Have you ever tried to rekindle a friendship with an ex?

I'm just curious.
I know many will say that it's a waste of time but I do wonder why we are often so cut throat.
If substantial time has passed and you are decent people accepting the boundaries making it a platonic relationship.
Why can't you be friends?

I often feel that a person that's been that intimate with you, will now be past all the "giggles and awkwardness" and just see you. Especially if their intentions are good.

In my humble experience, both parties have to want it, own up to their parts that made it bad, sincerely apologize to the other and have grown from the experience enough to not only forgive but also want the best for you at all times. You will still need the boundaries you already stated and keep it platonic..(imho) Mine has been successful for roughly 15 years now and I feel very blessed to have her as a best friend and can talk about anything.
Good luck, take your time and don’t rush it.
