QOTD: “Friends with your ex-lover ... is it possible?”

Brooklyn, NY

Exes can be friends, it just depends on a few things...

“That's a great question. Um, I think it depends on the couple and the maturity of the two people involved and why you broke up. Um, I have two, like, exes. Um, I'm very good friends with one, and it works totally fine because we both respect each other's boundaries. We respect the other relationships that we are in, and we broke up pretty mutually, just because we, like, had an understanding that our futures weren't going to align, ever. We both wanted very different things from life, um, but he's still one of my best friends, and, like, I can honestly say that because we're both mature adult people who talk about things and make sure that our boundaries are clear in our friendship as well. Um, but I also have an ex that I do not speak to because he cheated on me, and we done. I'm Sicilian American. That doesn't fly. You don't come back from that, ever. Um, so, I think the answer is, it depends on the two people involved and maybe why they broke up.”
