No…I guess it depends. Sometimes talking to your ex is a good thing. It kinda matters how the break-up was. If it was one of those dramatic ones…Then maybe not. If it was okay, not so bad then sure why not.

Probably. After all, you broke up for a reason.

Nah, I have to agree with Joy on this one. First of all, facebook is not a big deal. Getting in contact with someone on facebook really means nothing. I keep in contact with the most random people on facebook who I would never talk to in real life.
Secondly, I remained good friends with my last ex for ages until we naturally lost touch. And yes, it does depend on how the break up was. And it also depends on how you will handle it. Could it end up being a situation where you end up tormenting yourself and wanting to get back with him when it isn’t possible? Think about why you got in touch with him and what you hope to gain from it. That will give you your answer. Hope this helps!
