sully737 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Do you usually keep in contact with your ex's? I understand there is a certain period of "de-coupling" aka "no contact" but after a few weeks, months, what have you, do you usually keep them in your life? I ask because my most recent ex and I broke up about a year and a half ago.. We've spoken a handful of times, but he recently called me this week to let me know that his sister had had her baby. My colleague thought it was a little odd that we hadnt spoken in months, and yet he kept me up to date about something like that. She seems to think he's not over me, and that people dont usually keep their ex's involved in the happenings of their life, unless there's residual feelings there. I will admit that he did make some comment about when I was going to "jump on the baby train" and that I would make a wonderful mother, I thought this a little odd. I am "friendly" with all of my exes, some more than others, but it made me curious as to whether or not other people hold this opinion. Can you ever truly be friends with an ex?

I'm in touch with some of the women I've had LTRs with. There were periods of no contact after we split up (several years) but now we are "friends" on facebook, occasionally remember to send christmas cards and they tell me when they have babies with their current SOs etc. We're not close, but there's nothing awkward about the level of contact we have. We have some friends in common, which might make a difference.
Emilia Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 depends on the ex but I usually keep in touch with former LTRs. I keep a tab on what's going in their lives through facebook, the occasional email, etc. two of them don't even live in the same country as me anymore so I never see them. my last ex doesn't want to speak to me at the moment but I don't think it will be like that forever
