Can Exes Be Friends?
Caleisha Braxton
Recently, I ended a year long relationship with someone I cared about. We did everything together (maybe that was part of the problem). We were thick as thieves, and best friends. After a few weeks of not talking I realized I missed the “friend” part of my boyfriend, so I reached out to him for a chat. We talked some things out and decided that maybe being friends isn’t so bad… or is it? It took some adjusting to. Like for example, if a girl is to text his phone I can instinctively say “Who is that?” like I have before. After a while however, that urge was gone. We talk every day, we see each other from time to time. The main thing we had to take away was getting back to hanging out all the time like we once had. I think it’s very possible for exes to remain friends, once you care about someone, you always will. It is strictly up two the people involved if they can handle going from romantic to plutonic.
