Breaking up with someone is almost always
hard, especially if you are not the one who
initiated it.
A common line used to lessen the
pain of heartbreak is saying, “Let’s be
friends”.
However, no matter how close your
relationship was, being friends with your ex
is almost never a good idea. Obviously, there
may be certain individuals with whom you
could be able to develop a close friendship
even after being in a relationship with them.
But such people come by only once in a blue
moon.

Trying to be friends with your ex can not only
be a potential disaster, but also emotionally
draining. Here is a look at some reasons why
it is a bad idea.

1 – You Still Have Feelings For Him/Her

Yes, it probably does seem obvious, but it is
also really important. If you have any
romantic feelings for the other person,
staying friends could be a bad idea.
You may
try to reignite the fire at some point, and this
could lead to more heartbreak.
exactly why you had broken up. Even if you
are being completely platonic, there is no
guarantee that the other person is feeling the
same way.

2 – It Could Get Really Awkward

Friends tend to talk about almost every single aspect of their life with each other. Talking openly with your ex could get awkward really quickly. If you can’t discuss your life with the other person, is there any point in striving to maintain friendship?

3 – You Don’t Really Want to be With
Anyone Else

When hanging out with your ex, there is a very good chance that old feelings will come back to the fore.
You may find yourself wanting to restart the relationship. You may not want him/her to date someone else either. True friends want happiness for each other, and you may not have that feeling with your ex.

4 – Mixed Signals

When you were dating, you would have
shared a number of inside jokes, nicknames
and other pleasant memories. By being
friends even after your relationship has run
its course, you may fall back into your dating
patterns, even though the romantic
relationship has ended. This can be
confusing for either or both of you.

5 – Limits Romantic Potential

If you are still hanging out with your ex, you could find it hard to find someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved.
Think about it: would you date someone who is constantly spending time with someone they were in a relationship with? Plus, this may cause issues with your current spouse as well.
