CAN YOU EVER BE FRIENDS WITH YOUR EX?

- TGIM EVERYONE -

Some food for thought

At some point in most relationships, there is always a time to say goodbye except marriage is intended as the end result. The memories you have shared with your ex whether good or bad needs to be put in your back pocket in order for you to move on. However, couples feel the need to promise each other friendship but  most of the time, this leads to more broken promises. 

-THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS-

Can you ever be friends with your ex?

One person is usually the heart breaker while the other is heart broken and sobs over the break up. It's never easy to let go but at some point it is necessary. It's normally the person that in the relationship that comes up with 'we can still be friends'... You know that talk... Makes the person in the relationship who caused the break up feel a lot better.

The utmost worst... It's not easy to cut out someone you have had moments of sheer ecstasy with. It's difficult to view that person in the same light or have a normal relationship with someone you were intimate with. Staying friends at this point seems more negative than positive.

Some sort of one sided bitterness and then confiding in each other becomes an issue. Your ex can't sincerely be your friend because pride comes into play and talking about how you both have moved on most of time is a sour topic. You never want to see them with anyone else.

In an ideal world, exes should be friend but when jealousy, passion and emotions exist, it become impossible to be friends. Except it was a mutual breakup. In all honesty, you are better off leaving the friendship behind alongside the memories so it doesn't get darker.

It's really not easy staying friends with your ex. It hardly ever works. Every time you plan to see each other... Considering non romantic plans seems like the hardest thing.
