When is it ok to keep in touch with an ex?

Yos, posted over a year ago

I'm curious what people's thoughts are on this.

When is it ok for you to stay in touch with an ex, and when is it not? Is it ever ok if your partner has a problem with it? Are there restrictions that should be placed around the contact? Does it depend on what the relationship with the ex was like?

Me being me I guess, I am quite protective over my boyfriends, I just think thier mine so why should anyone else have them!? I guess sometimes I can just be too loving!

On the ex issue though, I don't have contact with mine, purely because it ended a little sour. My current boyfriend see's his ex's around says the odd hello but thats it, I personally wouldn't want him to text them or to phone them. I think if the relationship had problems then its best to stay clear as I think it automatically creates friction for all of you.

If it ended on mutual terms then I guess the odd hello and a civil converstation aint all that bad. I don't think people should worry about ex's though, I mean there with you right? So they should be faithful to you and respect your past, everyone has a past. Plus your parteners should trust you and therefore not have issues with ex's xx

I believe it is only ever okay to have a limited contact with ex's especially when your in a new relationship and ESPECIALLY if your new parnter is uncomfortable with it. Ex's are ex's for a reason. If the relationship ended on mutual terms I think it is okay for them to be polite when they see each other and say a quick hello but no more than that. Not many relationships end on purely mutual terms there are usually feelings left on one side or the other, you may no longer have feelings for the ex but they may still be holding onto some feelings for you and this can cause alot of problems within your new relationship and could cause SERIOUS trust issues!

Ex's are best staying just that an ex and a part of the past, now is the time to move on to more fullfilling relationships in the presant.
