Dangers of Being Friends With 'the Ex'

Hey lovely people,
Been a minute but we are back.😁
In this video, we answer the question - Is it ok to be friends with 'the Ex'?
We highlight some reasons why one chooses to be friends with the Ex:
1. There is a false hope that the relationship can be rekindled even though 'the Ex' in question has now moved on to a new relationship.
2. During a 'break up', the initiator says "we can still be friends" and this is (most of the time) just out of pity.
3. Many want to keep the 'friendship' with 'the Ex' for a selfish gain (sexual, material or financial) i.e friends with benefits.
4. Some want to keep tabs on 'the Ex' and literally monitor their every move and relationship life.
5. Sometimes, 'the Ex' is part of a wider friendship circle and it may be difficult to avoid them.
We also highlight some dangers associated with 'friendship' with 'the Ex' :
1. It is difficult to move on to the next.
2. The 'friendship' can cause a strain in a new relationship.
3. There may be an unintentional comparison between 'the Ex' and the next.
4. The friendship is not 100% genuine. It is difficult to relate with 'the Ex' without boundaries.
5. An Ex cannot be trusted to give good advice especially one relating to relationships or marriage.

Ope baby you're looking "takeaway"... and in one of my favourite colours!

Keeping an Ex is a dangerous gamble, you guys are 💯% correct.

Ayo my former UNILAG class mate, good to see some of us growing in Christian faith. Thumbs up

If your door analogy represents your heart, then leaving the door to your heart open leaves you vulnerable and insecure (pun intended). Lol. I've been binging on your videos not necessarily for the topics but because you guys are so funny! Love them.

I wish my current girlfriend would watch this video. What you saying is so true, I want to share my personal experience on this too. We almost broke up with her because of her EX, whom she entertained, and the EX started intimidating her, threatening her that if she does not come back to him, He will kill me. Surprisingly, she was so scared and she told me about it, and I was so angry because she was asking me what should we do to protect ourselves, yet she was the one who kept him closer to her.
