Is it possible to stay friends with my ex if we were really good friends before dating? I don’t want to lose our friendship

Not healthy in most cases. Best to move on if there is resentment or lingering attraction. Don’t lie to yourself

I’m friends with my high school boyfriend and I know ppl won’t believe me but it’s genuinely not weird at all. We were great friends and then started dating but decided we were better as friends 🤷‍♀️ been friends for a few years now

I’ve done it but I think it depends on how you broke up and how heartbroken you both are

Yes but you just have to end things in a mature way and also recognize that things may be different after/ the friendship may not be exactly the same as before.

How long before one sided feelings come in, before you can’t take hearing about her new prospects anymore. There’s a chance but you need to be ready

In that case try to find a way for it to work… but I haven’t had it workout in my past. Wish you the best on navigating that minefield tho ❤️
