If an Ex showed up at your door in the middle of the night , asking for a place to sleep the night only .... What would you do ???

Close the door and go back to bed.
Exes are exes for a reason. |

Offer to call a cab for her and send her along on her merry way....

I wouldn't answer the door... or tell them I have company already.

Well I believe do onto others as they would do onto you. I’d tell them they’d can sleep on the couch, help themselves to breakfast and then see them on their way. Then again since I’ve never had an ex still that’s what I do.

Honestly I would open the door and offer them the couch or the bed in my extra bedroom..
A ex is a ex just because it did not work out between us does not mean I would slap the door in their face.. And yes I actually talk to my ex if I happen to be around him.. As well as ex BF's. I have kids from my ex and we actually still talk to keep up with what is going on within our kids lives.. and our grandkids... |

Invite the Ex in & offer a shoulder.
They were an Ex for a reason, because before they were an Ex they were "somebody special". How much courtesy you extend beyond that depends on whether or not there is a current not-Ex in the picture. If you are not currently involved there should be no reason you cannot offer an extension of kindness to someone who once meant a lot to you - even to the point of extending their shelter for more than just one night (which an Ex is such desperate condition PROBABLY needs more than just 1 night to resolve). Just how long an extension likely hinges on if your Ex is also currently involved, in which case the 1 night issue may resolve itself quickly - or not, but that raises a whole 'nuther sack-O-nuts that could prove deleterious to your well-being if you become more entangled - thus the need for offering that shoulder to cry on. |

This is an easy one as it has already happened a few years ago. An ex showed up around midnight looking for a place, but I grabbed some beers and we sat on the front porch talking until almost the morning. Then she felt better and drove home. It was not really the shelter that she needed, it was to be able to talk things out...
