What's the point of keeping in touch? Is it just to show that you have self control or what? It's not about whether you are faithful or not. it's about removing EVERY seed of doubt in your partner's mind. If you run into your ex, you can be polite and courteous, but to actively keep in touch with him or her is selfish and totally unnecessary in my humble opinion.

JUST AVOID HER COMPLETELY EVEN THOUGH YOU TRUST YOURSELF,. BECAUSE YOUR TOOL MAY NOT TRUST ITSELF WHEN THE SITUATION ARISES. DO NOT PUT THE LORD THY GOD TO THE TEST.

Belleciouz:

Errrm...... More than 70% of guys?
..And the 'more than 70% of guys' hooked up with who? Stones or spirits? You and I both know their exes are also "more than 70% of girls." So be fair in your assessment.

Yes you are a big cheat and to confirm/understand simply put your fiancee in your position and imagine her doing what you are doing and please don't forget to let us know how you would feel.

Of course it depends on the situation. Keeping up with your ex after you're married, in and of itself, shouldn't be considered wrong. But a lot of times, it's best to move on with the life you have without your ex as your spouse will not be comfortable with it.

chelseabmw: To me it's not a bad idea tho depends on the line of communication...

I called her on her birthday just to wish her longevity

She's on my bbm list... we only chat about her work n family

When I'm in nigeria I always see her esp at her bank because she's my account officer n I run most of my bank transaction through that particular bank


We don't discuss about our relationship way back because I have moved on n she's married


My opinion tho
Nice one

Why marry a man that has his ex as a contact and claims they are now just friends? The past must be behind you in spirit and in truth or no deal.

@ OP, @ohzee

I've kept active communication (for whatever reason) with four (4) of my ex's (not quite sure of there ex status) for the past fourteen (14) years and now i desperately want to marry at least one of them now. the process is ongoing.

kingthreat: Why is it that men are so scared of their wives' ex?
If you're way better than the ex in everything including being romantic, why will she even remember him?
When I was young I promised myself never to nod a woman, but if that's what it takes to give 100% satisfaction and forget about her guys from history, I'll gladly be a bushman grin grin

It's like you don't really understand women. If you like be a thousand times better than her ex. Just leave her in a room with her ex and see if wonders will not begin to manifest. The Law of Okafor is real o, better wake up!

gbaskiboy: The best is to cut off any ties that bind both of u together. It starts with simple 'hello' but at end it results to adultery. And u start going about with guilty conscience that last for months.

The funny thing is, not everybody has that guilty conscience thing you talked about. Dem go even happy pass dey chop d forbidden kpomo dey go. That is, until they eventually get caught.

oamronnie: Let me tell you how to get into trouble after marriage: Keep in touch with your ex girlfriend!
What are you doing?! Why are you scouring for trouble? You know she still has feelings for you.
Why are you texting and calling her, speaking in that low sensitive tone as if you never married
It almost always begins with a 'How are you?' A stiff 'I'm fine. You?' So so! That's at 9am. Then at 1pm your mind wanders. Now you want to know how she's doing in her new unit at work. As the Good Samaritan you just want to make sure her feelings are ok; you know, smooth things over... Then she asks if you've eaten. You smile. Kind of reminds you of old times. You smile again. Sheepish smile
Then her ping comes an hour later, followed by "Missing you!" You hesitate, but to be polite you send back "Missing u 2!
And the texts proceed along that corridor, throw in one or two borderline comments and jokes.
Then it becomes "Let me buy you a drink. For old times’ sake." Both of you know what you're doing.
You know you're working to a common answer. You know you're skirting an edge. But you really don't know which edge it is, whether Sheol or Abyss. "Why not?!" she replies. "But you know I can't be seen out with you. You are now MISTERRR! How about my new apartment. You haven't seen it. "Won't mind!" you say, excited in your belly. You're flirting with temptation and you know it. But you are cool! Can handle it!
At the close of work you nervously drive to her apartment. She's just a friend. You can visit an old friend, right? Well she's waiting for you. She makes sure to kiss you on the cheek. Nothing untoward. A friend's kiss. She's just arrived from work too. Only you notice the apartment is rather too cool for that statement to be true. Nervous, you stand up. To look around the apartment. You like that painting. Which one? You're backing her. Oh that one! Now she's standing next to you. Close. You perspire under the skin. You know she wants you. And you want her. But who'll make the move? You look at her. She looks up at you...those round eyes. Why did I let you get away, she's saying...softly, her hands on your chest. Then comes your kiss. It's a tentative kiss. And then the kiss changes nationality. It becomes a French kiss. And the clothes start flying off. Greedily. Just like in the movies. You know you ought to stop. You know you can still stop. But you don't. Then the clasp comes undone. The zippers follow suit. Like a Hollywood script. Now you're an adulterer. All because you couldn't cut off ties with an ex. It ended for a reason, you know.
There are relationships you must cut off once you marry. Especially relationships with high passion potential.
In a marriage, two is a company, three is a crowded stadium. You can't crowd in your ex girlfriend into your marriage. You're going to create trouble. Women are very territorial. And to a woman her marriage and her man are real estate.
Culled from Leke Alder's Letter to Jack.

Will keep this so close to my heart. Thanks. There's so much the word 'ex' represents and its almost always the past.
