The ex meet-up

The ex meet-up

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

Your partner has an ex that broke their heart so much that they took out their pain on you, the new person in their life. You stuck by their side through all their doubts, insecurities, and fears that you would do the same to them. Over time you gained their trust by helping them to put back the pieces of their broken heart together; and you gave them the ability to love again.

And just when you are about to reap the rewards of your hard labour in the form of them loving you without fear, in walks their ex wanting to make right their wrong by apologising to your partner and asking to meet up.

You know that your partner loves you, and seeing this ex may help them get the closure they need to build a more healthy relationship with you.

Do you say it’s not a good idea, or do you tell your partner they should go?

Valerie:

Sure, he and I can go meet up with this ex. He wouldn’t be going alone.

Devon:

I would tell her to go, praying that this ex doesn’t have any power over her, and won’t have her falling for him all over again.

Cathy:

It is not a good idea. If this ex is so sorry for the pain she caused, let her call on the phone or video chat, but no in-person meeting.

Danielle:

She is an ex and based on the damage she did to his heart, I don’t think he would go down that road again after seeing what true love is like with me. So he can go and get his closure.

Greg:

I wouldn’t want her to go but I know that she needs to move on with her life so I would support any decision she makes.
