I've only not stayed on "friendly" terms with the big relationships that ended - one was an April Aries (heartbroken), one was a Cancer (totally mismatched and glad to be out of it), one was a Gemini (ex husband)... all the rest I've stayed in touch with - we don't like bad feeling, or a bad ending. So we try to stay on friendly terms with exes. Works sometimes - other times not so much!!

Omg wow o agree they love being friends with exs smfh. But let you be friends with yours thats when a jealous streek hits them. But dont assume its all bad either etc your the new woman now ex is the past dont worry if they friends or not. My only issue with my current libra is them telling me they wjll akways b friends with their current ex....and no one is changing thst like thats rude. If ur current girl has a problem dont make her feel uncomfortable. If they r treating u right dont worry about exs...if they mess up its their loss. I dont have problem with my partner being friends with ex...i only have a problem when im not getting attn and your communicating with ex smh

I don't see it as a big deal, I talk to some of my exs still , they check up on me I check up on them and its all good. if things ended on good terms then, I don't see the need to cut off all contacts with a person ive gotten to know for a quite long time. if they are nice, why to act like they never existed? the only problem is that we were incompatible in relationship which has nothing to do with being friends.
100% agree...at some point, you were friends before you became lover's and even though the relationship is different, I don't see why you can't remain courteous to someone you once dated or possibly loved. Life is too short to be carrying around animosity. Not saying you have to best friends and talk every day of your life, but if an ex reaches out to you for whatever reason and there's no hard feelings between the two of you, why can't you still communicate from time to time?

I hope all you understand you will never meet and settle down with a loyal and mature partner. If your partner is okay with you talking to your ex then she/he is doing the same thing as well. Enjoy your 4some!
This is simply not true. People can and do part ways and remain amblicable. Doesn't mean they are your bestfriend but they are definitely more than an aquaintance since you once dated them. Typcially there wil be a period of time to deal with stuff/any issues but jesus why toss someone away that at one point and time you truly cared about?

Maybe it's my age but i have zero issues with a man i am dating having some contact with an ex.. as long as there is still no whatever between them. That's called trust and not holding someones past over them.

Every Libra guy (not girl) I have known keeps in touch with their ex. They just say they like being friends, especially when they were with that person for a while. Meh, I know it doesn't sit well with their current GFs, it drove my cap best friend up a wall.
He still continued to talk to her even thought his girlfriend didn't like it? Wow

Yeah, well he was like you need to be liberal about these things, why do you think there's only one thing going on between a man and woman? And being herself, wanting to seem liberal, she let it eat away at her....

Yeah, maybe you should try a more compatible sign. ☺ I see posts with you putting down or speaking ill of Libras when all you have to is walk away if it's not working.

Which is funny considering her recent post about dating Libra dudes, as if she totally understands.

...yet she turns around with this stuff. It's always been hot/cold in her situation. I think the Libra relationship thread was another denial phase on her part again. It comes in waves...

You don't know who this post is about, if it's about a libra friend of mine or libras in general. Let's stop pretending that we know everything now, rocky.

MT, consider that Taurus is the physical expression of Venus while Libra is the mental, to oversimplify it. (Simplicity of course being necessity when. communicating with T energies.)

Where a Taurus might see the memory of a delicious piece of sex, a Libra may simply be interested in a stimulating or otherwise pleasant conversation or opportunity to ponder ideas with another mind that they appreciate in a non-sexual way.

Honestly I'm a libra and I'm totally with you on this. I find it so disrespectful when a guy/girl still talks to exes when in a relationship. I think it definitely causes the partner a lot of discomfort. I would hate if my partner was still talking to an ex. I would end that quickly.

I find it shocking that other people think it's ok. Especially libras. I've always made it clear from the get go that I wouldn't tolerate exes in the picture and that I would never speak to mine either.

Is it wrong to demand exes shall be cut off while pursuing a committed relationship?

Absolutely not. I would say it straight up and tell him you're not going to tolerate lingering exes and if he doesn't listen or throws a tantrum about it cut him off. I say this because sooner or later down the line it could potentially become an even bigger issue and cutting off now will save you heartache.

Really? Then why so pissy and upset over a friend who keeps in touch with an ex? What does it matter if it's just a friend?

Yes. Unless you see blatant attraction still going on, you have no room to waltz into ANYONE'S life and demand they make changes for you when you're the newb.

You're just viewing the entire thing like some high maintenance hoe, tbh. "Now that I've graced you with my presence in your life, you have to make these changes if you want me to stay around because I don't like it and it affects my fragile ego."

Your insecurities with someone's past is YOUR problem, not theirs. As long as there aren't any boundary issues or the ex trying some shit, who cares?

if my partner started dictating who i could see and who i couldn't then that could become a bigger issue down the road. it's controlling. if someone cannot control their own emotions properly, i'm certainly not going to let them control me.

Not true it could have been they tried it out to find out it didn't work n are best as Freinds.

You're just make excuses now. I'm not talking about a casual affair where they tried it for a month and it didn't work. I'm talking about a legitimate gf or bf of a number of years

Rocky, do you still keep in touch with your libra exes?
Yep. We're still FB friends and chat once in awhile and see eachother at parties/gatherings. But we also have the same circle of friends, so yeah.

There's one I don't bother with but because he's a toxic freak.

It really does depend on the situation, tbh. If things are amicable and neutral, there's no big deal. I understand if there's discomfort because they're all over their ex and in touch aaall the time. There's clearly residual feelings if that's the case, which is what I was saying before- unless there are boundary issues in the relationship, aka not respecting your relationship and keeping the ex heavily involved when it's not necessary, then I can see the reason for pissiness.

But friends on social media? A "hey, how's it going?" once in awhile? Bfd.

My Libra ex tends to never really delete exes and hook ups off of Facebook, as strange as it is. Even his last girlfriend/now ex and she cheated on him and hosed him for money for her drug habit. I think the only instances where he doesn't have them is if THEY deleted him or he really hated them or some shit. Who knows. Libras are whatever with social media. They tend to add and add and add...

They're all about avoiding friction if possible, which is why I think you see so many who keep in touch with exes in some way, shape, or form. They're notorious for "but we can still be friends" with zero intent on actually being friends, but keep the illusion there for the sake of avoiding conflict. And like I said before, I know of way too many who are opportunists and keep people around as options for whatever they offered, whether it be connections or sex.

So sorry you dislike being told to shut the fuck up. You're being insecure and irrational and it's stupid. Utterly stupid.
