i dont think this is normal i think she still wants him in her life even tho theyre divorced she shuld let go of him and he shuld move on too. and he might be affected real;l;y badly which is y he shuld lay low from her maybe go somewhere to hang with his friends. also he culd just say no wen she asks for favors, i mean she has a husband y cant the husband help the wife. \ngood luck to the guy

Oh this is sad. :( Are they married?  If they are married it is your responsibility to steer as far clear of her as you possibly can.  If they are just dating, it depends on how confident you are that she might return your feelings.  Love is tricky, and to tell you the truth there are no rules.  What the heck, tell her, or don't tell her.  You my friend are the one who will have to ultimately live with the consequences of your decision.  Whatever you do decide, realize that you are worth it and there is definitely someone special out there waiting for you.  Good luck!!!!!!! PS- Okay admit it, she is one of the SeaGals...I knew it!  LOL Have a great day!

As he is your friend that you say that you are so close to, i do not think that anyone else will be able to tell you what you should give.  The only advice i can give is that, anyone can buy jewelry, etc but it is the silly things that count and would mean more.  You know this man, it would have to be some thing personal that you shard together.  Also you say your getting married, I hope you are not saying goodbye to your Friend? mar rage does not mean you have to get rid of your Friends male or female.

My friendship with my ex never created a problem with my current b/f. My b/f understands that my ex and I were friends first and that's how we'll always be despite what happened in our relationship. There are certain boundaries that you should not cross though. There is always suspicion when it comes to dealing with your current's ex, and that's normal. It's a human thing. Just try not to take it too personal unless you're sure there's a reason to.

This person was an important part of his life in the past. Regardless of the fact the she was a past girlfriend, she was obviously a good friend of your husbands. You don't say how long it has been, but you should allow him enough time to grieve his loss. People deal with death in different ways. If he needs space, give it to him. Perhaps he feels strange grieving around you because it was an ex-girlfriend. Maybe he doesn't want to hurt your feelings by showing his feelings for another woman. Whatever the case may be, I am sure he will come around in time once he has dealt with his loss.

You should be able to be friends. If both of your spouses really don't mind go for it. Just be sure that it doesn't go to far.

If I'm understanding you correctly, your friend is abroad (out of the country) and his wife isn't happy.  Maintaining a long-distance relationship takes a lot of commitment and it doesn't always work out.  What part of the relationship doesn't she understand?  It would help to have more info about the situation.

Ouch!!\n\nOK to me you are doing the right thing in being honest and stopping the sleeping part of your new found friendship with this lady but I cant help feel this new friend is trying emotional black mail on you if she is living with her ex as you mentioned and who isn't to say she isn't sleeping with him why she has been with you?\nI would be more concerned about STD in this situation than her letting go.\nJust stand your ground and be firm and stick to what ever you decide.\nI think your current relationship will rekindle if you both put time and effort into it like you are.\nThey say a break is as good as a holiday.\nSadly some people can think they are in love because they are craving for any type of attention which they could be lacking in there own life or present relationship so they go and search for it else were.\nWe are all guilty of that at some point of time in our life! If we are honest.\nSo once someone nice like you seem comes along and gives them that attention and gives them the inner emotional needs like sex or comfort,then financial help and any other type of assistance whether its companionship or just a cuppa and chat and most times can be taking out of context making it hard for you in this case to break away or "get away".\nSadly some people cry wolf when they see another vulnerable person like them selves which is an easy target to latch on to.\nAs she has found with you!\nPlease just end this other connection with this other lady but sadly I cant help feel she may start giving you a hard time if not your partener of 2 years. \nAs she will feel jealouse of you going back to her and most probly wonder what is wrong with her for you to leave her after a month but honestly this her thinking and doing and not yours.\nDont fall for any emotional words as they are based on making you feel guilty..\nBe strong..And good luck.

Yes, of course. friend ship between opposite sex very possible and very good and healthy. But always avoid meeting each other in alone. And if possible have friend of good age difference, preferably elder age.  Good luck.

I would just let them disconnect their relationship for now.\n\nAnd maybe they will be good friends

personally i'd let it be...there is no good reason for keeping ties to them...say a prayer for them and then move on

I personally think you have made a smart move and are taking responsibility for what is yours. I would NOT stay with or talk with the ex girlfriend. (why mess up what you are trying to recreate). I can understand why you were made at your wife, but she is your wife and more importantly the daughter is yours.

Firstly must say you seem like a very special man. Secondary I shall say that it is time that you concentrate on yourself a bit more (to be able to move forward)\n\nBe respectful, always reliable, helpful, be understanding, be her shoulder to cry on (life is funny.. but wheel turns). But at the same time give her space at this time as you don’t want to loose her.\n\nI had a friend who his wife left him for another man. They have two kids together. He was always there for her (but had other girlfriend but did not commit 100%: in fact I was one J ). If she was sick, or needed something, or pick their kids up: he was always there, kept nice contact with ex-in laws because of the kids.. She went back to him when she was in trouble. He let her. He let her leave him again for yet another man (even married) He was her friend, warned her about the guy who ended up to be an abuser. She left this guy in the end, she matured, and they now together (but he did not remarry), He is now 48, his wife 8 year younger. He married he as she was only 19.\n\n*******************************\nJust remember:\n*******************************\n\nForming a relationship with your ex is entirely separate from the process of ending a marriage; if you work through the process to achieve your "emotional divorce," you can cultivate something entirely new. Your old relationship is over; take the steps to heal so that you can invest your energy elsewhere.\n\nGood luck.\n\nps meant to say: and you get a new hobby and have fun with other people as soon you will feel better and might make new friends and will not feel lonely. The reason why we LOVe or MISS people is beuase we miss that comunication. Once you communicate with others it will be better for you. And who knows, maybe your ex -wife seeing how popular and outgoing you are might ant to herself be your friend asap.........  show her your new side that she did not see before :-)

Not trying to be blunt or rude, but there are "plenty of fish in the sea", as they say. Look elsewhere and leave this one alone. Your friendship wasn't very tight if she can walk away that easily... sorry, dude!

The truth is that you can't.  If you move, there is still contact, and it is the contact that is damaging to a relationship.  I moved countries with my ex wife, her family had just as much pull with 5000 miles between them and us as they did when we were there just a few miles away.\n\nTime and bereavements are the only way...\n\nGood luck!
