Yes its the age old question is it possible to stay friends with an ex?
I am sitting on the fence here..

I met a guy and we dated for about 6 weeks. He still was not over his ex wife I found out after the fact.. We broke up and then after 3 weeks got back together.. That lasted about a week. Then we both agree to go our own ways. He broke my heart

I have had no contact with him since Jan.. I have become good friends with his ex wife and all of a sudden this week I get an email out of the blue from him..

Part of me wants to call him back and see what he is up to but part of me wants to just keep my distance and try and heal

What do I do??

Although it is possible it isn't probable. I'd get in touch with him just to find out what his motivation is.

From this title I thought you were asking if it is possible to remain friends with an ex spouse after the divorce and I would say absolutely especially if children are involved.

However if you are referring to being friends with a former lovers ex spouse that is a different story. I can see where it might be adventageous for you as their ex spouse might be willing to tell you things about them it would take you far longer to learn on your own. I have not been in that situation to comment intelligently. I can tell you that who your casual friends are should not effect your intimate relationships. I believe that if you are intimate with a person there is a level of honesty trust and deep seated friendship already or at least should be according to my internal morals.

That is just my two cents hope it helps.

I'm friends with my ex. Some people have an issue with it, others don't. We actually get along better now than we did when we were married.

However, with your situation, I'd be wary. But that's just me. And the whole idea of being friends with his ex, just seems to be begging for trouble.

Stop it with both of them. It is more touble than not, and really.... chances are high that drama will follow.

A lot.

And then you might really get hurt.

Yes one can remain friends, but in your situation you shouldn't.

NO!, I am not friends with my ex, or my ex's... NOPE! I "new them" when. and "now I don't" want to know them!. {ONCE WAS ENOUGH}.

If thy would quit trying to come back and just get the point "WHEN IT IS OVER IT IS OVER"...

I think friendship makes a difference, if they were your friend or your sexual fantasy. That makes a huge differences.

ONE likes the other.

The other was only for pleasure.. That never lasts....
