Is communication with your ex boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife still good

[ClassyLady]

Well, there aren't many people who've had the title of "boyfriend" (most don't last the during the trial period), so there aren't too many ex's to keep in contact with. However, I still talk regularly to some guys that I've dated or just considered dating. Actually, one of them is a very close friend now. The two of us decided that we would be much better off as friends than potential lovers.

The last guy before my current boyfriend is now a guest of the state (he's on lockdown). When he first went in, I tried to write letters and visit occasionally for moral support. But now, I just don't care. That's not true. I care, but I have grown and the two of us don't really have anything to talk about. I have a new man and new friends. All he wants to talk about is how he still cares for me and how he can't wait to get out so we can make a life together. Mind you, this same man got another girl pregnant while we were together and had another girlfriend on the side. I didn't find out any of this until he landed in jail. He is not getting out of jail for another five years and he's already been in there for three. Why in the world would I wait for you for all that time after all you've done?
