can you really be friends???

Question

Can you be friends with a  regular ex boyfriend??? & or be friends with the ex bf who gave you a std?? Such say HPV??

Just wondering y'all thoughts and advice.. no mean comments please!!!!

Answer

Yes and HPV, while a "real" STD isn't regularly tested for and usually has no symptoms in men. A really really high percentage of people who have it NEVER get tested because they have no symptoms. If you broke up with him because he unknowingly gave you HPV, you might as well have broken up with him for giving you a cold.
 
And yes, you can be friends with exes. I am very close friends with two serious ex boyfriends and one ex fiancé.

Answer

Depends on situation and quality if respect and clear communication + boundary setting and having those boundaries honored.

Answer

Yes you can

Answer

I have never successfully maintained a long term relationship with an ex. It always gets messy eventually.

Answer

I'm close friends with a few of my exes and others I am not. Depends on the person and the situation. The ones I am still friends with I wouldn't give up for the world. There's always a reason people got together in the beginning and I don't think a friendship should be thrown away just because the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship didn't work out,
