April 22
I really am in awe with those people who make it look so easy to stay friends with your ex. And it's not that it's hard even because they know you really well and you have all these memories and inside jokes and stuff. But it's awkward because you have to think through everything before you say it.
Don't talk to much about the new boyfriend. Check.
Don't ask too many prying questions about his dating life. Check.
Don't forget to ask about his family. Check.
Don't talk too much about yours. Check.
Stick to surface topics like work, school, the news, but don't talk too much about the war and things you're both afraid of because if you do you might end up talking more about your relationship and what went wrong or what might have been. Stick to the surface topics but say just enough so that the conversation doesn't feel surface. This is how we survived lunch.
Screw finance, maybe I should just write a book called, "How To Make Nice With Your Ex (Who You Cheated On)". Yeah!
Bruce and Demi got nothing on me and Mike. We're pros at this now!
