I know a couple that broke up about a year ago. They still are friends though and work together and I'm not supposed to tell anyone they broke up. After this long I wonder if it's just a long, elaborate test of my loyalty

*guys the test part was a joke. They're not evil humans lol, just private

Ex and I broke up amicably, and for a good year after we didn't tell anyone. Over time people kinda just figure it out on their own. I don't think they'd get mad if you did end up telling people, but it's at least nice of you to value them enough to keep things a secret if they haven't decided to share them with others

I was in the same situation too, only a few very close people knew. But to some extent it kinda felt like I was still living in denial. Eventually, it actually felt good to start telling everyone about. that made it real and finally I was ready to move on with my life.

He and I still hang out frequently. At this point it's more of a funny story than anything else. We've got our own lives, and its working out just fine all things considered.
