Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship

Send us a Text Message.

Episode #83: Have you ever befriended your ex's ex? Today's episode focuses on the potential friendship that comes from a shared hurt and a shared healing. I was intrigued when Lara Starr emailed me about her "sister exes." Lara has written extensively in her Substack, It's Kind of a Long Story, about the friendships that came from bonding with the women who were emotionally hurt by the same man.
This kind of friendship could also apply to fellow ex-friends of a particular friend.
There may be some drawbacks to starting a friendship this way. If the relationship stays way too focused on the common hurt, that's not a true or deep friendship. We get into all of that as Lara shares her story.
Meet Lara Starr: Lara is a publishing publicist and a former radio producer. Find her on Substack and Instagram.
