Staying Friends After A Breakup: Can You Actually Make It Work? by AshAZomor(op): 3:21am On Jul 14, 2018
If you break up on good or mutual terms, wanting to remain close makes sense. But is staying friends after a breakup really a good idea?
Breakups suck, especially when you still care about your ex. You do not want to part ways forever because you get along and are connected.

But is staying friends after a breakup a good idea?

It depends.

Where you friends before you started dating?
You might be wondering why this matters? But if you were not friends before you started dating you may have nothing to grasp. Cutting out the romantic feelings and staying in each other’s lives will be more difficult if you didn’t have a basis of friendship at the beginning.

It will be easier to find common ground to base a friendship on without romantic feelings if you had that before.

Do you have mutual friends?

It may be easier to reconnect as friends if you have a mutual friend group. This way you can get into a routine of seeing this person in a platonic setting. You are both more likely to feel accountable for your actions after a breakup as well.

When your friends know the situation, not only can they help make the transition easier for you, but wanting to keep the drama and jealously to a minimum for their sake may help you get along better.

Is staying friends after a breakup what you really want?

You might think, of course. This person is important to you. You don’t want to lose them. But do you stay friends because you feel guilty for something?
