The question asked by the person who has ended a relationship is should I keep in touch with my ex? You might have made the decision to end the relationship for good reasons, but now, with time to reflect on the breakup you might be asking yourself if you should still keep in touch now that the relationship is over.
Breaking off a relationship is traumatic and stressful. By keeping in touch with your ex, you are leaving avenues open to restore the relationship, and your ex might be hanging on to that slim glimmer of hope. It is up to you whether you want that state of affairs to continue, or would you rather close the door firmly now, and move on in your life.
It is hard enough when you dealing with other peoples feelings, and sometimes it is difficult to know what to do next. As long as you carry on communicating with him or her you will always have those memories of the time you were together coming back to you. Such memories remain in the subconcious for a long time. Ask yourself if you would ever think about getting back together.
If the answer is no, the best course is to explain to your ex partner that you feel you were not right for each other, and move on. Time is a great healer for everyone, especially for those who have been emotionally scarred.
If you meet someone else, and you decide to keep in touch with an ex, you are going to have some explaining to do, and you don't know how your new partner is going to take the news of that old relationship.
In the final analysis it is up to you. Only you will know if your heart is truly in a relationship or not. If not, part on good terms, and follow your conscience.
