Disclaimer: Well, anyone can befriend their past lovers, and I am not a bitter person or something, but this is purely my thoughts, that exes should not be friends.
In love affairs, few relationships didn't make to work it out, there are some reasons why and usually it leads to break ups.
Some people are capable of being friends again with their past relationships, they try to forget all the bads and stay with tbe goods, especially when their breakups were mutual or they were friends before they dated, it's up to them of course!
Try to ask yourself..
Why do you want to be friends with your ex?
Love is the reason as simple as that. Because the feelings are still there, that's why sometimes you try so desperately to remain in your ex's lives, yet it is actually the reason you should not.
When you know in yourself you could get into trouble and do things you know are bad for you.
Here are the reasons why cutting ties with your ex is the better option:
Chemistry doesn't Change
When you and your ex lover had a strong connection and so intimate, always remember the chemistry between you doesn't always change.
How can you be friends again when you had a strong and intimate love affair from that person. Maybe you'll become "Ex with Benefits" , later on.
Holding back for a New relationship
When you're stiil friends with your ex lover, sometimes that will hold you back from accepting a new lover. Making you to loose and find someone new who's better than your ex.
Can ruin New Relationship
This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't be friends with your ex. When you find someone new and build a relationship, how can you say to your new lover and what would he/she will feel if one of your closest friends was your ex? I bet you don't want to make your new lover feel uncomfortable and jealous. The same goes when your ex have a new relationship. Maybe you don't want to be the reason for their relationship to be destroyed.
Making the same mistake twice
Moving on is a hard part of breaking up. If you're still be friends with your ex, you'll probably can't move on totally. And you could give your love another chance. It's good if it works but if not, you're just making the same mistake twice. Letting yourself to be hurt again.
Sometimes the want of staying to keep in touch with your ex is normal, lots of people have been through that. If you two wants to remain civil go for it, there's nothing wrong with it. But if you're hope was getting back together and give your relationship a chance, then that's another story between the two of you.
These were only my thoughts about friendships with an ex.
