Does it matter if you get along with the SO's friends and family?

In my experience no matter how close you become to them, once you breakup they dont give a rats ass about you. Even if the SO was in teh wrong, not you.

My ex's family didn't even take the time to try and meet me, they avoided me numerous times. They also made sure to attempt to split us up. I'm rather glad I'm out of that situation. :lmao:

 

Ideally, while you are in the relationship, it's better to get along, makes thing's go much more smoothly.

Why would they care though? You're not their child. I think they should respect you though. I wouldn't expect them to keep in contact with me but if they wished me well and spoke to me if they saw me in the street etc, that would be very nice and polite.

 

Also, @ Rinas, are you Rinnix on a new account/name change?

@Ginger Yes, it seems as if my picture is making people recognize. :laugh:

 

 

Generally when a RS is over, the family will always/usually go with there side. It doesn't matter if they were in the wrong, we always support family. Suppose that's life.

I think it's for the best that one gets along with their SO's family. I've never had a case in which this didn't happen. It is true though that once the relationship ends, they generally cease to care about you. They may even turn against you even if they know nothing was your fault.

 

Of course, there are some families who will keep in regular contact with a child's former SO, even if they were never married or had no children.

I've stayed in friendly contact with a couple friends of exs and some of my best friends now use to be her friends, but they stayed my friends and not really hers after the break up

 

The family thing is sad, but true....I've always been great with families...never had someone not like me, even being the first bf a few of them didnt hate. After breaking up with my gf of 2.5 years, all her family deleted me off facebook at somepoint other than her dad...I'm sure if I saw him in public we would talk, we always got along great....what saddened me was her mom now hates me, we use to be great, we texted, AIMed, emailed, etc; both big yankee fans, and liked to gang up on my gf and make fun of her at times. I emailed her a little bit after the break up talking about the Yankees, as it was nearing the world series; shed didnt respond, but my ex sent me an email saying not to contact her mom because if I did again she (the mom) was gonna tell me off....oh well

I do want to add that that ex I mentioned, still does talk to my mom once in a while, so it happens from time to time where some contact is kept
