Has anyone else’s ex that you decided to stay friends with ever send you mixed signals? If you confronted it, how did it go? If you didn’t, how’d you cope? I’m struggling… I haven’t said anything yet because I don’t want to ruin the friendship we have.

The constant back and forth and mixed signals will always be there because you’ve seen them in a romantic way. In my opinion I think time apart then friendship later along would be more beneficial as you’ll slowly forget what made you romantic with them in the first place.

I feel like we should’ve done that from the start. Usually everything is fine but then they make a joke about us in a way that could imply romance or something but it could also be just a joke… I react neutrally but then I go home and overthink it later. It doesn’t even really happen that frequently but when it does it can be pretty draining.

Just hard because they were my only closest friend…. Have been trying to make more friends but they aren’t often very interested in hanging much? Idk 😭

Girl same, he was literally my closest person. But that what makes it hurt even more. Give it a month apart. And if you want explain to him why, I want to move on and I don’t want to constantly have you as a reminder of us.

Yeah and that’s how it goes. You’ve got to cut those jokes as soon as they happen. Don’t let him block your blessings 🤷🏾‍♀️

We sorta had a couple months apart… still messaging because we were both still in love but it was very minimal and it got less and less as those months went on. The rest of the months that followed was because we didn’t have a choice so we rebuilt our friendship.
