I think that it happens a lot, but... it's hard to say whether it's a good idea or not. I've slept with an ex after breaking up before. I didn't really have plans on getting back together with her, though. I would guess that the majority (>50%) of times this happens it doesn't end up with a re-kindled, happy, long-lasting relationship, though. That being said, is that really the most important thing?

Normal? Yes. Good idea? Subjective.

Personally, I'd say no. But I have heard that this has helped someone's relationship and they have got back together. Still not my thing though.

i stayed friends with benefits with an ex of mines after dating for 6 months , i think it's normal in a way that you and your partner to experience each other in a different position other than girl/boyfriend .

i had seen my ex in a very different position as FWB , we actually got along better ! it all faded after we found ourself different lovers , but we still stay friends and honestly seem like nothing ever happened between us , it's a matter of time that it fades and it's just a fun experience , but is totally normal !

I have never heard of people breaking up with the intention of getting back together?
Why break up at all?

FWBs just means that one on you is still attached and can get hurt when the other really moves on. I think that if they are an ex that's it!!

Bad bad bad! Idea... Trust me been there done that ended horribly... It makes it feel like u rnt even broken up... And if u hav the intentions of getting back together really think about y ur breaking up in the first place... I deffinatly don't think getting back together is a good idea... U break up for a reason... And breaking up usually dosnt fix anything... Iv been through this and it really sucks... If I wer u I wouldn't do it

You need to file for alimony and when you're done with your FWB you need to file for divorce then get very drunk. Life is actually more about money than actual love get, give and take money. A bunch of fiscal business. Love is parsley.
