Crikey!! Who is this Master Bill?! What's his phone number?! LOLOriginally Posted by GaryWilcox
Joking aside, i agree with what MrJG said, i think it totally depends on the relationship and in that sense is a completely relative, not absolute decision. In terms of the Master Bill example, clearly in this example everything is not as it should be, and that's not wholly the same as someone wanting to retain platonic contact with an ex, i'd say this was pretty much inherant in what both FF and MrJG said.
Having said all that, i think it's natural to sometimes feel a very small amount of jealousy or anxiety - both very negative words, but i dont mean them in a negative sense...i just mean that i don't think someone would be human if the never ever felt the odd twinge of some of the slightly darker sides of human emotion; the trick being to remind oneself of the secure nature of the relationship and not to let it turn a them into a despotic, manipulative monster.
