Going on Holiday with Your Ex?

Above: Tim Bender

HE SAID READER: I recently left a long term relationship. A group of our mutual friends asked both of us, even though they know that we aren't together anymore, if me if I wanted to join them on a week long vacation. They're also inviting my ex. I like the destination and the people. What should I do?

TB: Wow...great destination, good friends and a week long vacation! Sounds like a great time. You don't mention what terms you and your ex are on. If it's anything but smooth...I don't care how great the future fun may sound; stay away. But, if the accommodations (separate rooms, and lots of space) are right, along with truly being over your past relationship, you might consider it. And, who knows, your "ex" may decide not to go. Bon voyage!
