ex boyfriend.


Question Posted Monday February 25 2008, 5:54 pm

well, i have this ex boyfriend that i had for three years, so obviously we still talk, we broke up about a month ago. and i am going to try to start dating again, it's going to be hard, but i want to do it.

well there's this boy that i have feelings for, he wants to start dating soon . but the thing is : if me and this boy do start dating , do i tell my ex boyfriend? i mean wouldn't it be best if he found out from me so that he didn't get upset , or should i let him find out himself?

13/f

I think you're right... you should definitely tell your ex. Just say, "Hey, I just wanted to let you know I'm dating ____ now." If he asks why you're telling him, just tell him you thought it'd be better if you tell him, rather than him hearing it from someone else. Even if he acts like he doesn't care, inside he'll appreciate it.

.. well honestly why does it matter if you tell your ex. even if you are friends, your not together anymore and its non of his buisness. do what makes you happy.

whatever you do, dont play either guy. if you chose the new guy, let your ex know otherwise things will get into a t otal mess. if you know you will go back to your ex, then be upfront with the new guy. if you arent, trust me things will blow up in yourr face, ive been there :/

I think that you should tell your ex. But you are right it is better he hear from you then someone else. And if both of you have moved on. im sure its fine with him that you go out with someone else, but you might want to just bring it up in a conversation with him or if he asks you if you like someone or something then tell him. It would feel good to get it off your chest then to hide it from him.

hope i helped.

Your relationship with your ex is only a friendship.
Certain things you do, he doesn't need to know.

He can still care about you but whatever you do with your life is none of his business, and he has no say so. The same if vice versa.

No, you don't have to tell him detailed information about the relationship you are about to get in to, just let him know that you have to distant yourselves and can't talk or hang together as much as you used to.

Now, that someone new is in the picture, you cannot have any distractions, especially from your past.

Good Luck!
