I have been friends with a few of my exs it depends on how it ended.

[FlyingJesus]

Some yeah, guess it prob depends on the circumstances of the breakup

not really i'd potentially start liking them again.
i've been friends with one but its just awkward as ****

[Brad]

This one is hard. I feel that there would be a lot of tension. If you were sexually involved with them.
If you weren't, I still think that there would be a lot of built up questions, jealousy, and maybe some resentment towards the actual friendship.

But that's only been my experience.

I tried to my friends with my ex (who im back together with now) but when we tried to be friends it was too hard.. like Brad said so much jealousy and feelings were still very strong hence us getting back together haha.

I am friends with a few of my ex's tbh.
I was really close with my one ex before we got together and now we talk about relationships and sexual encounters etc and it doesn't phase either of us and it's quite nice because it's kinda like a second opinion as she will always be brutally honest haha.

hi love ur username im an activist till 2012

but back to the topic at hand i mean, its different for some people. i would never want to be friends with my exes because i find it awkward as hell we talk for a while and then i remember why theyre over because that annoying or argumentative side or tension between us would uprise x

no exs are binches

[Charlie]

i've spoken to one or two since we've broken up but honestly, i have no desire to be friends with any of them. i just feel like we have no reason to be friends with each other.
