While some people may live by the mantra "An ex is an ex for a reason", if you're like me and naturally a 'we are the world', 'can't we all get along' type of person you don't hold grudges for long and can usually find it in your heart to keep it civil with your exes. But being friendly and forgiving with them can sometimes be trouble, especially when you enter into a new relationship.
Call it being naive but I do think that in some cases exes can JUST BE COOL! I've been argued down that exes (men especially) only reach back out to an ex in order to keep a door open just in case. I think this is such a masculine mindset to have. Agree or disagree?
SCENARIO : Exes, who had been estranged for about a year or more, end up casually speaking again on rare occasions. The man then reaches out to the woman to propose a business venture and asks for her help. He first asks to call and go over it, but then asks to meet in person. She agrees to at least hear him out but she is also currently involved in a relationship where her new man knows of the past situation.
Is he likely trying to get back into her life using business as a front? Is she wrong to entertain the situation at all? If he was also in a new relationship, would it make him wrong for asking? Would you be okay working with an ex or if your partner chose to?
I think that more info is needed before you can really say so. How did it end, why did it end, did he agree with it, does he ususally do business, can she really be an assest? I mean you never know. Maybe she was a business major and he needs some tips. I think it is ok to have the contact and do the deal. however a lot of things do play into it.
ReplyDeleteHow did it end: Well let's see...one of the things stated was that he wanted someone more his type (light skinned, long hair) ...
ReplyDeleteIt ultimately ended b/c there was too much doubt, trust issues and overall dissatisfaction from both sides
He has come up with business ideas before and they tried to work together before they finally severed ties but it didn't work.
She's not a business major but has an interest in the line of work he was needing her for
So why would he try to get back an ex that wasn't his type that he was also dissatisfied with? The way men work, if you not our type you get a much shorter rope and even less comeback ability. I would say everything there is on the up and up.
