What's with it?

The questions:

I knw it very well depends on the people involved and the reasons for the break up as well as the emotions involved after the termination of the relationship but in your view, do you think that it is wise to be friends with your ex? I am very much looking forward to yr responses!

And the answers was:

ayzeayem (10/29/2005 5:29:09 PM): why not..unless u broke up cause of major gigantic fight..but for me when it is over it is over..keep your mind free and your feeligs clear..easy for you to go for next steps or relationship..

me_badman (10/29/2005 7:33:11 PM): Be friends with ur ex? Well, if both can diffentiate between friendship n relationship, n treat bygone as bygone, i don't see why cannot.. M in good terms with all my ex's - still can sit have drinks n chat everything including their new guy... M friends with my Kids' stepfather.. Hehehe.. It's all in d mind, depends on how we look at things.. Answer good enough for u dear?

budakmetro (10/29/2005 10:58:12 PM): wise or not, will depends on how both parties handle their own emotions. If both can be matured and professional about it, then should not be a problem to become friends as long both parties know how to draw their emotional boundries. But from experience, not many ppl have that capabilities. If the emotional pressure is too much in being friends, why torture yourself. He or she is not the only friend that you have. If it helps not being friend with that guy for u to get over him/her, then dont.

mysabear (10/30/2005 7:50:07 AM): my response is.. if u want a clean and good relationship with someone new... stay away from him. Be casual or write a hari raya card once a year.. no birthday cards tho. ur frens but ur not close just like ur old frens. if u keep him near in ur heart or mind .. ur gonna have a bad experience wiith anyone else.. trust me.. i hear too many tales of mr x or ms x. i think better be with someone rather than none but pls if he or she is wrong.. do leave.

matt_in_kl (10/31/2005 12:17:02 AM): sure, nothing wrong with that, if you ended it in a good way

phreak_fish (10/31/2005 9:18:49 AM): In response to your question. Remember that line,....."Hope we can be friends...." do u really mean it when u said it? can u 2 really be good friends, not let emotions cloud any actions or decisions u take? and when he or she has someone new, how would u react? it takes a strong person to go through all that

Hmm... It keeps me thinking...
