A few months ago I wrote a post about my past and how my ex came back in my life. Today I wanted to revisit this topic again.
My ex is in my life again and this time around his there as a friend. A friend that I'm glad to have. A lot of people when they read this are going to tell me that I'm nuts for wanting or even trying to be friends with him. To those people I'm saying hear me out.
Before he became my ex we were I guess friends, not close friends but we were friends, we lost touch for a while, we found each other, ended up together, things ended, fast forward to today and we are back to friends.
Why is this a good thing? Simple he knew me at a time in my life when I had big dreams and most importantly he and I shared something special, briefly before everything went to shit.
The important lesson I learnt in June when he came knocking was that he and I never had the proper closure, once we had that we were able to move past all the drama and come full circle back to friends.
My BF struggles with it but he respects and trusts me enough to be okay with us been friends.
So in this short post - be friends with your ex, be honest with your partner and if they don't trust you enough to be okay with it, maybe just maybe something isn't working, talk it out with each other and explain to them that friends are rare and sometimes the ex end up been the best of friends. After all they have no issues telling you how things are.
