My ex “K” just broke up with me. She said she would like to still be friends, though, and since the breakup was friendly, I gladly said I was fine with that.
I’m still in touch with my first ever partner after almost 8 years after the breakup. I still very much love them, but not romantically though, they’re a person i wouldn’t want to miss in life!
BUT even with them we only started being friends about 2 years after the breakup. I can say for myself my dumb ass wouldn’t be able to process that emotionally at an earlier point.
My last partner blocked me everywhere, but considering the circumstances i can’t blame them. We were both bringing out the worst in each other and the shit life threw at us was just too much to handle - depression, cancer diagnosis (i really hope they’re doing well) & financial troubles.
so it depends on the case.
Nope, they was abusive and controlling to me. I’m glad I did dump them via texts
I have had three serious relationships prior to my current one and I have lost contact with all of them.
None of the break ups were all that messy. In two of them we just grew bored of each other and the third one ended because I moved.
I never bothered to keep in touch with any of them or reach out to any of them. When it is over it is over.
I don’t see how I could downgrade the relationship to a “friends” level.
Ended a 16 year relationship a couple of months ago. No hard feelings, still friends. It’s easier that way :)
