Most people will tell you yes, you can be friends — but they leave out the part where someone usually still has feelings, someone usually wants more, or someone is only staying close because letting go feels too final.
Being friends with an ex isn't impossible, but it's rarely as clean as we convince ourselves it will be — especially when the reason you broke up hasn't actually been dealt with.
Sometimes "we're just friends" is the truth. And sometimes it's just the story we tell ourselves because "I'm not ready to lose you completely" is too hard to say out loud. Share your thoughts below — have you ever successfully stayed friends with an ex, or did it always come with complications?
What do you think?
Your words might be exactly what someone needs to hear.
