Is It Wrong To Maintain Friendship With Your Ex? by Bossken(m): 2:48pm On Oct 05, 2015
Hi guys,

I have this issue that sometimes make me fee sad about the attitude of my ex.
We dated for about a year and when i saw that her ideaologies were not in line with mine and if we go ahead to marry, we would have problems. I decided to call of the relationship ona mutual ground pointing out some of those things that are not working especially from her end, she agreed and we ended it but i mentioned that we will always be friends.

To cut the long story story, she broke up all communication channels (blocked me from her social media accounts) as against my wish.
After two years of break up with her, I got married to an age long friend of mine of which she was aware.

Few days ago, i got her no from her younger brother and i called her but she gave me a very cold shoulder. I told her its no crime to say hi to her and i even proposed if we could see but she makes it all very difficult and sad.

Guys i need your candid opinion; is it wrong to continue friendship with an ex? Pls bear in mind that she is not the only ex, i have others who are still friends with me and they even know my wife (one patronises her business).

Thanks

Ok woah, hold on, does your wife know you've been in contact with your recent ex? Why can't you let bygones be bygones? Why do you have to seek her out when it's obvious she wants nothing to do with you? If I was your wife, I wouldn't be thrilled one bit.

Now personally, I cut all exes out of my life & I expect the same from someone I'm dating. If you don't have a child with them, then there's absolutely no reason to still be in contact with them. It ends there. Keeping in contact means unfinished business to me & you're not about to have "unfinished business" with someone else whilst with me. Screw that!

I suggest you move on & let sleeping dogs lie. You're a married man now & your main focus should be your wife, not some ex from years ago. Move on!

Actually there's no crime with being friends with your ex (especially if you don't become too close, as this might bring back feelings best left behind.
But if one (in this case her) decides to cut all ties and keep cold shoulders(i think even though she agreed to breaking up with you,she felt hurt and you really broke her hearth.
Bottom line is how would you feel if your wife go searching for her ex(have been searching for her for 2 years) and is now communicating with him?
Answer this question well
Note: don't say nothing in a hurry cus as humans we tend to see nothing wrong in what we are doing unless someone else do same to us (like a thief finds nothing wrong in stealing unless when he or she becomes the victim) or guys or babes snatching another guys babe or girls guy and saying they love the guy or girl so much only to know how it feels when same happens to them.
Gosh I forget howmuch I get to type when ever I come over to this section cheesy

It's not just bad, it's disgusting! U broke her heart and you're married. Why not focus on your marriage and let her be. I don't know why some persons will not let sleeping dogs lie. If she starts flirting back, you'd start disturbing Nlanders. Mtcheewww..

Well, because you're married it is wrong. Besides she already gave you a cold response, you should know that's a No-no. Save yourself the stress. Your wife won't be happy with this but she won't tell you.

same thing I'm saying. He can't relate with her like before. Just as the half of the cake you've eaten. That cake can't be the way it was before.

I understand you perfectly ma'am. She is an "eaten cake" and she can't be regurgitated as he is not a ruminant. I do get you.
