4 Reasons Why It’s A Bad Idea To Be Close Friends With Your Ex After A Breakup
1. It Will Hurt Like Relaxer On A Freshly Washed Scalp
No matter how strong you are, it still takes you time to grieve like a normal person. You’ve just lost the person you love. They don’t love you anymore or you don’t love them anymore.
Either way, trying to be close immediately after the breakup will cause you more pain than necessary. Give it some time and space. You owe that to yourself and your heart.
2. It’ll Make It Harder For You Both To Move On
Even if the breakup was a mutual decision, it’s hard for you two to move on. Insisting on being friends will make it even harder for you to put the relationship behind you.
This situation is usually worsened if one person probably didn’t want the relationship to end.
3. It’ll Annoy Your New Partner
Being friends with your ex will not go down well with your new partner. Before you say “he’ll just have to deal with,” put yourself in his shoes.
Would you like that?
4. It’s Just Unnecessary
The world is full of new people you can be friends with. Put the past and your ex behind you and move on. It’s not easy, but you can do it. We believe in you.
