Post Break-up, do you have to talk to the parents etc?

[ciacia18]

This is a weird question, but say you broke up with a boyfriend and you're really close to his family as in parents, cousins, etc. Do you have to make an effort to thank them for making you feel like family (parang thank you and "goodbye" thing na din)?

I was able to talk to one of his titas kasi recently and I was told na hinahanap nga daw ako ng parents niya since I haven't been visible lately and that they miss me daw ganyan. She asked me if hindi man lang daw ba ako "nagpaalam" sa parents.

Well, i dunno how to go about it because even with my past exes naman parang hindi ako nagpapaalam sa parents kahit naging ka-close ko na. So this time, although i planned on sending them a gift and a letter for their coming birthdays eh un na un "goodbye letter and gift" ko. Enough naman na siguro un noh?

What do you think, girls?

Don't say goodbye.
IMO, MMLA is so small/tight knit -- you are likely to bump into each other sooner or later.
You may break off with your bf, but you should/can keep the friendship with him, his family, his friends.

Christmas time -- send a thoughtful inexpensive gift -- pastries, a bottle of wine,  a cake to his family . 
A cheerful generic:  Happy Holidays card will do.  Hwag  mo na sprinkle/season with drama.
Stay cool, stay classy.

i did not say goodbye and did not keep in touch as well. close ako sa family ng ex ko specially sa mom niya. and like what sis aqua mentioned maliit ang Metro Manila hehe i was dating someone new and pag pasok namin ng restaurant nandoon ang family ng ex ko but wala si ex. nagulat din ako kasi lumapit mom niya sa akin at nakipagbeso beso na may hug, nangamusta tapos niyaya pa akong magjoin with them. i said thank you and told her na may kasama ako. i'm friends with everyone sa family ni ex sa fb pwera kay ex. and yung isang cousin niya minsan "insan" pa din ang tawag sa akin kahit pabiro ko na siyang kinorect dati.

Dream ko ang magkaroon ng relationship na ganito. Haha. 'Yong tipong pag nag-break kami eh magpapaalam kami sa parents namin.

Ako kasi minsan may pagka-immature. Nainis lang ako kay bf eh sasabihin ko na agad, "Break na tayo!" Lol. Pero ngayon alam niya nang pag sinabi kong ganyan, hindi talaga seryosohang break.
