If you’re tempted to have dinner with your ex - don’t! Why coffee is a better idea...

If you get along well enough with your ex to have dinner together - that’s nice...

Just don’t do it if you’re in another relationship. According to a recent study, having dinner with an ex is a top jealousy trigger in 2nd marriages or relationships. According to Dr. Brian Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating,” having meal with your ex feels closer to cheating than having coffee or even lunch. That’s because we associate late afternoon or evening with more romantic behavior. 

If you’d like to catch up with your ex, you’re better off doing that before noon or inviting your new partner along to avoid any misconceptions.
