I want to be friends with my boyfriend's ex...

How weird is it that I kinda want to be friends with (at least get to know) my boyfriend's ex? I don't know, it just seems sad to me that they were together for 5 years (that's a major chunk of their lives) and now they just talk like twice a year... they didn't have major problems, it was a peaceful breakup, and she seems like a really cool girl. and I guess I've always been curious about her just because she was his "person" (Grey's Anatomy terms haha) for such a long time...

Is It Normal?

  • Believe me... She wants nothing to do with you

  • I mean it is nice and generous of you to want that but it could backfire on you, do you want that?

  • Stryker makes a good point. I think how you feel is normal, but she might not want to have anything to do with you seeing as, yeah, you're the girl now. But who knows, really? If it wasn't a bitter breakup, then there's a good chance that she wouldn't see you in a bad light. I say you should start conversation with her. Maybe over a social network like facebook, for a start, because it's a little less threatening. I think it would be cool if you became good friends with her. You'd have a lot to talk about!
    However, I'd be worried about what your boyfriend would think of it. If I were the guy, I'd probably be a little freaked out if my gf and my ex became friends. But again, who knows? He might get used to it and see it as really cool! Maybe you should ask him.

  • hmm it's a bit of a hard one...

    it might be extremely painful for her to see you, knowing that you're the special girl in his life now.

    i guess if both of you are fine and okay with eachother, then what could it hurt?
