Dating : (22F) seek advice about High school exes (21M) mom still messages me asking how I’m doing while I’m in a relationship with my bf (23M)
TLDR: Is it weird or disrespectful of me towards my new bf for my exes mom to still contact me after two years no contact w her son and is it bad I still respond to her even after I’m in a new relationship? Any advice helps!
So basically my high school ex that I dated for 4 years ended bad he was super toxic and controlling but his family was so sweet and I loved them so much and vice versa. It got so bad to the point even his lol said he doesn’t deserve me and that she wouldn’t blame me for breaking up with him.
After he and I broke up about 2 years ago now his mom would ask me out for lunch twice and then I moved away for college and she messages me on holidays and birthdays to check on me.
My ex doesn’t know about this I think… and I’m currently in a healthy happy relationship currently 8 months in.
I don’t want to be disrespectful to my bf but I don’t want to be rude and not respond to her as she was a second mom to me during that relationship not sure what’s best to do?
I don’t think that’s weird or disrespectful. There’s no weird carry on between you and your bf, you just met a very sweet woman through him that you’re gonna get back to when she reaches out! It’s sound :)) I’m
At this point, while she is your ex’s mom, she is moreso your friend than anything. I think that’s what you need to explain to him if you ever need to.
