Contemplating 🤔

Update!

I had contacted my friend to see how he was doing. Just a little chit chat. I did this after speaking with my own family member. Upon hitting him up, he eventually asked where my babies were. Confused the hell out of me considering I don’t kids, yet. Lol me and my husband are trying, my friend is aware of that. That being said, I told him we haven’t been successful yet, and his response was “practice makes perfect”. I told my husband this, as I do not hide ANYTHING from him, he actually smiled and chuckled a little bit. That being said, it makes feel a little at ease knowing that 1. My friend does respect my marriage 2. My husband seems to be okay with the occasional conversation between my friend and I.

Thanks for all of your responses ladies! I appreciate it.

I have an ex (been split up for YEARS) who is basically like my best friend when we talk. We dated in high school, but we split my sophomore year right after I moved to a different state. We stopped talking for a while (he moved to Germany with his family , got a girlfriend and was happy) After he and his girlfriend split and I was single at the time, we started talking again. He was still in Germany and I was in the states. Nothing went further than a friendship due to the distance and him not being ready. Cool, I had moved on. I met my wonderful husband of 4 years this October, been with him now for 5 as of August.

Long story short, my ex is like my best friend. We can go months without talking and still click when we do get in touch again. We are both busy people. I guess my question for you ladies is, would you still keep in contact with someone whom you see as family/best friend even if it seems to upset your SO? Keep in mind this guy was in my life long before I met my SO. The guy has also said on multiple occasions that he respects my marriage and would never come in between my husband and I.

I am posting anonymously because I don’t need the judgement. It’s been like 7-8 years since I dated this guy.
