For a long while I used to be of the train of thought that there’s no need to contact the other girl and whilst the other girl doesn’t owe you anything, sometimes it can be progressive, especially if you for one reason or another have been given reason not to trust your partner (although that is often a sign that you need to exit stage left). Contact her and ask her straight, be respectful and make sure you don’t project your insecurities or anger on her. No matter the result of the conversation let your partner know after the conversation that you contacted her and give your reasons and if it turns out that it’s not as big of a deal as you thought, work on building trust with your partner. -Ebi A Haha I think it differs depending on the person. It could also differ depending on what the person means to you or what you mean to the person. So in short some people don’t see any difference, some do and context matters. All I know is if you want to find something out ask the person. If it’s an issue of whether something is appropriate or not, that’s down to what you have agreed with your partner. But don’t overthink, just ask/set boundaries/explain how you feel. -Ebi. A If there are feelings already involved and both of you are not on the same page (so assuming you want to move on and he wants a relationship) then there’s bound to be some hurt. However, one thing I’ve learnt is what makes these situations worse is a lack of transparency either from the start or during the most important parts of the “break up stage” . Consider this to be one of those important moments where that transparency is crucial. You need to be completely honest, do not leave the other person without telling them everything they need to know (this is assuming you care about their feelings). Finding out extra bs after a situationship brings the person who may have made progress in their healing back into the emotional mess you left them in. So the respectful thing to do is outline everything whilst applying a level of sensitivity but without twisting or watering down the truth. Don’t be selfish, tell them everything so they don’t find out from someone else and go on with your life. If there’s no hope for change don’t leave them without making it explicitly clear that this is the decision you have made and there’s no going back. Hope is what keeps people in situations they need to move on from. -Ebi A
