In the latest celebrity news, Demi Moore shared a throwback image of herself attending the 1987 Emmys alongside now ex-husband Bruce Willis on Instagram. According to UsMagazine.com, Moore shared the image of the former celebrity couple to commemorate the 2020 Emmy ceremony, which took place without a red carpet or audience due to the pandemic. While the celebrity exes split back in 2000, Moore explained how their relationship grew stronger after their divorce, and how the two are devoted to creating family memories with their three children. Moore and Willis were recently reported to be quarantining together, alongside their children, in Idaho earlier this year.
These celebrity exes have kept things civil and can even remember their relationship positively to this day. What are some ways to turn the corner from bitterness to happy memories after a break-up?
Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes we realize after getting into a relationship with someone that our bond was better suited for a friendship. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to back-track from this position without causing any bitterness or tension for both people involved. If you are looking for ways to limit the bitterness post break-up and turn the corner into a true friendship, Cupid has some advice for you.
1. Give it time: Even if you and your partner have gone through an amicable break-up, it can still be necessary to spend some time apart. During the time immediately following a break-up, bitterness and drama are likely to surface, which can be avoided if both parties limit their contact. Once the two of you have started on your own separate paths post-relationship, it can be easier to slowly build a friendship.

2. Respect each other’s boundaries: It is important to understand that while you are still in your ex-partner’s life, your role has changed. Just like the two of us set boundaries in your romantic relationship, boundaries need to be established for your newly formed friendship. By understanding what both people want out of a friendship, you will prevent any bitterness or disagreements from forming.

3. Reminisce with each other: Just as Moore and Willis do, look back at all the great memories you made as a couple. Even if a relationship does not work out, it doesn’t mean that all the memories you made together need to be tainted by the break-up. Remember things for how they were in the moment rather than how they are under the changed relationship status.
