A testament to how great he is? Or is “just friends” actually code for “we’re still banging?”<\/p>\n
The best part about our exes is that without them we wouldn’t be the people we are today, which, of course, can also be the worst thing about them, too.<\/p>\n
Whether or not we like it, our exes, although our past, can still be a very present part of our lives, even if we haven\u2019t talked to them in years. We may be through with the past, as they say, but it doesn’t mean the past is through with us.<\/p>\n
But for some people their ex isn’t just a ghost that haunts them, but a real live person with whom they still have a close bond and friendship. To those who can still be friends with their ex they deserve a huge “kudos!”, but what about their new partner? How do they feel when the past just won’t go away?<\/p>\n
We asked a few women their thoughts on men who are still friends with their exes. We asked a few women their thoughts on men who are still friends with their exes. Is it a testament to how great he is? Or is the phrase “just friends” actually code for “we’re still banging?”<\/p>\n
Out of sight, out of mind<\/strong><\/p>\n “They might be ‘friends,’ but I don’t really feel like being in the same room as someone who has also seen my significant other nekkid and isn’t his mom. Probably not code for ‘still doing it,’ but it’s unnecessary. I will throw in an exception for high school group of friends, because some groups passed each other around like a game of hot potato,” says Nicole, 33.<\/p>\n “I’m still friends with one of my exes, but he\u2019s an ex from college and there are no feelings there at all. My\u00a0boyfriend<\/a>\u00a0has never met him and has zero interest in doing so, because he feels he might get jealous. I guess I’d feel the same way if my boyfriend were still friends with his exes \u2014 as long as I don’t have to witness the private jokes and\u00a0intimacy<\/a>\u00a0that’s still there, it’s OK. But he doesn’t keep in touch with any of his exes, so I don’t have to worry about it thank god,” Jennie, 29.<\/p>\n It’s all about trust, and lots of it<\/strong><\/p>\n “I never hang with my ex so it’s hard to imagine… but how I feel about it depends on the relationship I have with the guy. If I have a solid one then I will be comfortable having my boyfriend staying close friends with exes. I would basically put my whole trust in the guy I am with, it’s just easier on my mind that way, and I am sure is better for the relationship,” says Mieko, 35.<\/p>\n
