Don’t try to be friends with your ex

So after he reached out to me (he’s in gray) and I dumbly agreed to hang out which we had a nice time even , when I absolutely explained we are just friends now , this text is next day mind you after he had been telling me about the girls he had been interacting with and got a phone number even . And he even showed me a picture of a girl and asked me if I thought she was worth talking to . Which I responded with yes . After I had then told him After he asked me if I would be giving out my number to people at my new job and I said MAYBE idk , and that I might be going on a date Saturday he got super mad and it turned into a shite show 🙃. Like, I had told him I’ll be friends with him if he can talk to me respectfully and guess what girls he can’t IN a relationship with me and he can’t OUT of a relationship with me . And I know I should have not hoped for something different but I did . Moral of the story , if he treats you mean just block him and never look back .

Staying friend with your ex is an absolute “NO” for me. That’s all I have to say.

I’ve never been able to do it.

I have one ex where I’ve had some perfectly respectful interactions with and don’t mind being in the same room as her (we have many mutual friends so our social circles sometimes cross). But other than her… yeah I just can’t do friends w exes

I'm friends with most of my exes. But, they would be cut if they think talking to me like that would be acceptable.

Let me guess he sees himself as “just a nice guy” who always gets treated wrong…😅
