Break up. Can you be friends?

Many couples broke up with the sentence "We can be friends."

But the question is, who wants to be your friend? 🥺

Check yourself if we're ready to be friends with your ex

1️⃣ Still feel anything?

If still expecting to be possessive

Still hurt when he saw someone new

🚫 shouldn't be friends.

2️⃣ want to be friends, or just don't want to lose him.

Ask yourself directly

"Want to talk because you miss or just fear of emptiness?"

If it's the latter = rest first. ✋🏻🛑

3️⃣ Talk and be calm or broken.

If every time you talk,

Back sad, thinking, questioning yourself.

🥺❤️‍🩹 that friendship is not fair to our hearts.

4️⃣ It's true if he has a new boyfriend.

If just thinking that picture is cork

The answer is clearly not yet 🚨

Not being friends doesn't mean being mean, but respecting your feelings. 🫂

... Read moreการเลิกกันกับแฟนเก่าแล้วสงสัยว่าเราควรเป็นเพื่อนกันต่อหรือไม่ เป็นคำถามที่หลายคนมักเจอ หลังจากผ่านช่วงรักหวานแหวว มาถึงจุดที่ความสัมพันธ์ต้องจบลง สิ่งสำคัญคืออย่าฝืนที่จะเป็นเพื่อนถ้าทั้งสองฝ่ายยังมีความรู้สึกที่ยังไม่ได้คลี่คลายหรือเจ็บปวดอยู่ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเองเคยพยายามที่จะรักษาความสัมพันธ์แบบเพื่อนไว้กับแฟนเก่าที่ยังคงรู้สึกเจ็บปวด สิ่งที่เจอคือยิ่งพยายามติดต่อกลับไป ยิ่งรู้สึกทุกข์ใจและเจ็บใจมากขึ้น โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเห็นเขาคบกับคนใหม่ ความรู้สึกหวงหรือคิดถึงยังวนเวียนอยู่ในใจ ทำให้ความสัมพันธ์ที่ตั้งใจจะเป็นเพื่อนกลับกลายเป็นสิ่งที่ทำร้ายจิตใจตัวเองแทน ด้วยเหตุนี้การถามตัวเองอย่างจริงใจว่าทำไมเราถึงอยากเป็นเพื่อนกับแฟนเก่าเป็นเรื่องสำคัญมาก คุณอยากเป็นเพื่อนเพราะคิดถึงเขาจริงๆ หรือแค่กลัวความเหงาหรือกลัวสูญเสียใครบางคนในชีวิตถ้าเลิกรากันไป เมื่อใจคุณสงบ ไม่เจ็บปวดเวลาคุยหรือคิดถึงเขา และสามารถยอมรับได้ว่าถ้าเขามีแฟนใหม่ ก็เป็นสัญญาณที่ดีว่าคุณพร้อมที่จะเดินหน้าต่อไปอย่างมีสุขภาพจิตที่ดี แต่ถ้าคุณยังตอบไม่ได้หรือยังรู้สึกเจ็บปวด ลองพักใจและให้เวลาได้เยียวยาตัวเองก่อน อย่าปล่อยให้ตัวเองต้องเจ็บซ้ำซ้อนเพียงเพราะ คำว่า "เป็นเพื่อนกันได้นะ" เพราะจริงๆแล้ว การไม่เป็นเพื่อนไม่ใช่การใจร้าย แต่คือการให้ความเคารพกับความรู้สึกของตัวเองและเป็นการเริ่มต้นฟื้นฟูใจเพื่อความสุขในอนาคต สุดท้ายนี้ การเลิกกันและเป็นเพื่อนกันได้นั้นไม่ได้เหมาะกับทุกคู่ และไม่มีสูตรสำเร็จตายตัว ทุกคนต้องหาจังหวะและเวลาที่เหมาะสมกับตัวเอง รวมถึงซื่อสัตย์กับใจตัวเองว่าพร้อมหรือไม่ นี่คือกุญแจสำคัญที่จะทำให้ความสัมพันธ์ในอนาคตไม่ว่าจะในรูปแบบใด ๆ เป็นไปอย่างสุขุมและดีต่อใจทุกฝ่าย
