honest self accounting needs to happen before you decide to move into friendship mode.

I agree with this thought process completely. I have a couple of ex's that I am still friends with and we communicate now and again, but not frequently. But, anyone I was ever with (dating or in a relationship) who, as you stated above, had difficulty with fidelity, integrity, honesty, etc., can be certain that I will cut them out of my life like a bad cancer. Once cancer is erradicated, I see no reason to invite it back into my sphere of life!
