Breaking up sucks. Trying to be friends with your ex can be even more torturous.

Here are 5 good reasons why you shouldn’t be friends with your ex.

1.It’s going to be hard to move on

You’re trying to move on with someone else, they’re trying to move on with someone else but there are still some feelings between the two which is making it hard to move on.

2.It’s not fair to them

They may have gone through the same emotions that you went through after your break up and may not really want to be friends.

3.It’s always awkward whenever you’re with mutual friends

So you used to hang out with your friends when you were together but now the two of you hang out as just friends with your mutual friends. Right.

4.It’s going to really suck when they move on

Just when you think you’ve finally figured out the whole being friends with your ex situation and then they finally move on to someone new.

It’s like going through your break up twice.

5.You will go through that phase where you’ll want to get back with them

They say you never really stop loving someone but just learn to live without them. Trying to be friends with an ex after you break up can bring up some old feelings that you thought you’d gotten rid of.
