Would you be cool with your partner making friends with your ex?

Question

Just curious how y’all feel about this …

Summeroflove · Accepted Answer

It depends on context let me first start off by saying for people who will yell at me if someone’s going to cheat they are going to cheat regardless. It would really depend on their dynamic as well as the terms they broke up on. Another thing is people are allowed to have standards doesn’t mean they have to be a ass about it just not everyone’s compatible as long as they aren’t a hypocrite.

It depends on the situation if I felt too weird about it I would probably just go ahead and break things off. Especially if I feel like I’m being used to make someone else jealous no thanks.

Why not, unless you don't want anything to do with your ex.

This is what happened to my parents. My dad’s first girlfriend after the divorce became good friends with my mom. As a result, she went to my mom with her relationship frustrations and started to see what my mom saw. She later broke up with him.

He chose me so I do not view his previous relationships as a threat to the current relationship I am in with him right now. And if he does leave, I will also leave, and find another partner too.

Being a relationship coach, I'm all about understanding the juicy dynamics! If you're comfy with your partner making friends with your ex, it shows rock-solid trust and confidence in your relationship. 👏✨ But if it raises any red flags or insecurities, it's crucial to have an open chat. Communication is the secret sauce! Keep that connection sizzling with honesty and trust. ❤️🔥

Finchie40 · Answer

If my ex and I broke up on mutual terms with no hate involved than I wouldn’t mind , but if it was an ex that I couldn’t stand , then yes I would mind lol

AviatorTom · Answer

Not a problem. There was a family get-together and before I had a chance to introduce my wife to my ex-wife, they met each other in the ladies room. Got along just fine.

ShellyB · Answer

In my case no I would not bc of specific things about my relationship with the exes but in some other situation it might be OK.

princeofromance · Answer

I would be very comfortable with that scenario.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

That's a  very unrealistic scenario  in my experience, I can't see any lover having the opportunity nor wanting to be close to MY exes. It doesn't seem doable. The only case I can think of where it would happen is HS relationships, due to their simple nature, and the extreme socialization coming from that environment.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

it depends on why you broke up with them. if he broke up with both of them then it's different.

he broke up with them: they still want him and see him in a good light and he wants a threesome

they broke up with him: they're laughing and hating on him together

the choice is clear

MannMitAntworten · Answer

No idea how a current significant other would even know who they are or where they resides to even magically connect with the knowledge they have been involved with the same individual. I am not in the habit of talking about my exes let alone maintain any sort f dialog with them after parting ways. Frankly if to ever occur I would wander what one or the other was up to because their befriending one another out of some remote chance is too fantastic to imagine taking place. I may live in a small town, but I don’t date in my small town … on purpose.

Zack-Bann · Answer

Not a fan of exes sticking around Even if the breakup was amicable we are human If an ex starts seeing what they could have had being had by someone else they will get bitter

NordicInScandinavia · Answer

I'd be very surprised if my Bosnian partner made friends with my latest ex who was a racist.  My partner is friends with one of my exes. We don't see her often anymore tho.

RingOfFire · Answer

Not really. We all live and grow. When it comes to relationships the past should stay in the past.

Miristheiss · Answer

No. I haven't seen or talked to me ex in over a decade. It would be really bizarre for my ex to pop back into our lives. Anyway, that is a boundary. No exes. Mine or yours.

soe11 · Answer

Yes with positive. She visit some occasion.  My girlfriend did not mind at all. Some occasion we go together weekend break. My girlfriend and my ex pretty much friendly.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

Absolutely not lol.  It would be different if my ex and I ended things on a good note and were still friends or something like that.

bddddd · Answer

Ummm... so it depends on the ex. Did he hit you, assault you or otherwise harm you? If he is just some guy you loved but decided your future wasn't with, I don't see a problem.

BDRick · Answer

I woulds be 100% okay with her being okay with any of my exes because I have never caused bad relations with any ex. Plus, I would like to be friends with her her exes.. I mean we have a loving relationship so it works great.

katiesmuff · Answer

I think that would in most cases be pretty awkward!

OneViewpoint · Answer

Yes, absolutely. That is the preferred outcome. I have two sons for life with that ex.

slatyb · Answer

Not my ex-wife, but it would be ok with an ex-girlfriend.

Shiprex · Answer

No, they were work colleagues and when she cheated that set them apart for good

Jersey2 · Answer

My wife went to school with my ex’s and seems to hate them. I am not sure if she did before I came into the picture but she did afterwards.

Babygirl_S · Answer

Never! He may fight with me over a man I left behind

Godihateyou · Answer

Yeah. I mean if she wants to be fucked over as hard as me then that's the best option. I worry about her intelligence though
