All staying buddies will do--should you not reconcile--is keep you from moving on. Doesn't mean you have to be nasty, but it does mean you need to establish healthy boundaries.
Funny you should mention this. I contacted an ex for the first time in 5 years today. I said right up front I wasn't looking for a romantic relationship or even friendship, saying "vulnerable people should have strong boundaries". I just wanted to see if there were parallels in our breakup to my current sitch.
I did 6 years ago. Why is it too much harder now? (Rhetorical question)
