5 Reasons Why You & Your Ex Should Never Be 'just Friends by Nobody: 12:00pm On Aug 01, 2015 |
Breaking up with someone is almost always hard, especially if you are not the one who initiated it. A common line used to lessen the pain of heartbreak is saying, “Let’s be friends”. However, no matter how close your relationship was, being friends with your ex is almost never a good idea. Obviously, there may be certain individuals with whom you could be able to develop a close friendship even after being in a relationship with them. But such people come by only once in a blue moon. Trying to be friends with your ex can not only be a potential disaster, but also emotionally draining. Here is a look at some reasons why it is a bad idea. 1 – You Still Have Feelings For Him/Her Yes, it probably does seem obvious, but it is also really important. If you have any romantic feelings for the other person, staying friends could be a bad idea. You may try to reignite the fire at some point, and this could lead to more heartbreak. Remember exactly why you had broken up. Even if you are being completely platonic, there is no guarantee that the other person is feeling the same way. 2 – It Could Get Really Awkward Friends tend to talk about almost every single aspect of their life with each other. Talking openly with your ex could get awkward really quickly. If you can’t discuss your life with the other person, is there any point in striving to maintain friendship? 3 – You Don’t Really Want to be With Anyone Else When hanging out with your ex, there is a very good chance that old feelings will come back to the fore. You may find yourself wanting to restart the relationship. You may not want him/her to date someone else either. True friends want happiness for each other, and you may not have that feeling with your ex. 4 – Mixed Signals When you were dating, you would have shared a number of inside jokes, nicknames and other pleasant memories. By being friends even after your relationship has run its course, you may fall back into your dating patterns, even though the romantic relationship has ended. This can be confusing for either or both of you. 5 – Limits Romantic Potential If you are still hanging out with your ex, you could find it hard to find someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved. Think about it: would you date someone who is constantly spending time with someone they were in a relationship with? Plus, this may cause issues with your current spouse as well. 1 Like 1 Share |
