Caps and Ex's

Lately I've been seeing some questions about Caps and Ex's.

Why do you stay friends and do you keep in regular contact with them?

Have you ever gotten back with an Ex after it's done?

o very good question!??_. wonder why no one is replyng...

oh i keep in touch with my exes??_

jp??_ i really don't.

i used to keep the communication open, and i'd call every so often to say hi, etc??_ but it all ends up fading into nothing anyways.

there was one ex that i got back together with after a year apart, but that went out the same way it had before.

😛

no i really don't anymore. i used to, but over time i realized there wasn't much point to it.

my exes aren't interested in being my friend and more importantly??_ as i move on, i think it becomes questionable why i'd want to maintain friendship with an ex when i have a boyfriend. i would hate to make my bf uncomfortable.

any relationship i've ever had started off as strangers. it's not like i was friends with any of my exes first, then got into a relationship.

Thanks CreepyPants 🙂

I have one ex from about 30 years ago. We re-connected about three years ago as friends only. Nothing romantic at all. It's more like a comfortable friendship that is honest, kinda like a confidante thing. He's by best male friend. Good for advice on all manner of subjects and he listened and was there for me when I was going through my divorce. I even set him up with a friend of mine.

Usually if things break up smoothly, then I don't mind being friends with them. I just don't talk to them or hang out with them anymore. So, it's like yeah, we're friends, but we don't ever talk. I guess it's more there's no hard feelings and we're friendly if we run into each other. Of course, with capricorn, once you're our friend, you're ALWAYS our friend (unless something drastic happens and we don't want to be your friend).

There are some people that are good people and just because the relationship didn't work out or I decided I didn't have romantic feelings, doesn't mean I'd cut them out of my life forever. Sometimes, the chemistry just doesn't work and if the break up is mutual with no ill will, then why not be friends. They have good qualities so, why shouldn't you be friends with them? If there are no romantic feelings on either side, then there won't ever be any sexual tension and a true friendship can develop. But, like creepy said, I wouldn't want my bf to ever feel threatened or uncomfortable.

Then, there are exes who I wish to never, ever see or talk to again. Those are the ones where the break up ended badly. I can harbor a grudge for a long, long time.

Don't know if I helped or not. But, I'd say it depends on how things went down when the relationship ended.

Thanks for your insights truecap! 🙂
