Situations You Can Remain Friends With Your Ex by Abisoyee(m): 8:19am On Aug 06, 2014 |
Break ups are usually hard and most people find it hard to move on. Seeing face to face with the one that they once loved becomes a herculean task as the emotions may be too raw or may have been too deep for them to deal with and cutting of their exes seems to be the best available option. However, depending on the way you guys broke up and why you broke up in the first place, there are times when being friends with your ex does you more good than harm. Take these scenarios below as instances: Same Minds and Mentality: When your ex feels like your better half despite their many faults and they seem to be the only one that truly gets you, it is good to remain friends with them. It is very easy to remain friends with an ex that sex wasn’t a priority while in the relationship. Admit it, sexual tension is the major reason most people find it hard remaining friends with an ex. A Mutual Breakup: Mutual breakups are usually rare to find so this might seem a bit farfetched. One person is usually not ready for a break up and the person doing the break up might begin to feel bad and promise things like ‘let us remain friends.’But if you happen to be on the lucky side of having broken up mutually, then remaining friends is usually not a hard choice as none of you is holding hidden emotions. You Are Still Single and the Sex was Great: Like I said earlier, most people don’t want to remain friends because being in contact with their ex reminds them of what used to be. You both can chose to remain friends and have sex if it is a mutual decision and more so if you are single and lonely, then no harm done if you both hit the sheets again. However in doing this, don’t expect casual sex to necessarily lead to a reunion. Sex with your ex is retirement benefits; it doesn’t mean you are resuming the job. You Share Common Friends and Keep Running Into Each Other: It would do you and your state of mind much good if you remain friends with an ex that you have a lot of common friends with. The fact that you share friends simply means there are instances you would see each other or one of you will come up in a conversation. Bury the hatchet and draw in your sword, remain friends and do away with the hard feelings. You can’t begin to avoid all your mutual friends, one thing to always remember when you run into your ex is to remain calm. Practical Sensibility: Be practical, if your ex is in a position to help you later on in future, I see no reason why you should throw them away just because you two didn’t work out. Don’t let emotions override your reasoning, be calm and act rationally. For instance, if you just broke up with the boss, it would be good to remain on their good side, this may sound dirty but hello; this is life. Most of us hate our superiors but we still act like we love them, so why not remain friends with the ex as well? That is that about that, do remain with us and check out other relationship tips and articles that we have on the offer.
