So, I was jogging, sweaty due to the Florida heat, and coming home. My ex's mom came halting in her car, lowered the window, and was very friendly towards me. She asked me if I wanted to have lunch with her tomorrow. I said possibly, but I am not sure if I should. While the break up occurred eight months ago or so, I do not want to interfere with my ex's life. On the other had, I truly do like my ex's mom and would love to catch up.

 

Does anyone have any experience in a similar situation and willing to give advice?

Totally depends on you. I'm friends with my exes family, at this point my relationship with them is 200% removed from him. Do what you feel comfortable with.

That sounds awkward and very weird.

Whether or not you having lunch with the mom depend on how you feel about your ex.

 

If you still want your ex back or have some feelings for her, meeting her mom sounds like a bad idea.

I had lunch with her, and it went well enough. I do regret some aspects of it. It was nice to get back in touch with my ex's mother, but it did feel strange. She spoke about her daughter pretty frequently, which I didn't mind at first, but it did bother me after a while as it brought the past back to full effect. I'm assuming she has little knowledge of what actually occurred, and I presume its for the best. It bother me after a while, and while my ex's mother loves her daughter, I would have thought she would have been more respectful towards my opinion of her. In my mind, my relationship with her mother has little to do with my ex.

 

We talked, we laughed, we got along, but I felt like I was a different person now than a year ago. It was a strange feeling as I no longer felt I belonged in that chapter of my life, I am in a different place than I was in.

 

Besides a few awkward moments, it was nice to see her. I hope she felt the same way as I truly value her. She is a wonderful woman to me, and I wish her the best. Has anyone had a feelings I've experienced?
