Is it okay?

I been thinking and wondering...

Is it okay to allow your partner to be friends with his ex?

What do I think?

I think maybe? Yes, because as long as I am doing my womanly duties as his girl then I have nothing to worry about. No, because what could they possibly be talking about? Day to day stuff and old memories. I would not like the idea of them mistakenly rekindling any feelings while remembering past times. Big mistake!

However, I do believe that everyone needs closure and if that his way of closing it then give it time and go from there.

I have been in this situation where I was nice enough to allow my bf to remain friends with his ex, only to find out down the line they had begun secretly dating. Whoo! was I pissed but I knew I had left myself open to this stupidity. My fault, I won't get fooled again.

So...

What Do You Think?

A little twist*

Just a quick Testimonial!


********************
"1000 Questions for Couples ruined my relationship. My sweetheart
and I went through the initial 33 questions and I thought things
were great. But after going through some of the questions in the
full version I came to see that I was so blinded by love I didn't
realize I was dating someone who was manipulative, controlling
and abusive. You saved me a lot of heartache. Thanks." - name

3 Ways To Re-Spark The Magic Back Into Your Relationship

Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t
have the magic and romance that it once had? Feel
like you're stuck in a rut and always doing the
same things?

You’re not alone. After dating someone for a long
time, it's easy to slip into a stable and
comfortable routine. However, you often lose
the spark that made your relationship so special in
the first place. Not to worry, here are three
simple, fun and creative ways to reignite that
magic:

1. GIVE THEM A UNIQUE GIFT

Name a Star after your partner. A number of
astronomical agencies allow individuals to name
stars and you receive formal documentation
identifying the star that you have named. Or how
about this: Give your partner a magic gift box, and
every month place a new small gift in the box for
your beloved to discover.

2. SAY "I LOVE YOU" IN A UNIQUE WAY

Take a book that your partner is reading and, using
a pencil, underline letters in a section of the
book she has yet to read to spell out a secret
message of "I love you" or an entire love letter.
Doing it just like this. Or for something really
unique: You can buy special plants that grow and
after 14 days display a message of your choice on
the leaf. Cool or what!

3. START GOING ON DATES AGAIN

One thing that separates couples with 'out of this
world' relationships, is they never stop doing new,
fun and exciting things with their partner. In
other words, they never stop dating and neither
should you.

Spend the day doing fun things: go to the carnival,
the beach, have a water fight, stare at the clouds
on a grassy hill, go on a picnic, walk in the rain
without raincoats and umbrellas, dress up in funny
costumes and hit the town. Or how about this: Pick
your partner up for a date and blindfold her before
driving to a special destination. Try to make the
destination something really unexpected like a
table set up at the top of a cliff or a dinner on a
boat or old-fashioned ship. It needs to be
something that will have an impact when she removes
the blindfold.

Believe me when I say that NOTHING can rekindle the
love, passion and excitement in your relationship
more than going on fun and creative dates together.
