tb24 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Hi, I dated my ex for 3 years. We broke up last week. Thing is, me and her brother-in-law (and to a lesser extent her sister) became quite close friends. They both (her sister and brother-in-law) want to remain friends with me. Now if I knew them before I got with my ex I could easily argue that we were friends before and I don't think she'd have a problem with it. But I only know them because of my ex and I'm not sure how she will react. I'd like to remain friends. Her brother in law and me have a ridiculous amount in common and get on really well. Me and my ex broke up on fairly good terms but I don't want to drive her and her sister apart or cause any family tensions if i can help it. I also don't want her to think i'm stealing her family away from her or that they're choosing sides and they somehow picked me. Can I safely remain friends with them or should I back off? I plan on keeping my distance for a while at least but honestly I want to stay friends with both of them. Hell I'd stay friends with my ex but I really don't think she could handle that.
