<p>Has anyone stayed friends with their dumpers after the breakup? How does it feel? (No, really, how does it feel?)</p>
<p>It honestly tends to depend on the personality of the person. Of course, I only know what happened with 2 ex’s, but not dumpers.</p>
<p>For my first ex, we ended up going out again. Then that screwed up royally.
For my second ex, we do end up conversing once in a while. It can feel kind of tense for me, though, since she’s the one that seems that she doesn’t actually care.</p>
<p>Really, many factors affect friendship with ex’s, mainly how the relationship was, how it ended, and how the other person’s personality is like.</p>
<p>My ex is my best friend. We were really good friends for a year and a half before we dated, but we were always really flirty and there was clearly a lot of sexual tension. So we went out for about 3 months. Then he ended it cuz it just wasn’t feeling right any more. Not gonna lie, I was pretty hurt and things were awkward for a month or so, but were actually closer now. I think that if the relationship came from a strong, genuine friendship, people can break up and still be real friends.</p>
<p>How does it feel? Really, for me, not awkward at all. It just feels normal, like it never happened. I feel even more comfortable around him, and we really got to know each other even better. Those are the only changes.</p>
Thanks! I got over it eventually after like a year.
