   DH and I are really good friends with my ex and his gf (well we did only go out together for 3months lol!). And my only other ex is a FB "friend" but I'm not sure why because he sent me a message when my DD was 3weeks old asking if I could send him a pic of a cross stitch he did for me when we were together, and I emailed back with the pic and told him about Chelsea etc etc and he just wrote back "Thanks for the pic" and made no reference to anything else I'd said lol. And we haven't messaged each other since then (should check my friends list, he has probably deleted me for all I know   
DH doesn't keep in touch with any of his exes!

   Nope!
 My ex can jump off a cliff for all I care    He put me through hell. he lives in Aussie now, so I never see him. My brother is still in contact with him though, much to my disgust!

   My only ex is my high school BF and we recently became FB friends but don't particularly keep in touch apart from when we first came across each other on FB and did the "where are you now" spiel.

   I have one proper ex, who I had stayed friends with until I realised what effect it had on DH - he couldn't get passed what the ex had done to me (was pretty hurtful as people can be).
 
 Anyway, I deleted him off FB but will quite happily talk to him if we're at the same function - just don't see a need to be updated on his life or for him to know all about mine.
 
 DH's ex's/shags - well he is friends with one and she is a lovely chick, came to our wedding with her now ex (also army) and I love hearing updates about her kiddies etc. Depends on the person I guess and how the relationship ended.

   I was thinking "no , im not really friends with any of my exes ,nor do I keep in touch with them "
 
 Then just realised that duh , im friends with C's dad , and me and Dh see quite a bit of him and his wife, who I talk to more than I talk to than C's dad .
 
 We even stayed with them in Aussie

   Not with the guys I had long-term relations with, but I do have FB friend who I had a fling with    we've been friends for years and actually had to trouble remembering if we had been more than that 'friends with benefits' I think.
 DH keeps in touch with one of his ex's we went to each others weddings.

   No ex's on my friend list, DH has got one ex that he is friends with on facebook but never talks to.  Oh, and I hate her with more venom than I ever thought possible

   Funny a couple of weeks ago I just went to my ex's wedding, so obviously we are still quite good mates. Went out with him from 16-20 so quite a while however we were good friends before that and after the whole break up drama (him cheating but still being in love with me and not wanting me to move on) we just fell back into being good mates. I am quite good friends with his now wife as well which I think is a big factor in still being friend's with him I think if she or my DP where uncomfortable with the friendship it probably wouldn't exist.

   Thanks for all the stories - its good to know that people can be "friends" with people from their previous lives! I am in contact (infrequently) with one particular ex, but he lives in oz so havent seen him for over 12yrs. I was telling DH last night how nice it was that we could chat online and email each other with no wierdness or ill feeling. DH thought it was lovely, much to my relief!

   I only have one ex and he hurt me quite a bit with the break up..he basicly dumped me with no warning after having an awesome holiday....
 So while I still talk to him occasionally on MSN I would no longer count him a friend. Specially after I told him I was pregnant with my DP and he asked what I was going to do with it..ie abort or adopt out.
 He seemed shocked when I said I was keeping my little girl....
 Anyway thats my only ex and my DP has no exes (I'm his first GF)

   I was friends with one of my ex's.  I was happy for him when he eventually found someone to share his life with - but she couldn't handle my friendship with him and got all jealous.   
I shifted cities, but if it wasn't for that we would be still running into each other at sports events.
