Digs in the crate
If you desire drama in your life……Just stay friends with an ex, there are exceptions to every rule, but generally being friends with an ex is a horrible horrible horrible idea. I cannot fathom any circumstances where it is constructive unless you have reached the summit of peace where you can witness the ex with someone else and without an ounce of jealousy, bitterness or selfishness in your heart feel ecstatic for them and vice versa.
Reasons to never be friends with an ex.
1. Liberation of their guilt.
No one wants to be the bad person in any situation and an ex may still care about you in some capacity, so by offering friendship and you accepting the diminished role in their life the weight of guilt they feel in making that decision to dump you is lifted.
2. Just in case….
Just in case things don’t work out with the new John or Jane Doe, having the safety and security haven of an ex that in their mind is still waiting for another opportunity. So by keeping you around as a “friend” if the grass is not greener then the….Hey remember our first date when you made me laugh type stuff starts to regurgitate.
3. Encumbers the natural healing process
By continually being “friends” with an ex the seed of hope which destroys the progression of healing continues to be watered and grows. Hey my ex text/phoned/ smiled at me that must mean they still wants me. When in general that is not the case, it’s the equivalent of starting on the 11 yard line in football, heaving an 89 yard pass for a touchdown but it being nullified due to a holding penalty that is ten yards and having to now start at the one yard line. Every time you think are getting ahead, feeling good the seed of hope pops up and you end up in even a worse spot than you were before.
To wrap it up as I always like to say people who I call friends have never made me feel disconsolate nor have they demoted me in their life. Life is already too short for any added further drama or stress. Just because someone dumps you does not make them a bad person nor do you have to hate them, they did what they thought was the best decision for their life, now it is time for you to do what is the best decision for your life.

Like why even still talk to that trash after that?
