Can ex's really be friends?

Question - (7 May 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 May 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *oniqueEE writes:

I cut all contact when my ex boyfriend broke up with me for reasons only known to him, but he asked me when I was ready to contact him because above all our friendship was the most important thing to him.

I feel ready to talk to him again, I miss the friendship. So I started with just a text which he replied to but said, 'are you allowed to talk to me, i dont wanna mess up your mojo'. I have no idea what that meant but told him I was ok. Sometimes he is unresponsive and as his girlfriend I could always nag him about it, as his friend I cant. Is he being unresponsive because of our situation? I thought this was what he wanted. He has stayed friends with another girl he got involved with. I am so confused.

Should I on the hand just stay away? It will hurt to no longer have him in my life, all I wanted to do was open the doors again.

Do you think he wants to close them? I'm moving on with my life and trying new things and I'm alot more atune with myself than when we were together, but I dont know how to act here.

EbonyBlossom agony auntI have 5 exes and I am friends with 4 of them. It is completely possible. You need time apart to let your feelings for them die. Then meet up and, providing those feelings don't come back, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be friends =]

I agree with Annalisa, it's over, move on. Ex s are just that part of your history, if he wants his cake and eat it then he should have thought about that.

Drew21 agony auntI don't think you can. It just allows for too much potential drama in the future, from a miscommunication in how you really feel to awkwardness with future significant others.

Best to cut all ties.

BunnyTee agony auntI've heard this can be done, but personally, I believe it to be a very illadvised pursuit. If you took issue with his behavior as his GF, note that you're now taking issue, the same way over the same issue(s). So what's different, now? I'd work on keeping your mojo functioning well and cease being concerned with the ex's cleverly-couched BS. Do you really need the asinine games?
