It always amazes me that people are able to stay friends with their ex's. This sometimes causes new bf/gf troubles. (you'll go back to them, you still love them). My ex husband abused me verbally and sometimes physically. I stayed because my children were too young and had no way to support them and myself. The only thing I don't regret is our children. When he was seeing two women, I thought it was a good thing to become friends. He mistook this as interest and so...

I now have a couple of men friends that I'd dated but didn't consider them to by boyfriends tho' both kept swearing they loved me. (ho ho)

I didn't hate the time I spent with my ex boyfriend. Would not have stayed with him so long if there hadn't been good times. But I regret that I got involved with the lying, two-timing cheat. It's no fun being used by a man. We were friends once, so tried to part friends with him. He's done some things since, that make that impossible.
