It’s a tricky situation to be in when you have a good girlfriend while still being in contact with your ex. Such a scenario needs mature understanding and trust from all 3 people and only then will everyone be happy.
1. Keep in touch through social networking websites
If you and your ex are not really good pals but she still considers you to be a good friend and tries to speak to you, you could chat online for the sake of maintaining cordial relations. Don’t get over friendly by talking to her daily through text messages and calls.
2. Don’t hide it from your present girlfriend or ex
Never make the mistake of not informing your ex about your non-single status. A healthy friendship should be formed on the basis of honesty and if you don’t tell her about your current girl, she may try her luck with you again. Also, inform your current girlfriend about your contact with your ex because if you are not doing something wrong then why hide? If she finds out about your friendship with your ex later, you would be in for a bad time.
3. Introduce them to each other
The best way to get your current girl to trust you with your ex is by introducing them to each other. Once they meet one another, they will be able to let go of some of their inhibitions or feelings of dislike.
4. Make sure your ex has moved on
A tricky situation that has been boggling people since ages is the issue of love triangles. Before you embark on a post breakup friendship with your ex, make sure she is not hitting on you in any way or trying to reconcile. Look out for hints in her way of talking, frequency of communicating, etc. If you feel she is still pining for you while you have moved on for good, gently break off contact with her by telling her that it’s not right for you to be friends with each other.
5. Take a firm stand on trust
If you feel your ex is a great friend who is too good to lose, then don’t let your girlfriend and her trust issues come in between the two of you. Explain to her the whole of your relationship that you shared and still share with your ex. Why you are still in touch with her, details of the breakup, etc. Convince your girlfriend that she is the more precious one for you and she has no reason to feel threatened.
6. Don’t be a hypocrite
You can’t bar your girlfriend from communicating with her ex while you stay in touch with yours. If you demand trust from her for you, then you should trust her too.
7. Don’t meet your ex alone
Never make the mistake of meeting your ex girlfriend alone, especially at her or your house. One never knows with emotions because they are unpredictable and could very well lay the ground for cheating. If you want to meet her, then get your current girlfriend or some mutual friends along, otherwise it’s all just too awkward.
8. Don’t rave about one to the other
It’s common knowledge that girls do not like it when a guy talks fondly about any other girl, especially if he has been romantically involved with them at some point. Don’t talk about your ex to your current partner and vice versa. You would only be cooking a recipe for disaster, as each girl will feel threatened.
