Like I said my ex was my only friend for a good three years and then we dated for one. My new bf I’ve only known a few months and he understands what’s going on in my life that I would want to talk to someone who knew me before the current situation. It’s not obsessing if there’s something going on that you want a former friend there for you for, when the reason you stopped talking was due to the new relationship.

Can you justify what you think you’ll get out of reaching out to this dude? Also, the reason why you guys broke up, and how the breakup went are valuable pieces of context.

We broke up on good terms but just because I moved away for college, he said to reach out if I ever needed anything and we’ve talked since. I just want a friend who knows my family to talk to about the current situation and he’s the only person in my life ever that’s met my family.

Regardless it’s not healthy to do that in a new relationship and while your current partner may say it’s okay (probably because it’s only a few months in so ppl have issues laying out boundaries) it will cause problems

Along with this, even if your current partner is cool with it further down the line, what’s to stop you or your ex from developing feelings again? I’m not saying y’all can’t be friends or anything, but at least keep your distance if you can

And in your og post, you said you “know how the break up went,” which implies negativity and possibly not what you or they wanted

It was just messy because it was over me moving away for school, I’m still away and no longer have anywhere in his state to be so even if he did develop feelings the distance would contradict it considering his original emotions I feel

So you’re talking with someone you’ve had such a deep relationship with for years and it only ended because of distance not growing apart. I’m sure you would be overjoyed if this was the other way around and u had to deal with it
