10 Reasons to Not Be Friends With Your Ex

Breakups are messy, painful, and complicated. Trust me, I’ve been there. After my last breakup, I wrestled with the idea of staying friends with my ex, thinking it might ease the pain. Spoiler: it didn’t. Instead, it kept me stuck in a cycle of emotional confusion, reopening wounds every time I thought I was starting to heal. In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey and the hard truths I’ve learned about trying to stay friends with an ex. We’ll talk about emotional baggage, blurred boundaries, and how clinging to a past relationship can hold you back from true healing and personal growth. I know how tempting it is to hold on, but sometimes letting go is the most loving thing you can do for yourself. If you’re asking yourself whether you can be "just friends" with someone you loved, this is for you. I’ll unpack why moving on is about reclaiming your peace, how self-care and personal growth can transform your life, and why you can’t fix someone else’s healing process. This isn’t just about breakups—it’s about learning to choose yourself. It’s not easy, but you’re worth it.
