Toxic relationships and moving on

Evening everyone

I have this close friend and she has an ex who she just can’t to let go of. But all she does is moan about him, how she doesn’t fancy him, the sparks gone, nothing there blah blah blah.

She’s recently moved house to get some distance between them, but they have had such volitile arguments over trust issues and what seems to be over anything and everything.

I just don’t get why they are still in touch and this weekend just gone she was meant to be my plus one at a wedding reception but never turned up because she was “arguing with the ex”.

Anyway it turned out that she actually went for a drink with him, and to be honest I’m more bothered that she just didn’t say she went out with him and not to let me know, it makes me feel a bit pissed to be honest because they are soooo toxic with each other!!! I just do not get it! Just leave each other alone and move on!

Help me please just to try and understand it.

We were talking about this at work today funnily enough. My colleague had a friend whose partner used to beat her but she'd keep going back to him. She ended up falling out with my colleague because she was trying to help her see they were no good for each other. Sometimes people just have to figure it out for themselves... as unfortunate/sad as that is.
