Should you be friends with a ex?

[BruhMayne]

Nope. I tried to with my most recent ex cuz I thought it was the grown up thing to do. But it's just more trouble than it's worth and better to just leave it in the past.

Only idiots who will still smash are friends with their ex.

Stop being sim-card nikkas, always holding on to the past

thats immature tho. i could sit down and talk with any of my exes. because im not butthurt about it and i know i was the best they ever had.
​

its not that its me being butthurt but whats the point in talking to someone you're no longer with? personally, i know i would still have feels during the friendship so there's no point in me putting myself through that mental anguish

that's my point. you still have feelings and go about it the immature way. i get it tho, whatever works to keep you sane.

no one is saying you gotta be friends but to pretend someone doesn't exist when you see them is silly to me. you can't give someone that kind of power over your emotions.​

i don't see why not, I'm friends with most of my exes im not the bitter type of nikka

....I treat everyone like that though. LOL. I don't care for him and he has no power. It was a mutual breakup
I don't understand what you're getting at. The same thing I'd do to him, I'd do to an old co-worker or even my neighbour I've know my whole life. Nothing immature about that lol.

Friendly with complete transparency in your current relationship, but not friends.

And I only will entertain being friendly with them once it is clear we both have moved on. Until then, it's hi and bye.

Life is too short to waste energy and valuable time on those who are not in your life any longer - like @montpelier stated - it doesnt mean she (or I - I think this way too) wishes them death or ill will, just there's no point to having them as your friend.

Girl, that's the best coping mechanism ever.
