hot take- why is there such a stigma behind ex’s “coming back” or talking to ex’s again, not everyone’s ex is evil and in any other type of breakup like friend breakup it’s realistic to one day speak to eachother again, i never understood

for reference my ex and i had a lala land type of moment a few years ago and we just recently spoke again for the first time in awhile cuz our lives ended up taking different plans than we originally had at the breakup and possibility is realistic again. but a lot of ppl will say like “noooo omg how could you talk to ur ex again ahhhhh” but like we had a beautiful relationship and our lives ended up taking the similar paths over time like why not😭

real as FUCK i hate how black and white people think. situations are so so so nuanced and it’s perfectly healthy to grow seperately and then come together again

I’m still good friends with three of my exes because we talked things out, made amends for where we each made mistakes, and recognised that we were not going to work out as a couple but could as friends.

i actually noticed it’s becoming super stigmatized for friendships as well which is honestly fucked up

NO LITERALLYYYYYY like everyone preaches growth then when ppl have growth and want to reopen a chapter with someone suddenly the growth isn’t accounted for because it’s not a brand new person it doesn’t make sense
