Friendship with an Ex: Can You Really Be Friends?
In the new segment 'Batom na Taça', Livia Matos and guests explore whether post-breakup friendship is possible or pure fiction.
Donas da Voz's new segment, 'Batom na Taça', kicks off by debating a controversial topic: friendship with ex-partners. Livia Matos, Marília, and Kelly share their opinions on whether it's truly possible to maintain an amicable relationship after a breakup, or if it's just something you see in movies.
Donas da Voz has just launched a delightful and super relaxed segment: the Batom na Taça! Livia Matos invites her friends for an unfiltered chat, where controversial and spicy topics are discussed. For the premiere, Livia welcomed Marília and Kelly to uncover one of the biggest questions in the female universe: after all, is it possible to be friends with an ex?
Friendship with an Ex: Myth or Reality?
The million-dollar question that sparked diverse and entertaining opinions: can you really be friends with an ex? One of the guests was emphatic: "In a soap opera, absolutely!" making it clear that, for her, this friendship is pure fiction. "No, no, I can't," she added.
Livia then raised another question: what about a casual fling – can you maintain a friendship with them? Initially, there was a "yes," but the discussion quickly evolved to a "No, not even with a casual fling," showing that the line between friendship and a romantic past is fine and often non-existent.
Time As a Decisive Factor
Amidst the laughter and firm opinions, a more thoughtful perspective emerged. One of the guests suggested that friendship with an ex is possible, but with one primary condition: time. "Only time, right?" she stated. Livia, with her characteristic humor, jokingly added: "Yeah, after he's in his grave!" drawing laughter and reinforcing the idea that such a friendship, if it happens, takes a lot of time to mature and detach from the past.
Even with the possibility of time, the nuances of each breakup and personality were highlighted, such as the challenge of dealing with a "crazy ex" who can complicate any attempt at friendship.
