Do you ever miss your ex not in a romantic way but just their friendship and company?

Or is that impossible?

No way. My ex is a sociopath and she stalks me everywhere when she was the one that dumped me. I'm spooked.

Illithid agony auntAbsolutely! I have no desire to be with my ex again,to kiss her or more, to even date her. I don't want her. But I still occasionally need someone to talk to and miss having her company, or think of an old joke that I know she'd like. The love is gone, but the friendship is missed.

Honeypie agony auntMy first BF I still miss from time to time. We broke up almost 20 years ago. So yes it's possible. We stayed friends for years after we broke up and still "talk" maybe once a year through e-mail. I don't think of him in a romantic way at all but he's been one of my best friends for a very long time.

The other two guys I dated before I got married... couldn't care less.

Don't lie yourself. You can't miss part of him. You can only miss the whole thing. If you want him to be around for any reason u name, it means you still can't get over it. When he is around u want something more.

I'm sure there are some who miss the company of their ex's, in terms of friendship.

Personally, I'm not one of them.

The main problem is that one you've been intimate with each other, it's very hard to remain friends after the relationship breaks down. Someone always winds up pining, or hurt.

I'd say that it's normal to miss the company of an ex, but that it's often better that way.

fi_the_tree agony auntOver the last few months, yes i have missed my ex for his company. It's not like i always wanted him to come round and have wild sex with me everywhere or anything. But just to have a cuddle, even sit and talk or watch a film.

It's not impossible to just miss your ex for their friendship/company, it's nice to just have a conversation, have a cuddle or friendly hug or just sit and watch a film.

And i'm miss waiting for friendly moments with my ex lol...
