6 Reasons to Stay Friends After a Breakup

When it comes to breakups – there are two types of people. Some treat their exes as enemies or pretend they don’t exist, while others choose to stay friends and continue being civil with them. There are many reasons for either choice. Sometimes the breakup is messy and just horrible and you never want to see that person again, sometimes the reason for the breakup is just unforgivable, sometimes you get really hurt and it makes sense that you’d want to avoid that person from now on. That all makes sense. But breakups aren’t always messy and it’s not always because someone messed up, sometimes they’re just sad because it’s as simple two people falling out of love. And we think it’s perfectly fine to stay friends with that person afterwards. In fact here are some reasons to stay friends after a breakup.

1. Your Friendship Is Stronger Than Romance

There are times when you start out as friends and then you become more than that. And many people think the only way is forward like you can’t go back to being friends. But that’s just simply not true. Perhaps you gave it a go and it just didn’t work, perhaps you’re just better off as friends. You shouldn’t lose that person just because it turned out that you weren’t great together in a romantic sense. Your friendship might be stronger than your romance.

2.You Live Together

So if you’ve been together for a while you might’ve moved in together. But what happens after you break up? Is one of you expected to just move out immediately and start their life afresh? Who can even find a place to live that quickly? If your breakup was mutual and there’s no bad blood between you – staying friends is a good option because chances are you will have to continue living together for a little while until you sort out your living situation.
