[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can easily be friends with an ex and would never cross the line. Maturity and communication are key. [/quote]

Exactly. I recently went out of town with an ex for my birthday. He had to work a lot and I just hung out at really nice digs. He and I had great baseline as best buds before we were in a relationship. The relationship ended mostly because his schedule is nuts due to his occupation and he likes women a little to much for my taste. Don't think there was any cheating while with me but felt like it was inevitable. We are still good friends and are in contact a fair amount. Gotta put your big girl draws on if you are going to be friends with your ex. Be a grown up and open you mouth and say what is going on or if something is bothering you.[/quote]

I imagine that if you had a boyfriend you would not be spending time with your ex in this manner - going out of town with him, etc.

I'm friends with an ex - we don't live in the same state but email each other on birthdays, holidays, etc. My DH is fine with it because my ex and I had broken up and we're friends for several years before we met. So friendships are possible, but obviously there need to be boundaries.[/quote]

You are right, neither of us is seeing anyone at this time. When we are the other always respects that and doesn't try to interfere. We are both big clowns and like to laugh and act goofy and enjoy each others company so it works. [/quote]
