Here is your workplace topic of the week...
Each of us have ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends from our past who we still have associations with in some capacity. Many of my friends feel very uncomfortable knowing that their current girlfriends maintain contact with past boyfriends. What happens when an argument takes place and the ex serves as a comforter? Is this a case of too close for comfort?
- When you approach new relationships, is it proper to maintain associations with your ex's?
- What boundaries should be put in place to ensure relationship integrity is maintained?

If one is approaching a new relationship, there may be situations that need to be considered about the other party before doing so. As in my case of divorce, maintaining associations with an ex because of children is extremely important. It is vital for the kids to witness their parents as "civil" and working collaboratively for THIER needs only. Outside of that situation, there is no need for any further association. This also applies to single moms and dads as well. HOWEVER, there is a "fine line" in this regard. If you find yourself constantly contacting your ex and using the kids as an excuse, you should reevaluate your decision to enter into a new relationship. It is totally unfair to the opposite party. In regards to an argument, if you can't get the comfort from your man or woman, you certainly don't need to search for this in your ex. (trouble, trouble and more trouble....need I say more)
In the case of boundaries, mature, christian adults should have NO problem handling this one.........
