I broke up with my ex 3 years ago, he was my best friend. It wasn’t really an amicable break up and I blocked him for 2 years after that. We started speaking again late last year and I’d still say we’re acquaintances currently. I’ve made peace with all that but the “problem” is I still talk to his mum. She’s such an amazing woman and she was really there for me when I lost my dad 4 years ago. Been sick throughout Eid and she calls to check up on me and my mum 🥺. When I tell people that I don’t really talk to her son —but I talk to her, they look at me weird and I get it 😂. I don’t know how to create distance but the thing is I don’t really want to. (I haven’t been in any serious talking stage or dated again after my ex and I ended things) I’m not planning on lying to anyone I end up dating or talking to in the future about this though. I just think it’s a weird situation to be in so I don’t really know what to do
