Today, I’m good friends with most of my ex boyfriends. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t just happen over night. These are people who were significant in my life and during our relationship, was my best friend. I couldn’t see myself throwing away our connection just because we didn’t work out romantically. So, after a long pause from each breakup and a lot of reflection, I was able to become good, platonic friends or be on good terms, at least.
Here’s if you’re wondering if you should or should not be friends with your ex. I’m curious of if you’re friends with your exs and what helped you with that.
Also, looking forward to your questions for me & the guest therapist for us to answer in next week’s episode!
As stupid as it is, we let God pass judgement on the exes. They pass their own judgement on us of course. Too bad our culture is such that for heroines there is always another man yet for men there is rarely another heroine.
Quite good, ninja caliber dating advice. Had a sorta relationship with a pretty girl for a couple weeks. At some point we both figured out that it wasn’t meant to last but I may have realized this first. Time apart, then we slowly started talking on Facebook, she went through a relationshit and then we got back together for a fling, as I had just got out of my own relationshit. And today, we’re still good friends. She’s married now to a really good guy and I couldn’t be happier for her… Still need to send them a wedding gift now that I think about it, I couldn’t make the ceremony…
Time can heal a lot, both a lack of it (initial relationship attempt was less than a month) and time apart to re-evaluate the situation. I suppose, good sex helps too…
One must be friend of Our Lord. Nothing else is important.
Yeaah
Had an almost 2 year relationship and it’s been almost a year since we split, I talk to her after some long quiet periods but I still don’t think I can ever be her friend, any notion of her with another guy destroys me and that ain’t a healthy way for a friend to be
Firstly, Vanae’s advice is accurate. You can only be friends with your ex once you lost that jealousy feeling. If you’re no longer jealous, it means you’ve accepted the fact that you guys are not meant for each other. Time heals all, some takes a few months while others take years. It all depends on how you end your previous relationship and how you, yourself are able to overcome it.
Friends with exes is tpossibl! With all this social networks available it is at most easy to regain that connection. I believe that it takes two vwry mature individuals to be able to keep that platonic friendship long after the romance ended. Definately the jealousy thing has to be over. my current bf and ex are good friends and we often end up at the same gatherings of friends. Both guys respect each other very maturely. Take Tilda Swinton for ex. she lives with her ex husband and children and has a relationship with another man.
