Even after they have treated you real bad? Even after the last time you talked to each other, mean and hurtful words were exchanged?

Is this a wise thing to do? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Are you in either Plan A or Plan B? If you are in Plan A, I personally think it would be a good idea as long as you don't do any LB's and don't expect any of your EN's to be met. If you are in Plan B, then I personally don't think it's a good idea...but other's may have other opinions.

Good luck either way you choose!

All my best,

I agree with MrStrype:

If you are in Plan A then YES give them a short friendly call. Do not express any expectations. Be cheerful (sounds as if your Christmas day is REALLY happy and fun!)
Be brief - no long silences as if you are waiting for them to say something - be the first to say good-bye (you are SOOOO busy with festivities, guests, food, fun!) Do NOT bring up relationship, OP, finances, legalities, etc. (mention fun holiday traditions you're doing!)

If you are in Plan B just stay dark and let them wonder what you're up to. Do NOT call them AND do NOT respond if they attempt you directly instead of through the intermediary.
