Why It Doesn't Make Sense to Stay Friends With Your Ex: Don't Waste Your Time

Trying to maintain a friendly relationship with an ex-partner may seem innocent and always seems like a noble impulse.

But it's unlikely that anything will come out of this venture, much less anything good. And all because friendship has its own rules.

Experts have explained why you shouldn’t leave your partner a single chance after a breakup.

Reason one

One of the partners can use the other. This happens when the relationship was toxic and someone felt sorry for the other.

The abandoned partner may be pursuing material gain, personal goals, or something else.

The second reason

Having parted in a less than peaceful way, that is, having learned something not very pleasant about your ex, it is unlikely that you will be able to smile at this person when you meet in the future.

Then why drag old suffering into a bright future?

The third reason

But most importantly, mixed feelings for your ex will make it difficult to meet new people. You can lose your bearings, your idea of what you want in a new relationship and what you can expect from an old acquaintance.

In short, even a noble attempt to save your ex from loneliness, help find a job or listen - all this is a waste of time.

Just ask yourself why you need it and give yourself an honest answer.
