"There is no reason to meet you"

End contact.

Problem solved.

You say you are barley in contact with him anyways, so what are you losing? Some pride? A little ego?
Who cares...

Too much drama.

Cannot stand that much drama.

Why the need for you and your ex to send personal Facebook messages to each other... I do not understand that one. I would not blame any current girlfriend involved with your ex not being happy about that... especially if they are in a committed relationship.

Time for the you and your ex to move on with your lives. The past is the past.

Yeah...

I wonder about that too.

Exactly what does she think her ex will do by staying in contact with him?

What does she hope will happen by staying in contact with him?

Talk about awkward... Don't agree to this meeting, it'll just get weirder & potentially VERY high drama. I would tell him politely that you respect their relationship & will step back.. They've only been together 5 months, he will probably resume contact w/ you after they break up anyway..

How long were you two together and when did you split up?

I really wish people with "unfinished business" would find a way to finish it before getting into relationships with others.

So much drama, her texting you, should never happen. Him giving you a lot of personal information about the dynamics of his new relationship shouldn't be happening either.

Staying in contact isn't healthy for you, regardless of his girlfriend, if you're not able to move on. I don't believe people can switch from a romantic to platonic relationship overnight. Usually some time, distance and perspective is required. I also don't believe it's necessary (or healthy) to keep in contact with exes either. Sometimes people that come into our lives are also meant to go out of it, not orbit on the periphery.

The only time I would talk to the x's GF is if I know that the guy is physically abusive in his relationships. Otherwise, I agree with what everyone else is saying here. Let him go completely, lest you get caught up in his r'ship drama with every new gf.

Go all the way. Invite her to lunch at a public place. Try to share your mutual disgust of men. Nothing says non threat than two women bonding over food, shopping and a mutual disappointment with the male species.

If she's really resistant to the both of you talking, this is something that can be resolved between the both of them, though.
I agree with this statement. She might just want to beat the crap out of you. You need to cut ties off with your ex, just out of respect for the new girlfriend. She might see you guys friendship as a threat to her relationship with your ex. Just be strong and leave that one alone, no contact. It is time for you to move on and get you a new boyfriend.

Yes, why would the OP want all this drama. Just end the relationship once and for all, let him be an ex. And he's got a gf, that should be "closure" enough.
