Melinda Gates had an agreement that allowed Bill to spend one weekend a year with his ex girlfriend, Ann Winblad.
