Staying friends with your ex might be hard, but it isn’t impossible if you follow these simple commandments. Neeti Jaychander lays them out for you
Friends with an ex, say what? Before you gasp at this strange phenomenon, hear this. When Hollywood actors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck broke up, Affleck said in an interview, “Jen’s great. She’s a great person. We’re on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that’s the reality that I live in.” Garner, on her part, went on to say, “He’s still the only person who really knows the truth about things. And I’m still the only person that knows some of his truths.” Celebrity status aside, Garner and Affleck are just one of thousands of couples who have managed to stay friends with each other. While for most couples, breaking up may seem like the end of the world, there are many who also remain amicable with their ex-spouse or ex-boyfriend. Yep, you heard that right. And no, we aren’t lying! This, however, is not without its share of challenges. If you’re planning to go down this road, take an oath to follow these commandments and you’re golden.
