Should you stay friends with your ex's family?

It depends on how chummy you get. If you are hanging out with them every weekend, no, absolutely not. Christmas cards every year, maybe. I'll tell you why.

OMG, finally someone that truly gets how inappropriate and disrespectful it is for my ex-gf to try and remain friends with my brother. You're the best thank you for explaining this very huge problem that I am having right now in a very clear, concise and nonjudgmental way.

My ex wife still talks to one of my sisters and even my mom. I don’t like it and think it’s weird. Like seriously I feel it’s disrespectful to me they would still want to have anything to do with her after everything that happened.

I'm going thru that right now as we speak

[simplymegan]

I really needed this. My ex Mom really wants to keep a relationship with me and at this point I don’t know if we should continue the friendship because she does fill me in on things that go on with him and at first I was loving getting all this inside information. Now I’m thinking this isn’t good for me because it’s making me hold on to someone that I’ve let go of and deep down I want us to work things out but I really do need to let it go…

well from my experience I would NEVER keep contact with my ex.'s family. Too dangerous. Don't want to wake up with a face full of acid.

My ex is in regular contact with my mother still, after 4 years of separation. It used to annoy me quite a lot. Now through meditation and having read the ‘Power of Now’ it’s helped me to not make this into a big issue. Requires self work though, wasn’t easy. 🙌🌗💚 x

when you end a relationship u should end everything bc that's what a real person would do only losers wants to hang want a piece of something that's not ur anymore...

[ghostly]

Good advice, to have a little self respect and not to look for something that doesn't exist, or wait for something that will never happen. :)

Hi thank you for the video. Can you talk about the family keeping communication with their son/daughter ex?
Scenarios
-kids and no kids involved
-son/daughter married to another person

[mybusiness]

I agree with what you say, it creates some very awkward situations.

[crazy]

Thank you!! I recently divorced and am struggling with this 🥺

[jeremygordy]

So please someone hmu and.let me no if im wrong for thinking like i think about her going over there all the time. Please because she see nothing at all wrong with it and everytime i bring it up she blows up on me

i would not stay in contact with an ex's family b/c 1) if we're breaking up, i should not still be around his family 2) if we break up, but my ex has a new girlfriend (it is awkward for the new girlfriend) 3) when i get a new boyfriend, his family would not want to hear that (we should be able to tell our close friends that type of info) 4) me & the ex would know too much in each other's love life from his family.

[Komediyantengpinay]

How about the family reach out then send pictures of him when im minding my own business when i never asked any updates about my ex..

[ks_muffin]

What about ex's friends? Should we cut ties with his friends group too? I mean they are our mutual friends (and i share a great bond with one of them) but they are in his boys group..Someone please give me suggestions, I had a recent messy breakup😢

[ivia_ol]

My boyfriend is friends with his ex's family. We just had a fight over that this morning. He won't cut ties and it makes me feel anxious. Im not the type of woman who likes to snoop but on the other hand you don't know what's going on behind your back, its sad. I'm not heard ...

But there is a situation when it is not really possible: when we have a kid together and the kid is with me. I and my son, we live far far away from my ex-husband and his family, but since we are far away, the family is in contact with me through Facebook, and with my son too of course. I didn't ask for that, they did. They don't say anything confidential about him, and I don't either, about him or me, it is just Facebook talks, nothing alarming. Even divorced, I am kind of a part of their family, since I am the mother of their nephew, cousin, little nephew... Not so obvious to handle, I can't just not answer when they talk to me, I just try to be polite here, my ex and I we are separated since 8 years, and I actually don't hope anything anymore. I just don't want to build a wall in the middle of my son's life. What do you think of this?

[patricknunez]

I’m married to someone who is friendly and has pictures of her ex husband kids from other women, is that normal???

[shanyamenard]

Can please do one on, why my ex boyfriend wants to be friends with all my family on face

[carolpeachey]

My partners ex girlfriend (together for only 2.5 yrs) has virtually adopted his daughters family...buys them extravagant presents and is now starting to get called Nanna... His daughter now treats him badly and has even said to him that his ex is a better Grandparent. We've been together for 1.5 yrs and I've had to put up with her constantly liking and commenting on his family and friends posts, I'm annoyed with her but also annoyed with his agree with you....she needs to move on
