Do I have to break up with his friends?

This topic was created in the Relationships forum by DMV on Monday, April 8, 2013 and has 14 replies.
So when you met someone and they introduce you to their friends and you love his friends and they love you back. When you break up with them, should you break up with his friends 2?
i ask because, i stopped seeing the sag but i like his friends! his friends are mad cool and they think im mad cool.
have you ever broken up with a person and also their friends/family? have you broken up with someone and still remained friends with their family/friends?
thats what im saying. he sucks but his friends are totally cool.
I would make a clean break. Unless you are interested in a particular friend of his?

nope
In my experience, you don't have to dump the friends, but they may dump you. Unfortunately.
Lost a lot of good friends when I got divorced because they were originally his friends, and I think they just feel awkward. They still keep in touch via facebook but I have not seen them since we split.

we all do run in the same circles and semi circles and i just dont want stop coming around because me and him didnt work out.
case in point, i was playing poker at a friends house and i realized it was right down the street from the sag's friends house and i was like "i should go say hi." and i did and they were really happy to see me and asked why i dont come around nemore. so i was like, why should i stop being friends with them?
im hypocritical in that, if he wanted to be around my friends...i wouldnt have any of it.
Stay friends... why not?? You don't owe him anything and if they're ok with it, go for it!

haha!!! samehere #ScorpMOON possession. That's why I don't introduce my friends. Unless he successfully fully enmeshed into my life. That VIP pass doesn't come frequent or easy it is EARNED.

i dont talk about what happened between me and him with them. so im cool right? who cares that he dumped me like a piece of trash and they dont know that their friend is the biggest duchebag ever. the rest of us still laugh and joke.. lol
Cordial, yes.
Homies, naw.
I am cool.
I never made friends with anyone I dated friends. I never thought we would make it forever so I didn't try to do anything too permeant.
It probably depends on the person. Some may feel offend others probably don't give a shit.

Not necessarily. Depends on the reasons you want to remain friends.

I have stayed in contact with an ex's friend, but technically, he was my friend first....so. Any other relationships, no. I prefer a clean break. If you don't exists, they don't either.
I would say friends are okay (if that is your choice), but family is off limits. You can't stay close with any of my people if we're done. Sorry. Find another family to adopt you.
