When a relationship ends, what's the best thing to do?
- Try and be friends with your ex
- Go your separate ways
I'm friends with all of my ex's. I don't know how it's worked out so well -- I think we were all friends first, so we can be friends again even if the timing isn't right. Of course, my relationships have all ended for reasons that wouldn't cause me to outright break off the relationship -- no infidelity, no incredibly unforgiveable lies, etc.
And I can't imagine being with someone that wouldn't accept that I'm still friends with all of them. Because my relationships have all ended for "not the right person, not the right time" reasons, which means we're friends. Period. No hope of getting back together. In my mind, they're simply friends, and no more risk to any relationship I had than any other friends.
