  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

When my boyfriend and I first started dating he was still fairly good friends with his ex, they still talked and hung out a little but they also shared all the same friends still. As the months went by they would no longer hug goodbye and talked less to now they only talk on occasion. At the beginning he had a picture of him and her from their Karate class hanging on a board in his room, when I mentioned it he just said it was part of his past and so on was all/ 6 months later I noticed it was gone, when mentioned to him he said duh it was his past and he didn't even remember it was there and why would he keep a pic like that up? (The female inside of me going... huh?) Then last night we were talking about nicknames... she had called him Wolfy and I had noticed a couple months ago that her nick on aim was still WolfysGal. When mentioned to him he was like so it's her nick she's had it for a long time... (Ok fine) Then on the discussion last night he said Wolfy was his nick and I told him why I refused to call him that and he *in a wondering tone* wondered if she still had that nick and he sounded like it would be really dumb if she did. (Can we say... huh?) What is this kind of mind melt? Is it the... emotions die over time thing can a guy explain this because I'm curious....

i have no clue. there is always feelings for the ex especially if they are still friendly to each other. its boils down to trust though.

Well, a person's emotion can't really speak for all. What your boyfriend did doesn't mean that it is typical among men. Emotion can fade overtime but I believe it still lingers for years especially a good relationship. However, the relationship between you and him is strong enough to overcome the old relationship. Why? you are much closer to him than his ex.
