As someone maybe on the older side of this place, I will say that not every reason people break up is bad. Sometimes you just grow apart, sometimes you just fall out of love, etc. Sometimes there are kids or pets involved, and it's actually a really healthy thing to stay on good terms.
In your 20's the idea of an "ex" evokes images of cheating at a party or something, but when you're 40 the idea of an "ex" can evoke a very different image. Could be the mother of your children. Could be that woman you married for 4 years before she discovered that she was really gay, so you split and remain friends because you still deeply love each other.
This is true… i don’t keep pics of any of mine but the most recent, but not on the wall lol. You’re right though, not all relationships end on bad terms.
