How would you react, if an old lover sent you a Valentine's Card?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) February 9th, 2012

Question: would you dare send a Valentine Card to an old lover or gf or bf? If so, what kind of havoc would this create in your “now” family, if it were discovered? And, how would it be received by your old lover? Also, suppose you received a Valentine Card from an old lover. What would you do and how would you react?

Yuck. That would be so innapropriate. I would not receive it well, and I would never do it. I am friends with one old boyfriend. Well, facebook friends, and his wife too. I would never ever think of sending him a valentine, and I would probably tell him not to send me another if he sent me one.

I wouldn’t react at all. I would ignore it completely as I am not interested in making that kind of contact with old boyfriends. I have no need or desire to send my ex’s a Valentines.

That really depends on which one. I’m good friends with some of them. Two of them, really. So I wouldn’t mind. The rest wouldn’t bother me too much, because I never talk to them. If I were in a relationship then it would be weird and inappropriate though.

Yes, depends on the situation. I’m single and so are several of my ex’s, so, no harm there, it might be a bit surprising, but I would take it as a friendly gesture. I remain friends with several ex’s. If it was an ex like my ex husband, well, uh no, nor would I send him a card. If it’s just a friendly thing I don’t see an issue.

It would create zero havoc.

I wouldn’t have a reason to send a Vday card to an ex lover and it would be awkward if I received one. My husband would think it odd but I doubt he’d be jealous or make any fuss. Sending a birthday card or holiday card, sure but not a Vday card.

There’s really only two that could make me do little more than pause before possibly burning the valentines card.

I’d be mildly surprised they let them use crayons in the institute for the permanently bewildered.

lol@ucme…. I think I dated people like that too.

Depends who it was. I would be horrified if some people sent one. Others, I would see it as a friendly gesture.

I think my husband would want to know who was sending me valentines but otherwise, it wouldn’t cause a ripple.

It wouldn’t create any havoc but I would most likely toss it straight in the bin. Like @JLeslie says, I think it’s highly inappropriate.

No wait, there’s one ex-lover I’d keep the card…

They’d better be free of encumbrances if they do send one, that’s all I can say.

I would not react.
