My fiance doesnt want me speaking to him or even ABOUT him. I originally told him I wouldnt but he was sicker than I thought and may not be alive in a year. His friend messaged me and my fiance saw it and was upset because he saw I still touch base occasionally with my ex to see how he is. My ex has two kids whom I was practically a step mother to for 6 years from when they were 2 and 3 to 8 and 9. It's not like it's just a guy I dated for a few weeks. Anyway, I have no feelings for my ex at all but I would talk to a stranger if they needed someone to talk to. I'm just that kind of person. My fiance told me if I continue touching base with him or even talkin to his friend about him, he will end our relationship. I am thinking why is it that I cant? I mentioned that I havent even seen him in years and it aint inappropriate at all. Keep in mind he has a son so he is always in contact with his ex he shares a kid with. [Although that is a little different.] I just think that I will be upset with myself if I wasnt there for him to message when needed. Like I would feel guilty when he dies because I wasnt there to help him through the bad times. All he wants is someone to talk to about him being sick. Is that such a harsh thing??

It's fine to touch base, who doesn't like a good baseball game.



Or what do you mean by touching base?







**Ooooh. It shouldn't be wrong to just talk to him in fb messages or texts, but you should still talk about it with your future husband. Every successful marriage has strong communication, which leads to stronger bonding and trust.

Explain to your finance the situation and put him in your ex's shoes. I have a teacher who is still in contact with his ex-girlfriend from high school because he promised her mother on her deathbed he would care for her (his ex-girlfriend is anorexic and he is married with a kid). Don't go behind your finance's back to talk to him because he will get mad and things will get worse them there. If your finance if not willing for you to speak to your ex or to any other guy, then he is being very over protective and (I'm sorry) but inconsiderate.
