Ending a relationship on any terms can be painful, especially when you've invested a lot of time and emotional energy into it. In this episode I explore some of the reasons why you can't be friends with your ex due to circumstances and events that have happened. I also look at why it would be beneficial for you to at least have a friendly relationship because of certain situations that are unavoidable and children that will tie you to that person for a very long time. I talk about how important strong communication and setting mutually agreed boundaries would help to maintain the friendship.
