I added the section ‘Get some distance first’.

I am happy to say that yes, I think, I have been able to stay friends with my former boss. I was in fact out for dinner with him last night and I am still managing to keep in touch with many of my former colleagues by having the occasional lunch with them and by making the odd appearance in the company’s football team.

Despite being professional etc, in a small market the personal is still there and sometimes comes back to bite you in the arse.

They are no longer a couple but still are “friends with benefits” or have the “booty call” as there are still “needs” they can help each other with once it is over.
