Depends on why you broke up. I personally would rather be friends than totally ex-communicate them, but sometimes you just don't want to be around them after the fact. Here are two of my breakups and why i chose to stay friends or not: 1- I stayed friends because not only were we originally good friends before dating, but we broke up due to her family not liking us together. Although I may have been upset at first I realized it's fun talking to them and really we got along fine so we stayed friends. 2- I did not stay friends with this ex because we broke up due to a personality clash. in addition, we had not been that close before dating so there was no good friendship base to go back on. Ironically I had all of my classes and even extracurriculars with them so we spent a lot of time even after the breakup together. Although we had to be in close proximity, that should not determine whether you should be friends with them or not.
In sum, if you can still handle their personality and talk with them then stay friends. If you broke up in a bad way or grew to dislike them then don't.
Depends on your situation. Usually, if both of you have a tough time with the break-up, I would suggest not seeing one another for a while before trying to patch things up.
