#246: When Is It a Good Idea to Be Friends with an Ex? (Ask Steph)

In today’s Ask Steph episode, we’re exploring a common question: is it ever a good idea to be friends with an ex?

While staying connected can sometimes feel comforting after a breakup, it’s not always supportive of healing or moving forward.

In this episode, I share some key considerations to help you assess whether a friendship is a good idea, or whether it might be keeping you stuck in old patterns, attachment, or hope.

We discuss:

  • Why the desire to stay friends after a breakup is so common
  • When friendship with an ex can work—and when it’s likely to be harmfulSigns you might still be emotionally attached or holding onto hope
  • The role of boundaries, space, and healing after a breakup
  • How to assess whether a friendship is aligned with your long-term wellbeing
