Brothers don't wanna be friends with the women they've dumped. Black women tend to get a case of the crazies and do stuff like sugar in the tank, slashed tires - all 4 of 'em, or hang outside your apartment at three in the morning with a butcher knife. Be friends, God forbid - I'm packing my bags and catching the next thing smoking!! Maybe it’s just me, but that whole “be friends” thing always seemed to be a white folk thing.

Then, because you really don't care, you probably won't bother... except maybe on non-religious holidays.

And it's usually the breaker that says that to the breakee instead of the more truthful- "I want to screw someone else rather than you".

The only ex-girlfriend I remained friends with was someone who I was friends with before we tried dating. When that didn't work out we returned to being friends, even though it was awkward for a bit. Unless you were friends before, you can't be friends afterwards. I agree. The only ex-girlfriend I remained friends with was someone who I was friends with before we tried dating.
