Are you still friends with any of your exes? (thelemmy.club)

My ex "K" just broke up with me. She said she would like to still be friends, though, and since the breakup was friendly, I gladly said I was fine with that.

I have had three serious relationships prior to my current one and I have lost contact with all of them.

None of the break ups were all that messy. In two of them we just grew bored of each other and the third one ended because I moved.

I never bothered to keep in touch with any of them or reach out to any of them. When it is over it is over.

I don’t see how I could downgrade the relationship to a “friends” level.
