Three exes, friends with two, because thr third was an absolute ***** and I don;t ever want to see her again.
The other two, however, I'm good friends with and still talk to on a regular basis.

Forget about it and move on with your life. No, it's not impossible to stay friends with your ex, but you're already saying it's not working, so stop trying to make it work.Boba Frag said:
First off, it has to be a joint effort, which it apparently isn't from what you said above.
Second, she's not the only person in the world, you'll find other, better friends and if you've still got feelings for her, you'll just be miserable having to hang around her, getting away will help you forget about her faster and move on.
Yeah I'm really good friends with one of my ex's! I think it depends on how you ended it. We ended it on alright terms, even if she did sleep with a guy a week after we broke up haha!
Its possible.. But not right off the bat... When my ex and I broke up, we ended up in a class together a year later and became friends again... Just takes time..
Depends on what you were like before you started dating, how you broke up, and if you both feel as though you can go back to the previous friendship.
I doubt it would be probable to become friends with an ex that you really weren't friends with before you started dating.

Hell, I'm friends with my ex-wife. We didn't end the relationship all pissed off and bitter so we remain friends. Granted, we don't hang out nearly as much as we used to even before we started dating but we still do stuff. It all depends on the people involved and how things ended. Also, sex cannot be involved. If it's an ex and a friends with benefits situation, it's going to end poorly once one of starts seeing someone.
Well, it's a two way street. As long as one of you has feelings for the other then it won't work. But that's my experience, I'm no longer friends with one of my exes because he couldn't take the hint that just being friends did not mean that we were "fuck buddies". Basically, he wanted to sleep with whomever else he wanted and also with me. He couldn't even take a hint after I got another boyfriend. Needless to say it didn't work out.
If both of you feel nothing more than friendship for the other then it will work. But if you or she doesn't, holds onto some hope that the relationship will get fixed, that you'll get back together, etc. Then I say no. Either way it's really difficult.

I'm not certain as to why people insist on staying friends with their exes. The only time I've ever truly seen that work is if one of the people breaking up ends up changing their sexual orientation. There's no virtue in keeping your ex around. Maintaining a good relationship with her, though, is good. Check in on one another ever so often and being civil is great. But friendship? There's too many other people in the world who deserve your time.
I've had two girlfriends. I'm still friends with both of them. My second girlfriend and I had dated for about 3 years kinda on and off (but mostly on), and she's still one of my best friends today.
