“Staying friends with your ex means you never really loved them”
Agree
- Real love can't just transform overnight
- Usually means someone's still hoping
- Easier when feelings weren't that deep
- Clean breaks are healthier anyway
Disagree
- Mature love can evolve into friendship
- People genuinely enjoy each other platonically
- Not all breakups are dramatic
- Throwing away friendship seems wasteful
