pretty_petal Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 ok, you break up from a relationship that lasted 3 years. How long is the respectable amount of time to wait before you have some kind of relations with another person. I should imagine that the amount of time to respect your ex increases with length of relationship? Just wondering because i don't want to A) look like a slag to anyone and B) most importantly i don't want to hurt my ex. Thanks, pp x
whats wrong with me Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 until they meet someone else (since you care if your ex hurts)
NTB Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 why would you care if your x hurts?.......their an x for a reason
whats wrong with me Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (NTB) Thats how I feel about my exes!!! but I guess some people dont
tikigods Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I come from the school of thought that people should never be friends with an ex. That being said, I think once you both have moved on with your lives and no longer care about eachother on anything other then a friendly level thats when you can do it. But I agree an ex is an ex for a reason
NTB Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (NTB) Thats how I feel about my exes!!! but I guess some people dont no need to get your undies in a twist besides i was talking to pretty petal anyway PP if your ready to move on then enough time has passed
SmoochieFace Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 There is no *set* amount of time to wait before getting involved. Everyone is different so you shouldn't bother listening to those who say rubbish such as "you need to wait 6 months, etc." You get involved with another person when YOU are ready to do so. And forget about what the X is thinking... they're an X so their feelings do not matter any more.
whats wrong with me Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 no need to get your undies in a twist besides i was talking to pretty petal anyway PP if your ready to move on then enough time has passed I wasn't getting my panties in a twist, I agree with you. I personally hate all my ex's and would care less about hurting THEIR feelings. AND we dont know pretty petals situation it maybe that she doesnt have romantic feelings for her ex but has feelings of friendship towards him.
Ariadne Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Hi, I should imagine that the amount of time to respect your ex increases with length of relationship? No, I believe the amount of time is related to when you feel ready to date again. Ariadne
Lonestar Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 You get involved with someone else after YOU have had time to heal and then when the right person comes along that's worthy of another try at love. This should have nothing to do with your ex.
Author pretty_petal Posted March 11, 2006 Author Posted March 11, 2006 ok, general consensus then is to move on when i'm ready... which i am! So problem solved really! About worrying about my ex, i know that i wouldn't care if he got with someone else, so you managed to make me see straight - that why should i care about his feelings? which he probably doesn't have anyway... i see the light! Thank you ppx
