Is wanting to be friends with your ex wrong?

My relationships never ended on a particularly bad note, but context means everything in this situation. To the point where it's completely on you if you think it'll be weird.

Only if they don't want to be friends with you.

It's just a bad idea the vast majority of the time.

Part of me says it's fine and the other part of me says "no move on"

Its not wrong, just stupid.

>>18356778
not if the break up was mutual

otherwise you're going to have to deal with unrequited love and jealousy

Op here. I was with here for like three years and I more consider my ex a business interest since it's good to have contacts all over the world. She's in Dubai now and I'm in the us and we've both moved on

It's a bad idea. Period.

Depends on a lot of things. Usually if the feeling isn't mutual then it's better that way and you should move on.

Currently in this situation, it's weird bec she says she doesn't have feelings but I do for her on the low low because she never really told me the REAL reason as to why were breaking up....

now we're on good terms but lately she has lept showing me pictures of her nude, and teasing me kind of in a sexual/demanding manner trying to gauge to see if I make some move to get back which is weird from my perspective it just confuses the shit out of me getting mixed signals from her. Is say go for it but don't expect it to go back to the way it was before

tbqhfam this. I've never seen it be a good thing. tends to be that people that stay in contact ruin their next relationships because of it, then the situation with their ex falls apart again because they were an ex for a reason, and then they're alone and no one is happy.

just what I've seen.

95% of the time it is a bad idea.

In order for it to work you need to fulfill the following criteria.
>friends before you started dating
>mutual breakup on good terms
>0 chance you will ever get back together
>neither of you are the jealous type of person

Even if you meet all these there is still only a 25% chance it will work out in the end.

Ive also seen and been through this.

it's moronic. no sane future partner would want you to be around somebody you once wanted to spend the rest of your life with.
