Headline misrepresents article. The relevant conclusion isn't "if you're friends with your ex, you're more likely to be a psychopath" - it actually notes that the most common reason people stayed friends with their exes was that they considered them trustworthy, etc.
Rather, the finding was "being a psychopath was among a number of factors that might make you more likely to be friends with your ex". That causal direction is hard for journalists sometimes.
