I need clarification on contact post-breaking up with someone. I recently broke up with a guy I was with for a few months- he fell in love with me, but I didn't think we were working out and wanted to be on my own. I miss him, but as a friend I could talk to anything about. I don't really miss having him as a boyfriend. We still get on, circumstances mean we have to see each other several times a week, although only for extremely brief times (normally about 5-10 minutes).
The problem is I think he's contacting me more than is healthy. I know how he feels about me, and I think he needs time to get over me and move on. When someone has broken up with me I try and avoid contact, or I end up not being able to move on. I'm sure most people on here follow the same idea. But he still texts me every few days (not so bad, I guess), and just today asked me to meet him 'just for coffee' on Friday. I don't know how to handle this situation. With a previous ex, after we broke up I ignored him trying to contact me, as he would normally start off with just an average friendly conversation before then trying to get me to go back out with him. I feel I handled that break up badly, so I don't want to just ignore my latest ex.
How do you handle your ex contacting you in the first few days/weeks after a break up?
Put the internet to work for you.
