About this episode

When the relationship ends and a platonic friendship is on the table....could it work or is it better to remove this person from your life? On this week's brunch talk we're talking about if you can stay friends with an ex, what boundaries need to be in place, and how to determine ultimately what is best for you. This is a tricky one but we dissect all the ins and outs so you can use this as a guide to assess your own situation.
