    Of course and of course not. This isn't a one size fits all answer.

    There's no such thing as 'never' when it comes to the range of human emotions and what they are capable of.

    Isn't there a 1980s song that says it's possible?

    I am very close friends with a couple of my exes. They have since moved on and got married. I truly believe we were in love but sometimes relationships don't work for various reasons.

    It's a matter of being an adult about it and accepting. However both people need to accept it otherwise it can turn toxic very fast.

    It also depends on who your ex is and what kind of person they are. You can be an adult all you want but if your ex isn't mature or sane enough then it won't work.

    I'm friends with my ex because (1) I have no reason to seriously dislike her (2) we have two children together.

    Im not the argumentative kind of person anyway, staying on friendly terms is the path of least resistance.

    No. From recent past experience, I don't believe they can.

    It all depends on the individuals, the relationship, the break-up etc.
    I don’t think I could be "besties" with my soon to be ex-husband but I can certainly be cordial.

    Nope. I don't hate my ex's, but I can't be friends with them.

    I'm friends (but not terribly close, which is unfortunate) with one ex. It can happen, but it's rare.

    Yes. My boys dad and I are actually really good friends, always have been.

    Comes over for Christmas morning/thanksgiving dinner/football game bbqs.

    When my second husband had an affair & I needed to leave our family home, he allowed me & all my kids to have his apartment, and he stayed with his gf.

    It's better for us, and for the kids that we are friends.

    And, he's a decent human. No reason to not be his friend.

    Some can. Some can't.
    But telling your new girlfriend that an ex you now consider a "friend" because you two are better off that way. Yet, when you met your new gf you still had her titty pics is your phone makes this very questionable.
