ok so I need some input here. Say you and a boyfriend or girlfriend and you had been dating for over 2 years and then break up(its reasonably amicable or at least its not a total suprise to either party) both sides agree to try friendship after a bit of awhile. During the few months you aren't in contact with your EX you meet someone new starting a new relationship. About this time you and the Ex Send a Few E-mail and decide to try being friends (adding each other on facebook and posting the odd message). which option would you think would be the best most respectful choice
a) writing an e-mail and explaining that you have met someone new and explaining that you weren't looking but that things just happened so that while it might hurt them to find out they would find out from you
b) not resume communition so that they wouldn't find out
c) not tell them but resume comunication so that they found out from your actions and the actions of your new Boy or Girlfriend.
while option would you chose and why would you justify it as being the most respectful?
for clarification this is not a situation I'm in so much as a situation that sruounds me. and I'm trying to see if other people can explain different points of view.
