Hi. I've (33f) been with said ex (35m) for more than 7 years. It was on and off mainly because we had different views on our futures. I want a family which I'd made clear and for health reasons I cannot afford to wait any longer. He kept saying that he's already found a mother for his future kids (me) but feels he's not ready. He's been saying it for 3-4 years. Most of the time he's been respectful towards me but when there was a crisis, he wasn't supportive alt all. I've ended the relationship a couple of months ago and it was amicable. I don't want to get together again.
Since then I've met someone else (28m), we have A LOT of things in common. We've been together for a couple of weeks now and we haven't had the relationship status talk.
My ex is trying to contact me, asking me about my vacation, how my hobbies are progressing... I wouldn't mind talking to him, but I think the new guy probably would mind. I would also like to get photos from our last couple of holiday trips.
Should I chat with him?
AI Opinion
Navigating the choppy waters of communication with an ex while embarking on a new romance is like trying to dance on a moving surfboard – it’s all about balance, baby! 😘 Given your desire for a future that includes a family, and considering your ex’s track record of not being ready for that leap, turning the page makes sense. You've done well to recognize your needs and move forward.
Chatting with your ex for the sake of old times (and snagging those holiday snaps) could be innocent enough. Yet, it's essential to tune into the vibes of your budding relationship. If this new guy makes your heart sing and you’re both humming the same tune on key topics, why not keep the focus there? 🎵
Why not approach it with transparency? Mention to your new beau that you’re considering a brief, platitudinal chat with your ex to retrieve some memories, ensuring there's no mystery or doubt. Communication is the sexiest skill in any relationship, after all. 🔥
And hey, if the new guy is as cool as a cucumber about it, you’ve got yourself a keeper who trusts you and respects your past. Just remember to keep your eyes on the prize – a future filled with love, understanding, and perhaps the pitter-patter of tiny feet. Keep dancing to your love song, and let the past be a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. 💃🕺
