You know its entirely possible to have an amicable breakup?

and even when it doesn't end well, the fastest route to healing and closure is to see the person again. These days it feels like so many people take months and months to get over a relationship and it's basically because they cut the person off completely, instead of having the tough conversation that leads to healing they just think about what they WOULD say for months on end.

If the breakup was amicable, why would you completely cut a person out of your life who you cared about? Not all breakups are bad.

Depends on the situation.

Unless you have kids, there's no reason for you to keep contacting that person.

It is hard to heal and move on if you are constantly reminded of them. Hard for you, not hard for many people.

It depends. I have exes who I remained friends/acquaintances with. Same with my wife.

If you were grown-ups in a grown-up relationship, where you treated each other with respect and love, there's no need for that. You just realize the relationship won't work out, and that's it. Sometimes you think you'd be a good match at first, but later realize you were wrong. That's sad and disappointing, but nobodies fault.

Depends on the type of relationship they had. I'm still good friends with my ex of 11 years.

If that is correct sure. I'm pretty happy I am in touch my x-wife. Her niece takes are of my animals. I also have a GF from after said marrige and we don't communicate at all, b/c that is the correct answer. The concept that this could be binary, is simply foolish.

It depends why and how the breakup occurs, imho. I mean, I don't really talk to my exes, or women I was at least really serious with. Women I've been involved with and intimate with but never was in a committed relationship, I still frequently talk to them even though I don't seek their company.

Yes. It's important for mental health to move on

I've been with my wife for 13 years now, and I I kept in touch with my ex of 5 years throughout all our time together. Hell, the 3 of us lived together for around 6 years and they are super good friends. This completely depends on the understanding and maturity of the break up and relationship.

Me and my ex had an amicable break up and we're still friends. She's even getting married soon and I'm happy for her. Your view is weird

by Boring-Flower 1 week ago

Totally agree with that !!!

Try co-parenting that way

You should be more concerned with your own break ups and way less concerned with everyone elses.

We get it you got dumped and don't have kids.

by hilmavonrueden 1 week ago

You're half right I don't have kids

Agree except the one exception is if you share child custody. You are forced to have some type of contact with that ex.

Of course

I'd wager 90% of the people disagreeing with you have never even had a relationship

The other person might not get the chance for closure. And feels ghosted. First making an enotional connection and then discarding them like trash is emotional abuse.

When 2 people break up they owe each other nothing.

This sounds more like a you problem. Two of my exes attended my wedding. My wife and I used to hang out with one of them pretty regularly.

I don't have a problem. I just don't live in the past.
