  • Summary

  • A lot of us try to convince ourselves we can be friends with our ex in the immediate aftermath of a breakup, but is that necesserily the best idea? In 2022 I did an episode with my ex-boyfriend talking about how a friendship was totally possible, well since then it is obvious to say that I have changed my mind, and in this episode I give my reasons, including:

    • Why we (mistakedly) try to stay friends with our exes
    • The types of relationships where this feels possible
    • The consequences
    • How it impacts our new relationships, self esteem, and ability to find closure
    • How to be friends with an ex if you MUST BE
    • Essential boundaries for a friendship with your ex

    This episode is the only time I have redone/revised an episode so we hope you enjoy.
