Never, I’ll only ever talk to them if they reach out first.
I have, once, when it was my fault we cut contact. Otherwise there is no point.
At this stage all the time. My (ex-)partner and I haven’t formally divorced and we’re looking to move into a new place together as roommates. Not the most common thing, but we just get each other very well after almost half a lifetime together?
Very rarely. I’ve always had a difficult time maintaining friendships with exes in general, they usually end up crossing boundaries in the guise of ‘friendship’. If the relationship was healthy and we ended on good terms, random check ups every once in a while don’t hurt, doesn’t really matter who initiated it, I don’t keep scores. But if the relationship was toxic, you always have to tread a very fine line.
