In this video, Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist, relationship therapist, and men's dating coach, discusses the complex question of whether staying friends with an ex-partner is beneficial.


She emphasizes the importance of identifying one's goals and intentions for remaining in contact with an ex.


If the goal is to move on and find a more compatible partner, maintaining a friendship might hinder personal growth, healing, and the ability to find true love.


However, if there's a mutual desire to rekindle the relationship, staying friends could be feasible.


Dr. Mari advises against staying in touch if it only serves to prolong the healing process or if it's unrequited.
