Hi katheryn. I would have to tell him that I couldn't handle him having contact with her because I don't think I could. I would hope that he would respect my feelings and not have contact with her. If he wouldn't, I think I would have some decisions to make.

I would have to tell him I diddnt feel comfortable with it and that I wouldnt be able to handle it. It would only cause problems.

I would definitely tell him that you are not comfortable with this, and that he needs to respect your request that he not have contact of any kind with her. IMHO - it seems like he is sorta keeping the door open with her if you and he don't stay together. I would definitely put my foot down with a very loud "NO" !

Under most conditions, I would say it is important for you to let each other have and keep your own friends unless they are destructive influences...

But this is not a normal condition. He broke your trust with this woman. You are back together, but he still has to regain (earn) your trust. Asking him not to have any contact with this woman is a resonable step for him to take to help work toward that goal. And honestly, it would have been nice if he understood that and hadn't asked you about it in the first place.

I agree with the others. I'd definately ask him to have no contact with her. In some situations, remaining friends is fine, but in this case, IMO it's inappropriate. Just my two cents.

Sounds like you know what is best. Renew friendship? who is it expecting you to keep the friendship? My opinion for sure is take care of you and not worry about their stuff!!!!! they didn't.
