Prompt – Do you remain friends with ex-boyfriends/girlfriends after you break up?
—
Breakups always make me sad. I always think I can stay friends. It never works out. The ones I wind up bumping into later on, I am able to be civil with, but the friendship and the trust are gone.
Whenever I have been in a relationship, I have fought to keep it, if only to avoid the inevitable loss of a friend should it fall apart. How about you?

I’ve only ever broken up with someone once in my life, my first girlfriend. (I married my second girlfriend and am engaged to my third. I don’t get around much.) My first girlfriend was pretty miffed at first because I assumed we were already broken up when I asked my second girlfriend out. I hadn’t seen her all summer and she never returned my phone calls, so I assumed she’d lost interest. Guess not, at least not once someone else showed some interest. We finally talked it over and decided we weren’t really into it, and went our separate ways. We did return to being friends, but I kept a respectful distance because I didn’t want my then current girlfriend to get the wrong idea.
