What are your thoughts on the whole “staying friends with an ex” thing?
Sure, if the relationship had no passion and the sex was terrible, then fine. Have your bland thing go on as a sexless friendship. But if the relationship had any fire in it at all, it should be almost impossible to even see each other afterwards. So why would you put yourself through that?
Unless by friendship you mean ‘catch up with each other once every few months for a drunken fumble in the bar toilets’ and then in that case I say range operations GO!
Your pal, indefensible!
