What would you think of a person who doesn't like to speak to exes again?

Yes, l would still date her for her honesty, but also keep a bit more of my heart on hold to my self as a precaution in case she [or you ]cut the bridges suddenly without having the awareness and social ,civility to care about my possible feelings that needed some mending with understanding from sharing friendship and common decency.

You would more do that to save and protect your own emotional feelings than for the recipient, as l believe they should have the choice and responsibility, to take care of their own feelings [or the chance to for best results for both that were attached.].

Tough question. On one hand, I believe you're right in that a break-up will always cause some type of rift that will be difficult to deal with. On the other hand, I've known many couples who have divorced but still treat each other with civility (or better -- in some cases they have a better relationship after the divorce).

Here's my two-cents worth: I don't think you should adopt the posture that you're never going to speak to any ex again, but at the same time you don't have to make a point of seeking them out. If you happen to run into an ex, talk to him/her and be civil. There's no rule that says you have to be friends or get back together, but you never know -- you may find over time that an ex has changed and you may decide you WANT to be friends or get back together. Sometimes the person is right but the timing is wrong...

Many exes who hate the sight of each other have to communicate at some level for the sake of their children. There are many different scenarios here but I presume you are talking about dating "exes" and not marriage "exes"

If by "not speak" you mean you would ignore that person and not say hi if you passed in the street then that is childish in my opinion. No harm in being polite but if you mean not talking socially ie chatting/texting then I agree, when you broken up with someone it is probably best to make a clean break otherwise if you stay friends the other person could get the wrong idea that you were still interested romantically.

It relies upon on whether you have been friends interior the 1st place. in case you began relationship from the get bypass, there extremely is not any factor in ultimate friends. opportunities are high, one or the two considered one of you will remind yourselves how sturdy issues have been in the previous, and all it takes is a drunken telephone call to get you back to a place you probably did no longer opt to be. Delete their extensive form, delete the pictures and for God's sake, delete any e-mails which you will possibly by twist of destiny hit "respond" to once you're unhappy. i'll declare, nevertheless, that considered one of my maximum suitable friends is an ex of mine. He and that i've got been friends for years in the previous we dated, and we only dated for a quick time, so it made sense that (after many months far flung from one yet another) we went back to friendship. it is all based on the persons in contact, yet i do no longer think of what you're doing is infantile. it is only a challenge if it interferes with your expert existence or different friendships.

i think it depends on the circumstances of the breakup and the people involved, if it was a really messy affair then your way of thinking definitely applies, but people are going to do what they want, I personally am acquaintances with some of my exes, not friends. We can be in a room together without awkwardness or fighting but we're not close or anything like that

No it's not childish. You have the right to talk to or not, be friends with or not with whoever you want to, including "exes".
