ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH YOUR EX?

are you friends with your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend? i find this topic to be pretty interesting…

i’ve recently been dating, but i also have remained friends with my ex-boyfriend. and the new guy is also friends with his ex. which is a little strange for me, because in a lot of my past relationships we just went our separate ways in life and didn’t really maintain a friendship. (and in some cases never wanted to speak eveeeer again. ha.) but after being in a 5 year relationship that didn’t end badly at all, it’s hard for me to just cut that person out of my life.

so what are the boundaries for you if you are friends with your ex? do you have a period apart and then pick back up as friends? do you hang out often or only in group settings? talk/text more than once a week? are you cool with it if your current partner hangs out with their ex or does it make you feel worried or paranoid? i have to admit, i’m not totally on board with it, but i’m trying to be open minded. there’s gotta be a healthy balance, right? or is it totally off limits for you?

it can be a tricky situation! do tell…
