The first things you do when you break up with someone are defriend them on Facebook, delete their number from your phone, and delete their e-mails. Basically, cut off all ties.
But could you be friends with an ex? Without “going back there”? Or is there too much history?
How about just friends with someone of the opposite sex that you don’t find sexually attractive? Just someone you have similar interests with but nothing else. Until you go out and get drunk and wake up next to each other. Awkward.
At Watsons Bay Hotel our most lovable Mamamia personalities grabbed a beer to figure out the solution. (P.S. Rob Mills is happy to be friends with anyone.)

i dont have any real male friends but my Fiance has a bunch of female friends whom i adore. it's definitely possible!
Ex's i do not agree with though.
I do get that some people want to be friends with an ex, but I don't think it's generally healthy.
I don't want my ex to know a damn thing about my life. It was bad enough when I was married and had female friends, even female cousins who I was accused of shagging, when the reality is there was absolutely no sexual attraction and I wouldn't root them with millsy's dick.
So friends of the opposite sex are fine, and I've had them all my life, it's jealousy of partners that cause most of the problems.
It's really weird who we suspect our partners of fancying. It's never the ones you think.
I remember when I was quite a lot younger than I am now, there were a couple of girls who my boyfriend was friends with (some mutual friends included) that I felt I needed to keep a bit of an eye on. He also showed the odd jealous streak about some of my male friends, but they were never anyone to be concerned about, I had no attraction for them.
I know when one male friend did eventually catch my eye (not that I did anything, though he tried) that was someone my boyfriend had no inkling or issue with at all.
