Some intimate relationships actually started with normal friendship and then Gradually progressed to an intimate relationship.
Most times in this kind of relationships if there is a break-up. It’s usually difficult for both of them to remain friends.
I feel that if the intimate friendship does not work then you Guys can go back to being normal friends, that is if the cause of the breakup was not toxic

One day you'll have issues with your partner and go to your ex for emotional support, they'll then start manipulating you into believing that your current partner is not good enough for you, that you deserve better just so they can have that one more hit.

And before you know it, you guys will start sleeping together more frequently... Once your partner finds out and dumps you, there are high chances that the ex will also walk away and claims that he or she was just having fun, nothing serious.

Lol, I personally find it so weird...

I don't do no Texting of Exes if she initiated the breakup.

If she has wanted me so bad, why the breakup? Infact I take the breakup so serious so as to have an edge over her later. ..

I was recently served breakfast, well I laughed over it lol coz she's expecting we become friends or some sort...

Wtf does that mean?

not all relationship end badly... all of my exes, we are in very good term... the thing is when you're in the game, you'll learn to invest less and emotionally detach yourself from bullshit... you'll see things before it actually happens so you'll prepare yourself... once you sabi the dating game wella, you nor go dey put things for mind
.. just enjoy the ride for the time you guys are to be together... no hard feelings...

all my exes are good with me, in fact, if dem invite me to their wedding I will go... but that doesn't change the fact that they are still X... If you put the relationship for mind too much and didn't prepare for a breakup and all of that, na when the thing go dey pepper you say make you nor follow the person talk again... but when you don understand, you'll learn not to take life too seriously..

sometimes when you even show them you don't care and all that, it even pains them the more.. when you show zero emotions and act normally after breakup, it hurts them the more... I won't block you, if you call, I won't cut your call... but I will show indifference to you... in fact, you might even recommend a customer for me in the future... everyone has a reason why they stopped talking to a particular ex but generally, the ones who feel hurt the most are the one who has unnecessary expectations for their partner... If they know you blocked them and all that, dem to know say the breakfast pain you wella... see ehn, when you don Sabi the game, statements like "I want a breakup, I want a break, I need space" nor go move you ajeeh... na you go dey happy sef say your wahala don go... because you had nothing to lose in the relationship...

Immaturity.

You don't have to end a relationship with a fight or bitterness. You can come to terms with your partner that you guys are not compatible and end it amicably.
But when one or both of you are not emotionally matured, you will become bitter enemies after breakup, or end up cheating on your current partners.

So you can allow your woman to be in communication with her ex
In August 2020, one of my exes( she's also my sister's god-daughter) came over to her place for my niece's birthday . It was during lockdown, so anything past 7 in her area, you won't be able to get a bike again. She spent 2 nights at her place. The 1st night( the night before the birthday), I was able to avoid her by sleeping at a friend's place. On the night of the birthday, because of the party and all, I couldn't move early and by the time I decided to leave, I was unable to get bike.... I slept on the sofa in the sitting room while she slept in 1 of the rooms, later in the midnight, she came to wake me saying she saw a bird by the window and that she couldn't sleep alone in the room. After much argument, I followed her to the room.... a lot of shit happened(but no sex, I was asking out a girl then and I didn't want to cheat on her, lolz), we didn't sleep till morning.... Later in the the morning, she told me she was getting married the following month!!!

The opposite of LOVE is what?

HATE.


That's why they can't be friends again.

QED!

It's not only ex one should avoid but also every close opposite sex, having opposite bestie in relationship is a fertile ground for marriage/relationship failure, infact, ex making it time disaster.

Such lady I pity her future husband, provided she would stay long in marriage, I see her as pendulum that swinging forward and backward as air blows.

I am still friends with most of my exes but I don't agree u guys should be having sex. It's wrong. This is the origin of paternity fraud and everyone is to be blamed for this, not just the women
