I keep reading this forum and whenever I hear that an EX dumps someone and wants space, the advice to the dumpee has always been give her/him the space.

Why is giving the EX who wants space a good idea? Would this just allow them to fall into another person's arm if there is somebody in the wing?


What if a person doesn't give that EX the space? What are the negatives?

It's a good idea because this is what the ex wants.

This is possible, but remember, they are an EX. This is what ex's usually do.

A restraining order.

Yes that is one option. Beside a restraining order, would the ex resent you if you don't give them the space?

Of course the ex will resent you. That's a no brainer.

They tend to resent you, then hate your guts, and are so glad they broke up with you. Case in point, https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relationships/how-get-rid-boyfriend-wont-let-go-390741.html
