I heard this question on the radio and it really made me think... and to tell you the truth, i really would not feel comfortable if I knew my partner was going to have lunch with an ex..I guess depending on who initiated the meeting, I would ask why is it so important to meet your ex. What in the world would they need to talk to each other about?? There are many reasons why they're not together so what would be the point? Would you feel comfortable if your partner had lunch with an ex?? If you've dealt with this before, please share your story.

I'm thinking noway. To me, it would be a great act of disrespect. What's done is done and after that..it's over. It has nothing to do with trust in my opinion. I deserve more respect than that and so does anyone else.

It is a tough issue for most wives, but if the ex is from another city just for a short visit, I believe it should be ok. The spouse should have his privacy to be repected, but he should keep well in mind the incidental meeting should not do harm to the family. And the wife should be confident of the relationship and do not be overaffected in the negative way.

Neah i would be comfortable with my partner meeting her ex. She loves me (assumption) and thats the reason why i have confidence in her. It all depends upon how much love you are in.

I cannot come up with a reason why that would be acceptable. I am sorry but I would need more information like what is ex. I once dated a guy a few times and then dated his friend for a few months. We were all friends in that case. I think that if it is an ex from a marriage then there is just too many reasons why that should not happen.
