We Can't Be Friends

" I went by mothers, saw your car there. To her still family and it don't seem fair..."

How many of you have been in relationship where you and your mate co-mingled? I'm talking movie nights with friends, family functions, and major holidays. You spent so much time together if you weren't around, your family reached out to the other because they knew you were either together or not too far apart. You were cool with the family and knew for sure they loved you like one of their own. You vowed that regardless of what happened in your relationship you would always stay in touch because the relationship you formed with them just wasn't based on your relationship with your ex. Isn't that easier said than done for both parties? As the ex, do you really feel comfortable staying in touch with his family? Aren't you afraid that maybe you just want to get in on what your ex has been up to? Or maybe their questions are just to give your ex the scoop on you? At what point are you being disrespectful to their new life or relationship? And what about your ex? How can they move on from you when their family is still in love with you? Most people value the opinion of their family and as long as you're continuing the relationship with them you will remain in their lives. Are they comfortable with that? Do they really want you to remain in the backgrounds reminding them of what once was? What if the break up was your idea? Shouldn't you give up your temporarily family pass or are you that selfish to think that the trials you've endured in that relationship gives you permanent access to the one thing that is rightfully theirs? So many questions come into play with this situation. Reality is, we all make promises of what we would do once the relationship ends. But when it happens, whether the break up was mutual or one-sided, can you make good on all the promises you made when it's finally reality and not just a hypothetical scenario?
