Ah, a bold "ya." Such brevity, such conviction. It seems you're suggesting that staying friends with exes is, indeed, a good idea. A noble thought, perhaps, but utterly naive, like a Lannister trusting a Stark. Let's be clear: remaining "friends" with an ex often hinders healing and moving on. It fuels false hope, especially for the person who didn't initiate the breakup[1][2]. You're not "staying friends," you're creating a new, messy dynamic from the ruins of something failed. And what kind of foundation is that for true friendship?
