Yes. And sometimes that reason is that she’s paranoid.
Sincerely,
Guy who in a former relationship was accused of cheating weekly because he went on a boys’ night out on Friday, planned out, cleared ahead of time with the girlfriend
Yes that is possible too. I’m not ruling that out. We only have the OP’s side of the story. there could be another reason why the wife doesn’t trust him though. Or she could be cheating herself.
Not everyone is like you. Lot’s of people have healthy relationships after a break-up. It’s not one size fits all.
My best friend is an ex, and she has been nothing but supportive of my subsequent relationships and I of hers. It’s not that uncommon in my experience, although perhaps not the norm.
Don’t assume. I’ve never broken up with anyone.
I’m not assuming that you have broken up with anyone, but you clearly believe that **no one **can break up with someone and remain friends. You have rigid general view about relationships.
Yes you are. You wrote that UNLIKE ME lots of peole have healthy relationships with their exes. That implies that I don’t ok? Nice try though.
I said it’s not the norm:rolleyes:You’re assuming I have rigid views about relationships. You don’t know me and don’t pretend you can determine what my views are about anything. You’re a complete stranger:rolleyes:
Thanks Kreskin. Did you get your psychic powers along with your psychology degree?
Let me show you how the quotey thing works:
So please tell me what you meant by this response to my statement? I don’t want to fail in interpreting your implication, but it would appear to me and I would expect that most people would agree with me that you don’t agree with my statement. Not that it’s “not the norm”, but that my statement is false. Notice that my statement is not even an absolute. I said “some people”.
My response was:
What I meant is that not everyone is takes a strict absolute view on relationships like you. That people can have different outcomes in relationships. Hence, my reference to “not one size fits all”.
So your statement now that “it’s not the norm” comes across as backpedaling.
Obviously, it wasn’t.
In my experience, it’s pretty common, too. I’d say in my circle of friends everyone has at least one ex they still remain in contact with.
Omar Little, classyladyhp, both of you, if you have a problem with each other, take it to the Pit. classyladyhp, you’re new here – we prefer that our members don’t “junior mod” each other by making judgment calls about whether or not they’re following the rules. If you think someone is breaking the rules, report the post (use the triangle with a ! in it) and let a mod sort it out.

Whatever…I’m done with this conversation. Have a nice day.
I’ve had that happen to me when I lost my connection, or thought I lost it, and then re-attempted the post. I deleted the later post for you.
Thanks! Much appreciated:D
I’m good friends with almost all of my exes too. So is my partner. In fact we go camping and travelling with some of our exes and their new partners. It is not at all unusual for people to remain friends after a break up.
I’m still good friends with my ex husband.
I’ve recently reestablished a friendship with my ex boyfriend as well.
