Is It Okay To Talk To Your Ex While In A Relationship?

Is possible to be friends with your ex without it affecting your new relationship?

Have you ever wondered if it’s wrong to talk to your ex while you’re in a relationship with another person? If you have and you’re still curious, I can tell you that it’s often very wrong.

Honestly, you can’t, and to think of it, there isn’t any need to be in contact with your ex. The reason is that whatever you had with that person will echo in your current relationship. Memories you shared with that person will linger around you. Remember this person was once your whole world, your ‘pillar’, how do you even start friend zoning such a person without harboring the old feelings?

If you’re truly ready to commit to a new relationship, then you need to forget about old romances. It’s nice if you can be on friendly terms with your ex, but that’s what they exactly are; an ex is nothing but ‘History’. Actually, talking to your ex while in another relationship is very disrespectful because that is being dishonest!

What people say, is that really true?

People like to think that there isn’t any romance left in the old relationship, that they truly are just friends . But at some point, you can’t help but think that you’ve been intimate with this person, you’ve loved them; there was a time when you thought that you’d last forever.

The experiences you had with this person will stay with you forever. So, talking to an ex while in a relationship will only make matters more worse for you.

And if you decide to talk to your ex while being with someone else, then what will happen if you are suddenly caught up in a sacrificing situation? Who will you prioritize if your ex suddenly needs you? Whose feelings do you sacrifice?

Its kind of you to be there for that person and not hold any grudges but it’s a cruel kindness that you’re inflicting.

At the same time, you are being unfair to your new partner by reminding them that they are not special. It also states that your loyalty is divided. You have already experienced a love that you thought would never end, and that past love still exists in your life.

If you are truly ready to invest yourself in your new relationship, if you truly love them, you owe them a clean slate – a relationship where your love is unique and irreplaceable and not a love that came after the one you had before. Besides, you wouldn’t want your partner to talk to his or her ex and mess with the stability of your relationship, right?

It isn’t healthy to live in the past.

Your ex is your past, and that is where they should stay. What if your ex still has feelings for you? And if they do, they will always be hinting at getting back together or mention how they miss being with you. This may divert your attention, and you will lose focus from your current relationship.

All in all, staying in touch with your ex is not a good option for you, and you must try your best to move on.

However!

There are circumstances where you have to talk to your ex. For instance, your ex happens to be your workmate, talking to him or her shouldn’t be consider bad for your new relationship. As long as you keep it formal and strictly work related.
