On this episode of The John Cash Show, I'm breaking down the age-old debate that starts arguments in every group chat:
can you be friends with your ex... yes or no?
I asked this exact question on Threads and got real, unfiltered answers from real people... some said absolutely not, lingering feelings make it impossible. Others said yes, because the love just changed forms.
I'm reading every response, adding my own hot takes, and giving you my final verdict on whether ex-friendships are healthy, delusional, or somewhere in between.
Inside this episode:
✅ My honest take on when being friends with an ex actually works
✅ Real audience responses from Threads... read and reacted to live
✅ Hypotheticals that are going to call somebody out (yes, you)
✅ Three stories about exes, coincidences, and situations you will absolutely relate to
✅ The one thing that determines whether an ex-friendship is healthy or a red flag
If you've ever wondered whether you should stay friends with an ex, whether your partner should be friends with theirs, or why some people can pull it off while others can't... this episode is for you.
