[quote=Anonymous]If she still is in love with her ex, your friend would have seen the signs by now and then meeting the ex would have been the a-ha moment for the behavior.   Why is your friend trying to cut bait?  Is he not into her and looking for an excuse, feeling the pressure like this sh$$ is about to get real because he met the ex-husband and maybe the kids, or worried about her being unfaithful because he has been burned before?

Because at the end of the day, it isn't about her ex-spouse, it's about her relationship with your friend.  Does he feel like it is lacking, like they never spend time together, he comes after walking the dog on the list of priorities, that they don't communicate well, she holds back with him but not with other people etc.  If your friend feels things are going well other than this worry, as pp mentioned if there really is too much getting along with the ex, that will end with a serious relationship unless the person has issues with setting boundaries in general.  If the person has issues with setting boundaries, chances are that dynamic will play out in their relationship and cause issues. It's  like we say when someone complains that they have an in law problem, it's like no, you have a spouse problem if your spouse isn't setting boundaries and has your back with his/her parents.[/quote]
