Question Posted Thursday February 24 2011, 12:18 pm
So after I broke up with my boyfriend I forgot one little detail that still connected us. When we were together we got two hamsters together and now after this break up we don't know what to do. I mean I still love our hamsters and want to keep them and see them so we talked and we found a solution. My ex said that we can each keep them for 1 month...so my month is coming up but I don't know if its okay for me to see my ex having a new boyfriend myself. I mean I asked him if he was okay with it but he keeps telling me no comment so I ask if this solution I have with my ex is a good idea or should I just let him keep the hamsters????

You broke up, for whatever reason, and now you're separated and each one of you can do whatever they want. Like if he dates someone, it's not your concern who it is or you don't even have the right to get upset about it, ofcourse you could be upset about it between yourself and you, but infront of him, you can't judge him ,or disapprove or tell him anything about it. I actually love how you're both diplomatic about this, enough to come up with such a good and understanding solution. So if those hamsters really mean alot to you, then I think that he couldn't have given you a better chance, and it's a really good idea, so take advantage of it, and don't keep telling him that it's not a good idea, in case he changes his mind and then you don't get to see the hamsters again.
But if you don't care that much about the hamsters anyways, then just let him have them, and you can buy yourself a new pet or something. But this has completely nothing to do with your boyfriend, or him being upset about it. And you should stop asking him if he's okay with it, because you shouldn't care if he's okay with it or not, because ofcourse he's not, you broke up, and now he's alone, and you're with someone, it'll take him time to move on and find someone else, so stop asking him if he's okay, because obviously he's not, but yet he's doing a pretty good job in holding up and actually being very very decent and diplomatic about it to be able to talk to you and reach such a decision with you about the hamsters.
