texting your ex


I've got a couple of friends who text their ex. I've been considering this subject closely. Is it cheating? i think it largely depends on what is being said and whether its been hidden from the current partner. if your relationship is purely friendship with you ex now and your current partner is ware of this friendship, and perhaps even gets along with your ex then i dont think this classes as cheating. obviously the normal rules apply to this subject, only does cheating with an ex make it worse? somehow you feel more betrayed if your cheated on, and it was with their ex, perhaps this is because you've been constantly living in their shadow, and obviously if they'd rather return to their ex you didnt do a very good job and 'beating' the ex? my friends dont understand that texting their ex hurts their current partner and constantly say "we're only friends" but can you ever be just friends with an ex? will there always be something more lingering there? and my one friend tries to hid it from his current girlfriend, or doesnt disclose the whole truth, instead of admitting he saw his ex, he said he only spoke to her on the phone, not in person. this clearly shows that he feels guilty about seeing the ex in person, knows this would upset his girlfriend, so he clearly feels hes doing something wrong?

i found this site where they are discussing this topic:


personally i think its not a good idea to tex you exes, even if it is all honest and youve both moved on, it puts strain on your current relationships , and obviously there is a reason your exes, so maybe you should just except this, you have other friends, let the ex go.
