He Broke Up With His Girlfriend, But Her Dad Still Wants To Be Friends With Him
Regardless of how long you have been with someone, whether it is a few months or even years, breaks up can play a significant role in your everyday life and hurt just the same.
When we break up with our significant other, it often means we break up with their friends and family as well.
Some of us don’t want to risk the thought of ever bumping into them again or dealing with a rough situation where the person outside of the relationship has to choose.
At the end of the day, some of us are lucky enough to meet our significant others’ families and carry a bond with them unlike any other.
So the question arises, are you allowed to stay friends with your exes’ parents?
While their relationship was good, this couple dated for four years and decided to call it quits.
The break-up was amicable. Based on their goals, they knew that parting ways was the only option.
They definitely don’t hate each other, but it doesn’t make it any less easy for the one who was not in 100% agreeance on the split.
Sadly, the girlfriend took the situation a lot harder than the boyfriend, which may be hard for her to handle the relationship between her father and her now ex-boyfriend.

The ex-boyfriend and the father of the girl had a great relationship. The dad would offer advice and connections on cars, and finances. They also have hung out plenty of times without her there.
With a household full of girls, the dad often looked at the ex-boyfriend as one of his own. His only son, if you will. Which definitely made the split even harder.
After the break-up, the father then calls the ex-boyfriend to let him know that while the situation is very unfortunate, he would still like to remain in contact with him.
The ex-boyfriend agrees that while they may not be able to hang out on a random Sunday afternoon, they could still call each other occasionally for advice and connections.
Now, the ex-boyfriend is looking to buy a house and wants to call his ex-girlfriend’s father in hopes that he may have some connections to people in the market. However, he is worried that he may be crossing a boundary with his ex.
At the end of the day, should our exes be allowed to stay in contact with our parents, especially if they are the ones who ended things?
