Day 6 of yapping about something random

And today's topic will be "is being friends after dating a real thing?"
Honestly, no hate for the people who are still friends with their ex, but its not for the weak.
Yesterday I met a friend after yeaarrrsss and we were catching up on our dating history. And well, i told them about how there was a phase where i was friends with my ex and it was a lowkey nightmare.

Firstly, I dont understand the concept of seeing someone who you LOVED and were intimate with, just as a friend. Like yeah people say "marry your bestfriend" or "your partner should be as close to you as a bestfriend for a smooth marriage" and i'm all in for that, but it doesnt work the other way round in my opinion. Because, bruh, you've been physically intimate with them 😭 isnt that enough of a reason? Personally, for me it is and trust me i'm not trying to force it on anyone, i'm just here to yap about whats on my mind 😔👍🏽

But yaar, think about it. At least as per my experience, it was just being in a relationship without explicitly saying "i love you" or "i miss you" and stuff like that. But of course it could be different for everyone and unfortunately in my case said ex was a m*n so ofc there were a lot of ups and downs during that entire phase.

My point is, from that entire relationship of 1.5 years and then friendship of 2 years after, my biggest lesson was to never ever be friends with your ex. Cause even if you actually have moved on, they might not have and ofc they'll lie about it and then it ends up complicating everything.
