To think most people who stay “friends” with exes are emotionally unfaithful?

It’s not maturity - it’s a backup plan.

I‘m friends with my ex, we had many happy years together and have two children. We don’t want to be together but certainly don’t hate each other. He’s not a back up plan, he’s a friend.

Eh? I don’t get it

That's a weird thing to say, I don't think it's true at all.

I am friends with lots of exes and have spent this evening hunting for a suitable dress to wear to one of their weddings

It's sad you can't trust but it isn't the fault of more emotionally mature people.
