Usually, the former couple’s reunion would spark rumors of a rekindling romance but that’s probably far- fetched as Pitt recently clarified this matter claiming that the reports about him dating women after his split from Angelina Jolie were not true.

We may sometimes wonder how to possibly remain friends with an ex-husband or an ex-wife.

Love.

Psychology Today published an article which spoke of a love shared by the former couples not truly dying. Seth Meyers, Psy.D. , licensed clinical psychologist, explained that the love shared by two individuals did not go away, rather it was only repressed. He further expounded that one cannot simply stop loving a person whom he or she learned to love day after day when they were together. According to Dr. Meyers, he finds it impressive to see former couples remain friends after a divorce because it “takes strength and character and an understanding of the bigger picture to rise above the hurt.”
