ATrain Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 So as some of you may know from reading my previous posts, my GF and broke up a while back. Mostly over a disagreement on the "boundaries" she had when it came to male friends in her life. My question is this, when in a realtionship, and a serious one at that where both parties are talking about getting married, is it ok to continue communicating with "friends" who have made it very clear that they are interested in much more than just friendship? Is it disrespectful to receive and return phone calls or emails from them? I may be kind of "old school" but I think this is wrong and disrescpectful. I'm curious to see what other people think out there. Thanks in advance for your repsonses.
catgirl1927 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 IMO, maintaining "friendships" with people you know are interested in you is essentially keeping the door open in case your current relationship doesn't work out. The fact is, if you stop talking to those people while you're dating someone and then break up, those people will still be around when your relationship is over. No one stays in contact because they want to be a "good friend." They maintain that contact to keep their options open.
