Stories of Exes go from one love story to the next. Some with beautiful endings like “awwww…so cute!” while some are not so good.
So, on the page of the not so good ending stories.
You dated, you had a great time while it lasted but while it was all going on, you were quite close to his siblings…uh-oh..but you broke up with him. Now what?
It’s not really about your Ex this time as much as it’s of his siblings so asking and trying to figure out how to move on with or without them in the picture is absolutely normal.
You may be thinking, apart from the pain or hurt you are currently going through, should you add the thought of your Ex’s siblings to the plate of things you need to deal with?
Are you meant to be crossed at them because their brother (or sister) made a life decision that no longer has you in it?
Do you just go with the “whatever” *insert eye roll here* flow or do you remain friends with them even though he doesn’t want you around or want to have anything do with you anymore?

Though some Ex’s siblings in some cases, don’t mind remaining friends with their sibling’s Ex- girlfriend or boyfriend. This is not as common in the large scheme of things so if you are in this boat, consider yourself “lucky”.
So what do you do if you are not that lucky or you find it awkward hanging around your Ex’s sibling when the person who birthed the relationship is long gone or may even be with someone else?
You most likely wonder what to say when you bump into them. Should you say hi or should you just walk away?
A limbo right?
It’s tough. I know.
If you were not close to them, then maybe a “hi” would do if you are up to it…but if you were, that’s where it gets a bit tangled.
Choosing to remain friends with an Ex’s sibling really depends on who you are and what you can take for the most part.
If you are fine with continuing with the relationship you have with your Ex’s siblings and you feel you can handle it well enough and they are also ready to keep in touch with you at the same time, then let it be.
However, if you are so badly hurt by the break up, keeping in touch with your Ex’s siblings might not be your best bet.
At that point, you need to avoid situations that will further hurt you more than the pain you are currently experiencing as much as possible.
If you are in this position, cutting off from them might just the best thing for you to do to keep focus and heal. Let them be -at least for now.
Bonus Tip
What if you are the one hurting from a break up and you don’t want your own siblings to have anything to do with your Ex?
If you have just broken up with your Ex and you do not want your own siblings to have anything to do with your Ex either because you find it odd, awkward or it simply just doesn’t feel right
OR
May be you just want them to stay away from him because you are so hurt and need some time to heal,
You could:
Let them know your wish- at least till you get over your current season of hurt. Although you’ve expressed this desire, you need to keep in mind however, that you don’t have control over what they choose to do. Their response or how they decide to see things will most likely depend on the surrounding circumstances that led to the break up between you and your Ex in the first place and not necessarily because of what you said or didn’t say.
