YES! I hate this idea of, once you’re in a relationship with someone the options are: you eventually get married, or it goes wrong and you never talk to them again. It’s a dumb game!

this ONLY works in heteronormative relationships. If I stopped talking to my exes I wouldn't have any gay friends.

This is something that queer people (broadly) do better than straight people. It’s probably a function of having a smaller dating pool and already being in nontraditional relationships, but I find that most queer folks are much more willing to be friends with exes and much more accepting of dating people who are friends with them. I’ve had two major long-term relationships in my life, and I’m still friends with both of them. They’re great guys or I wouldn’t have been with them that long. And I’ve found that the vast majority of guy I go on dates with aren’t fazed at all by that!

It’s all ego protection. People are thinking if they weren’t good for me it’s on them, and if I weren’t good for them then that’s also on them

I find it hilarious that people hate if you have an ex as a friend but they think it’s completely fine if they have a kid with someone. So people are OK with a crazy amount of contact (with someone they may still love) because it’s forced? It’s like a free pass but far more involved than simply being friends with someone. I think it’s just projection.

Were they really a narcissist or were they just trying to establish boundaries?

Being enemies with every single on of your ex's tends to be a red flag.

Honestly, yeah, because you're gonna have to get along with that ex if you have a kid. As an adult, you should be able to have emotionally regulated discussions even with people you disagree with.

I had an ex that the mother-in-law absolutely hated me mostly because I was the man that was with her son my partners sister absolutely loved me we had the best brother sister relationship when the so-called King and I broke up his sister and I stayed in contact for months this caused a great disruption between their relationship he told her that she loved me more than him which I was a better brother to her than he was. I broke off my relationship with her not because of him but because I loved her and I didn't want her to go through any pain. When their brother passed away I went to the funeral because I was friends with him as well but the king did not know that I was still friends with his brother because we kept that a secret between the two of us he had been in prison for something that he did not do I know this for a fact and I would visit him regularly until he was released and just after he was released the person that actually committed to crime ended his time on this Earth I went to the funeral at a respect for him and I love for him and for my ex sister-in-law. When the king according to him saw me he said what are you doing here I said your brother was my dear friend and I've been in contact with him ever since we broke up and I also wanted to see your sister and tell her that I still love her and miss her because of you. He was highly offended with what he did not know is that after we broke up his other brother who always looked at me up and down I had my way with him and when I say my way with him every way front back forwards backwards sideways and all around out of revenge but I never told the king that that is my secret to this day. Call me what you will but I'm glad in the afterlife now that the king is gone that he knows everything that happened!

I’m still friends w my ex of 7 years bc I’ve known him my entire life and was with him for SEVEN YEARS. if he didn’t do me dirty at the end and I was with him for that long it would reflect poorly on me otherwise

take a lot more people practice now with all these relationship podcast. I think it's so beneficial to have them even though they're so TOXIC.

. people need to start talking before they do harmful shit to each other, even if those words aren't nice, the information is necessary.

absolutely not. everything she ever said to me was a lie, and I have absolutely no interest in hearing anymore. I'm this close to just letting the money go

idk. I think you get over someone faster by totally disconnecting from them. its not about who is at fault its about committing to the choice to detach and move on instead of staying semi connected and hoping

You make a great point unfortunately for clout purposes I will have to read into this as uncharitably as I can to conclude you’re specifically telling victims of abuse to contact their abusers despite that not being even remotely the case I hope you understand
