Are any of you guys friends with any of yor ex's? (nt or aspie)

Do you think it's possible for ex's to be "just friends"? (friends with benefit's don't count lol)

can you ever truly forgive someone-an ex- who really hurt you ,or will the negative feelings aways be at the back of your mind?


just food for thought


love you guys

Nope I lost contact with my ex's. (only one was more serious relationship anyway) Guess it was for the better. But it should be possible to stay friends? I know people who were in a relationship and now they are good friends.

Friends with benefits are the best of both worlds

I think this one has to be a case-by-case thing. Sometimes people who break up amicably and on reasonably good terms can go on to have a platonic, non-sexual friendship, and it doesn't feel complicated.

Other times, the nature of the breakup and/or the people involved can make an attempt at friendship a bit more difficult to do without resentment of some kind resurfacing, or even the opposite, love or sexual wishes resurfacing and comlicating things if they are both not on the same page. Sometimes it's best to make a clean break if the friendship isn't going forward in a healthy way or one of the two feel differently or harbors an agenda.

My ex-husband and I broke up very bitterly, but managed to eventually have some cautiously friendly contact along the lines of Christmas cards and maybe a couple of chit-chat/news catchup e-mails once in a while. But it never was a full friendship again.

I have prosopagnosia (faceblindness) - less severe than a lot of others, but still hampering my social interactions.

An ex-girlfriend once came looking for me to say hi while I was at college. Meeting at the gates in front of my building I did not recognize her. I asked her for her name, saying I didn't recognize her. This unfortunately caused her to get upset and she ran away. I still have no idea who she was.
