8 Signs that shows you can still be friends with your ‘ex’!

Well it is quiet an orthodox culture, where a guy and a girl do not stay in contact after breakups, do not call each other ever again or even look at each other when they come across. The current generation is evolving and is totally planning to break the stereotype practices and barriers. It is getting popular nowadays to be in touch with your ex after breakups and people are really comfortable continuing the friendship. But that kind of relation is only possible when both people pass certain criteria.

Here are some things that you need to check before you continue your friendship with your ex:-

1. Both are at the same page

You need to be sure that the breakup was through a mutual consent. If it wasn’t, it becomes very difficult for that kind of friendship to sustain. One sided love, other sided friendship is a bad mixture and never ends well.

2. You both can tolerate each other’s presence

It is not new that people after breakup cannot stand their ex. So if that is not happening and you have no problem being in each other’s presence that’s your second cue.

3. You both are still updated about each other

Getting updated about each other is a sign of friendship and care which seems to perish after a break up. But if you find that among you even post break up you would find no problem gelling up as friends.

4. You are comfortable sharing

It is very important for people to be able to share their heart out to someone and if you feel that your ex is a valid option, do take it. He/she will understand your situation better than anyone else.

5. If your ex is still your best motivator and supporter

If he/she still acts as your motivator and supporter do not think twice, do offer a hand for friendship, as it is very difficult to find a person in today’s time who puts hi/her belief in you.

6. No flashback issue

It is awkward when you go on a flashback in a situation and it takes a toll on you. So be very sure that you both have got over everything related from your past.

7. Taking each other seriously

In a friendship after breakups it is very important to take each other seriously. It is obvious that you won’t treat the person with same importance but taking them seriously will boost the friendship.

8. No more jealousy

It is quiet certain for you to find a new partner, but that thing should not create a feeling of jealousy within your ex. It your ex is absolutely fine with it you can be assured that your friendship will long last.

Well these are basic pointers which you can follow while deciding whether you want your ex to be your friend and want to continue to be in his/her company.
