Can You Be Friends With Your Ex?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it a good idea to stay friends with your ex-partner or is it better to cut ties?

I am still in love with him, he still cares a lot about me but I don't know if he is in love with me anymore. I don't know how to live without him so I want to keep him in my life as a friend. Is this a bad idea?
