phone a friend?

Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour recently broke up after six years of dating. BUT they still talk to each other daily, according to articles like this one.

Does anyone else think that's weird?

Even if you break up amicably, I think exes should have a no-contact period. Otherwise, if you're talking daily and still relying on the other person as your primary support net, you might as well be dating.

Sure, you can just be friends. But with daily contact immediately following a breakup, there's a good chance one half of the relationship is operating under a belief that the romance can be resuscitated.

After a breakup, how long should you wait before pursuing a friendship with an ex?
