3 of 4 The EX's

Hmmm… One topic couples always avoid is the Ex. “Never talk to or about your Ex again.” “Never invite your Ex to parties.” Well, ladies and gentlemen, I even start the topic. Unfortunately, my boyfriend feels awkward when I ask about his past relationships.

I believe you get to know the other person when you learn about his/her past relationships. You can have them as basis for an evaluation your current situation. It might sound too geeky, but it’s true. Why avoid your past, when you can clearly learn from it?

Sometimes the worry is that the spark of the old relationship might come back upon the discussion of it. Try looking at it rationally; you’ll realize that if it does, your relationship would reveal itself to be a rebound relationship. You would’ve been kidding yourselves in the first place. If you talk about it, you save yourselves the trouble of an unhappy and unsatisfied life.

Should the “Ex conversations” become a reason for parting ways, I think it’s fine to be angry for a while. However, if you really loved and cared for person, try to be happy that he/she is happy, then try to move on and find your own happiness.
