from what am reading. sounds like it depends if there were kids or not. if there are children, its best to try really hard to be friendly or at least civil. there is a big diference between being 'friendly' and being 'friends.'
if have a difficult controlling ex but theres kids involved, its time to put up a fake front and not fight back. be nice but unattached and not get drawn in. its not your problem if their still angry or acting nutty. dont get involved. their an ex, remember?
if no kids, its a total choice to talk or never again. but if there are any leftover feelings on either side, its not good idea. gonna stay stuck and someone will hope to get back together. very tuff to move on. been there done that.

I think it would be tough to be friends after you break up depending on how long you were together. Over a year or more then it would be tough, because intimate feelings you both shared as a couple would arise everytime you saw each other. Some breakups end peaceful and mutual but still i think it would not be a good idea to remain friends. Especially if you started dating another girl, while maintaining a friendship with your ex. I think it would make the new girl uneasy. I wouldn't be comfortable if i started dating a girl who was good friends with her ex. Has nothing to do with insecurity or jealousy on my part, I just know that just because they aren't in a relationship anymore doesn't mean that feelings for one another aren't still there.
