Is staying friends with an ex ever actually a good idea?
We say we want to but I don't know if it's smart.

Only after a real gap with no contact, and only if neither of you is secretly hoping. 'Let's be friends' the day after is just a breakup with a delay button.
Take 6 months of zero contact first. If you can be in a room and feel nothing romantic, friendship's possible. Straight from breakup to friends never works.
