imagine talking to someone for MONTHS and then they say they like you and you disappear because you felt vulnerable even though they did nothing wrong but then you still remain friends with your EX that hurt you is insane

Being friends with an ex is possible, but only when the breakup was respectful, both people are fully emotionally detached, and there are clear boundaries. If there was disrespect or lingering attachment, friendship usually isn’t healthy yet.

what if the roles were switched and you were the one who hurt them, but you still wanted to stay friends with them?

Thats like saying that your friends with someone that back stabbed you so you accept that type of behavior and still would be in contact with that person 🤷‍♀️ REALLY ????

i think it depends on how you treat your ex. if you’re treating your ex like they’re still your best friend — constantly texting, facetiming, and hanging out like before — that’s where it starts becoming a red flag. but i don’t think it’s automatically bad if you keep respectful boundaries with an ex just to keep peace. like maybe texting on birthdays or holidays, or checking in once in a while like “hope you got that job you wanted” or something simple like that.
