How to be be friends with an ex?

You guys text eachother constantly but start taking more time away from that, a few more days would pass but try pushing away a little and take some space that way you set the friend boundary up. Then after a while, you guys should be talking often but not constanty. And if you want to stay constantly talking, try using that towards being close friends if you dont want to cut the other person out of your life completely.

Just make a truce. You will both act like adults around one another and not try anything. For a while you likely don't want to get too close and personal so I wouldn't recommend going out together as friends. (tried that once and well - me and the ex ended up back together for the night lol) Just stay level headed I guess stay around friends single friends are good dont go out with him and you and a bunch of couples.... From personal experience staying friends with your ex's sometimes works and sometimes doesn't but if you broke up on good terms with each other you should be ok. It's a good thing to keep them in your life especially if there are good memories and history. Good luck!

I think you should break contact for a little while, maybe a fortnight, to get some space and a chance to get your head together. If you've been together a while sometimes you start to sort of think as a couple and lose your sense of self a bit and you need to get that back. Take a bit of time to do things you can enjoy by yourself; hobbies you didn't share, food and music your ex doesn't like, anything you used to enjoy before you were together and gradually stopped doing.

Once you've both cooled down a bit and it's a little less raw you can resume contact on friendly terms but try to make it less contant and to meet as part of a larger group.

Stop texting that much!! it wiil become harder for both of u to let go if u continue texting

the thing is that its hard for exes to be friends and alot of the time it DOES NOT work out
