Generally after a blindsiding breakup is 6-8 weeks no contact best even if you agreed to be friends?

Yes 6-8 weeks no contact is best even if you agree to stay friends

No stay in touch if you both want to stay friends

You shouldn't be friends with an ex at all. When you get a new relationship, they may get upset if you are friends with an ex.

No contact is essential in my opinion. Otherwise you have no time to grieve the relationship and the loss of this person in that role. You need to rebuild yourself and your expectations for this relationship before you can just go back to being friends.

Personally, a breakup is a breakup for me and "no contact" has no expiration date. If you're done with me, I'm done with you. We both need to move on to find what we want. Hanging out with an ex is just wasting precious time. I have plenty of friends.

Don't stay friends at all. Bad idea. MOVE ON.

Being friends with an ex is immature
