I think we can all agree that the ex is going to make another relationship pitch. She was with this guy for 8 freaking years. I know a lot of women think of relationships as investments, and a lot of them don't like to give up on investments.

It just seems like a woman that's 100% committed to the current relationship would have cut off all communication with this guy in the first place. Doesn't seem unreasonable. Like others said, I would want her to send some flowers and be done with it. She may love the ex's family but you have to break up with the family when you break up with the guy. They may be nice people but that's the way it is.

Holy shite, this happened to my close friend in August, but instead of grandmother it was a father.

Long-time ex (if I remember correctly 7 years) still contacts her and states he loves her, she "ignores it".

Long-time ex's dad passes away from stage 4 cancer, she sent flowers, went to the wake with my friend, and the morning of the funeral, she cancels on my friend and she goes to the funeral instead of my friend's annual family trip to Destin.

The girlfriend spends time with the ex during/after the funeral, etc.

The ex tries to woo her, etc. She tells my friend she's just trying to be "supportive" because the ex's dad was a big part of his life (uh, most parents are a big part of your life...)

I walk in on them making out in the library study room at school 2 weeks after the funeral.

"supportive" alright

I remember the face of oh shite.

Yup. My fiancee doesn't talk to any one she was with previously and either do I.

I feel like its one of those things that "nothing good comes from it." Regardless of intention, you lose nothing not communicating, but you have every thing to lose by doing so.
