SHOULD ONE REALLY STAY FRIENDS WITH THEIR EX?

For some, there are no such things as bad and good breakup, and barring a really awful breakup, Exes have no reason to not be friends after they’re done dating. We have seen and heard of people keeping a very closely knit relationship with their exes. Some even have their phone numbers and have them around their new partner, but I ask, is that sort of relationship healthy for both parties?

I have always believed in one thing, and that is, that the moment you’re really done with a person, let them go. No keeping in touch, no hanging out, and certainly no introducing them to the new partner. My reason for this is not difficult to understand. There’s nothing as dangerous and threatening to an existing relationship than an old one. When you keep in close contact with your ex, one day flames will get rekindled. It’s nor even a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. And the moment you go that far, your new relationship starts to suffer. It sounds a tad too extreme I’m saying this, but it’s the truth. You cannot say you’re uninterested in something, and still keep them around you, trust me; you’ll get involved with them again one day, if you do.

It’s all good to keep good relationships and friendships, but personally, I think that when it comes to exes, this rule shouldn’t apply. Stay as far away from your ex if you break up with them, you’ll ruin your new relationship if you do not. And sometimes, you don’t even get to find another love because you’re still stuck in the old one. This is why I have chosen to live by this principle; if we’re done, we’re done, no maybes, no what ifs, and I hope you start thinking like that too.
