My partner has told me that it is all in the past and still wants to be friends with his ex's and has told me everything is in the past. What do you think???????????????

He sounds very grown up and adult (not like a bloke at all!). Are you worried something might still be going on with them?

LadyTamba · 16/07/2006 16:14

Id say Nope. Perhaps not the measured or grown up response, but its my response take it or leave it...

SSSandy · 16/07/2006 16:17

Frankly, I would rather have no ex's hanging about

Won't be helpful to your relationship in all likelihood

I have a good relationship with my ex's, we are friends and I don't keep any sort of "romantic" feeling towards them. However... I keep contact to a minimum, not because I think me (or them) have some unresolved issues with each other but because I don't want to deal with some of their current partners' insecurities. If the wives were OK with that I would love to keep contact with them, but I understand that's not always the case so I keep the distance out of respect to them.

I send Christmas cards to some - and that's it. There's no bad feeling between me and my ex's but I think a clean break works best really ,unless you have joint dc.

Hi everybody,

Thanks for the great responses my partner mentioned today that the reason why they r ex's is because it didn't work and now he has someone he wants to be with so I shouldnt worry about anything.
All it is tho is I trust my partner fully its just the ex's I am a bit unsure of. One still holds a torch???

ameli · 16/07/2006 22:21

personally , would hate it. too hurtfull to think about initimate moments between them, but im quite jelous nyway

SSSandy · 16/07/2006 22:34

Clear it from the beginning, if you can't accept it, say so now. Don't go along with it for a while and then force him to choose (because he probably won't).

In how close contact are they? Do they see each other regularly, go out for meals, phone every night?

lozzawoo · 16/07/2006 23:17

Hi ssandy,

no only contact when it is needed. this one tho really wants him back but he says the milleage is up and not to worry.

hi everyone
im also having this problem, im seeing a really nice bloke but he has alot of contact with his ex and is always doing jobs for her (sorting house and car and stuff). he says he has no feelings for her but has to keep her sweet because of the kids, he thinks she will make it hard for him if he doesnt do this. I think he should have a much cleaner break but he gets really annoyed if i talk about it too much, he says he is handling it his way. I just dont like him going there all the time. am i being unreasonable? i have thought about jacking it in because of this but it would be a shame because we do like eachother alot. any advice welcome!!

Chandra · 17/07/2006 13:08

"the millage is up and not to worry"?????? I would be very annoyed if my DH refered to one of his exs or any other woman in those terms!
