Do you call your “ex” a friend?
This morning I asked a question on Facebook, Twitter and via email because I’m always curious to know other people’s point of views. The question was: If you have a friend that was once your ex, do you still consider them an ex? And why? The male commenters wrote: “I only have [one] ex that [...]
This morning I asked a question on Facebook, Twitter and via email because I’m always curious to know other people’s point of views.
The question was: If you have a friend that was once your ex, do you still consider them an ex? And why?
The male commenters wrote:
“I only have [one] ex that I’ve ever considered a friend and no i don’t refer to her as my ex. Any others we are not friends just associates or cordial to each other in public”
“Personally, I only consider them an ex if the relationship between us is still sexual, if not then they are a friend. I am cool with several of my ex’s but I consider most of them friends because the sexual and emotion dynamic is gone, I only call ex’s ex’s if emotions are still involved or if we are still sleep together”
The female commenters wrote:
“Yes I still say ex. Even tho we r friends. U may no longer be my man but ur still [a] good friend”
“Lol they not friends they are exs”
Referring to the last comment, I said: I don’t think that’s true though. Sometimes friends get into relationships and relationships don’t work out and you’re better off as friends.
With that said, what are your thoughts about an ex being a friend? Could an ex be an ex as well as friend? Does the two even go together?
Let’s hear it…

As I stated before on my Facebook page: To me, if exes are currently friends, he or she can no longer be considered an ex anymore. They are friends now. I don’t think they could be both just b/c they are either in your past (like exes are) or they are currently in your life, like a friend should be.

I don’t totally agree with this because sometimes they are both. He could have been an ex at one time, but now he’s a friend. Or he may not even be a friend and he is an associate.
I see a friend as someone you trust in sharing your personal life with, including if you are in a new relationship. How comfortable could you be to tell that to your ex, especially if you may have been the one that broke it off?

Once an ex – ALWAYS an ex LOL. There is a history there that the word “friend” doesn’t provide. A history that went beyond a friendship – more than friends with benefits. Every person I’ve been with, at one point I considered marrying and spending my life with…has that thought crossed my mind with any of my male friends? NOPE. That’s what separates an “ex” from a “friend” in my opinion
