Should You Stay Friends With an Ex? Here’s Ryza Cenon Has To Say

Should you stay friends with your ex? Well, here’s what actress Ryza Cenon has to say (but just to be clear, it’s her opinion, so calm yourselves!)

It’s been a year since Ryza broke up with her long-time beau Cholo Barretto. In an interview with an online entertainment site, the actress said that the breakup was really hard for the both of them. Moreover, she revealed that she’s still not friends with her ex.

“Sobrang effort yun! Sobrang hirap nun, kasi minahal mo naman siya, e. Parang ilang months kung inisip yung breakup na yun,” she shared.

“Ilang months na ipinagdadasal na, ‘Bigyan Niyo ako ako ng chance, kung kelan yung tamang timing para sabihin yun,’” she added.

Ryza emphasizes that honesty and empathy are big factors in dealing with breakups.

“Feeling ko, unfair naman din para sa kanya. Parang feeling ko, ako wala na, ’tapos tinutuloy ko pa… na ang akala niya, okey pa ako, pero hindi na.

“Kaya, mas okey yata na maging honest ka na lang. Tutal, given naman yung may talagang masasaktan, pero mas masakit yung patatagalin pa, ‘tapos wala naman na pala.”

Can you ever be best friends with an ex? Ryza answers.

“Mas pinili ko na huwag na lang maging… kasi, kaplastikan naman na, ‘Okey pa kami after, di ba?’ ’Di na yun. ‘Wag na nating i-showbiz yun.

“Ganun naman talaga ang process, para maka-move on. Hindi mo naman iki-keep kung anong meron kayo. Buburahin mo yun lahat. Tanggalin mo, para meron ulit kang bago. Makapagsimula ka muli. Hindi ka makaka-move on kung laging nandiyan lagi. Para saan kung ba’t naghiwalay pa kayo? Balikan mo na lang kaya?

“Hindi naman sa nagpapaka-bitter, pero kailangan mong kumilos, para maka-move on.”
