Becoming friends with an ex can be a tricky process, but it often happens gradually. For me, it started with open communication. After the breakup, we took some time apart to let things settle, but we realized we still had a lot in common and enjoyed each other’s company.
We began by checking in every now and then, sharing updates about our lives, and slowly rebuilding that bond. Making an effort to keep things light and setting boundaries helped us navigate any lingering feelings. We both valued the relationship we had and came to appreciate the friendship that could exist without the romantic elements.
Ultimately, it took time, patience, and a mutual desire to maintain a positive connection. How about others? What helped you transition to friendship with your ex?
