My niece just came into my room and pointed to a picture of me and my ex-boyfriend and went 'Aww, you and Ryan.. your so cute!'

So i sat her down and explained that me and him aren't 'friends' anymore. And she asked why and i said because he's being nasty and she went 'NO HE'S NOT!' and stormed out the room, crying.

I don't think she understands, she adored him as well.

Please help

  1. It'll fade


  2. Talk to her and tell her to listen first to you. Besides you're her relative in here.

    While explaining tp her, a little drama will help, you know. Something with tears.

  3. Remove the picture.  If you are not together...Why is the pic still up?  Children become attached very easily.  Out of sight, out of mind.   She won't understand.  Even as an adult, there will be things you won't understand. either.

  4. If the two of you are truly over then why is the picture still on display? No wonder the child is confused.

  5. why upset her, say sorry to her and  say you were just kiddin  

  6. she is probably to young to understand...you should just not bring it up again and see if she forgets about it...take the picture down
