Guys who are still on good terms with their ex, what’s it like?

I’ve become good friends with one of them since moving back to my hometown. We hang out once or twice a week. We’re both seeing someone and there’s nothing romantic between us, but it’s nice to have a friend who knows you that intimately.

I think the biggest factor in us being able to be friends is the amount of time that’s passed since the breakup. Last month I told my most recent ex that it was too soon for us to be friends because I still had feelings for her and she lost her shit at me (though, emotional stability has never been her strong suit).

Being friends with an ex can be extremely healthy provided enough time has passed.
