Communicating with my Ex
| Thu, 08-25-2005 - 11:52am |
My ex and I have been talking lately, he's been calling me (I don't call him) and we seem to be on better terms now. Our relationship ended about a year ago (long distance...both of us in two different places...falling apart because of it, relationship ended on bad terms,etc). Because it was a long distance relationship and we weren't sure if it would work, we always told each other that if we ever broke up that we would do our "own thing" and then when the timing is right we would maybe try it again. I think a couple of my friends think I'm crazy that I've been talking to him. They don't understand why I am talking to him at all and that I should tell him to stop calling me and leave me alone. I honestly don't really care what they think because after all it is my life and I can make my own decisions, talk to whomever I want to talk to. I want them to respect that. My other friends are not like this with me. Why are they being like this? I think it is an unfair judgment. What is wrong with being on good terms with someone who is special to you? I'm not the type of person who likes to hold grudges. I guess that makes me who I am and different from others.

I'm sure your friends just don't want to see you get hurt again.
I'm not clear about whether you are communicating as platonic friends, or revisiting the idea of getting together again. I would say the first would be just fine, but the 2nd, not so much, unless something has really changed (because you ARE likely to get hurt again).
