Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : People always tell me about how they keep in contact with ex BF or GF and stay friends. I never understood this because if anyone I had a strong relationship with suddenly stopped being my friend or having a romantic interest in me, I stop any sort of contact or relationship with that person for the rest of my life. It seems weird to be friendly with anyone I used to be romantically involved with and it hurts to talk or be friends with them. Am I the asshole if I don’t want to be “friends” or “keep in contact”?
