Advocate of friendship
Personally, I don't see anything with being cool with your ex. I guess I have three ex boyfreinds two from the high school days and one from college. The ex from college is the most unique of the three because we still talk all the time. I didn't talk to my ex's from high school right after the break up but after time passed we began to speak periodically just to say hello or whatever. Conversly, I would never consider hanging out with an ex or anything like that unless we're considering getting back together or something.
My ex from college and I still have mad love for one another but I believe we both know that if we were meant to be, now is not the time. We genuinely care for each other's well-being so we talk about once a week to keep up on current events. Although, we both realize that if one of us gets a significant other than the communication has to be cut because it's too threatening.
I am guilty of being one of those people that still talk to the family after the break up. My ex's mother and I are still really cool. She's just a real cool person that I can talk to with ease. She's really young to have a 23-year-old son (she's 38) so it's not even like it's his mother. It's like she's one of my girls. Weird, I know, but I do realize if he gets a new girlfriend (or is seriously dating someone) that that would have to cease because I know as long as I'm around she would not be receptive to any other girl.
That's my story :-)
