What do you do with friends you made through your ex?

That’s pretty dependent on a variety of factors. I’d say the biggest consideration would be: does it mean you’d ever have to interact with your ex again. If so I might distance myself from the friendship.

Similarly if the main thing you had in common was your ex then that friendship will die naturally.

If there was any friendship that if a future partner had would make me uneasy then I’d drop that too.

For example: I’m not sure I’d be happy if my future partner were friends with his ex’s brother, so I wouldn’t remain friends with an ex’s sister.

I agree that it’s dependent on several factors. With my narcissistic ex I let several friendships go. If you can’t support me even though I’ve told you what I’ve experienced then I cannot be friends with you. Often cleaner to just move one in most cases in my opinion. I don’t want to hear what he’s up to because you spoke to him recently or saw a post on Facebook earlier today. I don’t want to be disappointed that you’re not free next Saturday because you’re going out with him.
