friends w/ex
| Thu, 04-15-2004 - 8:01pm |
I have a dilema concerning my boyfriend of nearly 2 years. He's just about the most trustworthy guy I've ever met. I have had no reason to ever doubt his integrity. However, there is one aspect of our relationship that bothers me. My guy is still friends with a number of his ex-girlfriends. While he doensn't have that many friends to begin with, the ones he does have seem to be ex's. There is one in particular that he still calls on a regular basis to say 'hi'. Granted, he and this girl dated 7 years ago, and I have met her. He's not secretive about his calls and friendship with her. She's a causal friend...they see each other maybe twice a month when the two of them...along with their mutual friend...get together for drinks. I am always invited...that I know of. Does it seem strange to anyone else that a man in a serious relationship STILL keeps in touch with an ex-girlfriend? I'm the complete opposite. I am not friendly with any of my exes...at least not to the point where I call them and still hang out with them on occassion. What's this about? Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks for taking time to read my rant...

I understand both sides because there are a couple of my exes that I keep in touch with. Those couple are the ones that held a stronger friendship potential and ended positively. The point is that THEY ENDED, though. Take the friendships as a sign that your boyfriend is mature and grounded in what he wants from his friendships, as well as his relationships.
On the other hand, I can see why you'd think it was weird. I have several exes who I could not be friends with. It totally depends on what kind of chemistry two people develop over a period of time.
No worries, question2004. It sounds like he's ok.
