Is it immature to want my ex out of my life?

Question

My ex reached out to me multiple times asking to reconnect and be friends, but I'm not comfortable with the idea and to be honest, I'm happier without him in my life. Not that he did anything bad or is a terrible person. I just simply don't have a place for him and don't want to make the effort to reconnect.

I don't know I think that that's really immature. I mean you can't just deleted him like some stupid photo on your pc or tab. He is in your memories so even if you forget about him there will be things that will make you remember him. So don't delete him. Tell him that you don't want to have anything to do with him but don't try to forget him. Get used to the thought about that you was with him at some. point of your life and that it didn't happen and that was. Then your mind you perceive those memories like normal ones and if you some day remember them you will fill like nothing or just a little bit of emo

No, that'snot immature at all. You were being very mature by leaving someone who didn't make you happy and being honest with your feelings, instead of just stringing him along like some people do.

I dont think its immature that you don't want him in your life. How you deal with it will show how mature or immature you are.
If you just ignore him, I guess it's not its immature but it's not that adult, either. He's someone you had a relationship with for however long, the least you can do is be straight up with him and tell him you dont want to be friends. You dont even have tell him why, but as a person you cared about at one point you could tell him thanks but no thanks, wish him well and close that chapter.

I even cut quite some mutual friends (although they were more like acquaintances) from mine. I only have 2 remaining indirect links to my ex that I really can't cut away but other than that she must be wondering whether I ever existed by now.

Why not just keep him there, not in, but there and laugh at his pathetic attempt until he learns to grow the fuck up.

not at all. It is your time to find yourself now. He has no place to be in your life if you don't want him to be there. Just tell him you can't be friends and leave it like that.

On the contrary, you'll be mature if you kick him out of your life. That is decisiveness and power, traits of an adult.

No it's not immature. What's immature is the people that want their ex to die or laugh at them when something tragic happens to them.
