π© Red Flag Alert: When They Keep in Contact with Their Ex π©
Letβs talk about something too many people brush off:
If your partner is still in regular communication with their ex, itβs a warning sign, and you should pay attention.
People will say, βWeβre just friends,β or βItβs nothing serious, we have history,β but the truth is, if someone has genuinely moved on, they wonβt keep dragging the past into their present.
β
Especially if they donβt have kids together, thereβs rarely a legitimate reason for that connection to continue. What exactly are they holding onto? Why are they still emotionally or socially attached to someone they supposedly left behind?
Staying βfriendsβ with someone they once loved romantically often leaves the door open for confusion, blurred boundaries, or even temptation.
β
And if they do have children, yes, co-parenting requires communication, but thereβs a difference between co-parenting and emotionally leaning on an ex.
You can raise a child together without sharing your personal life, giving daily updates, or acting like you're still emotionally entangled. Boundaries are key, and a mature partner will know how to balance co-parenting with fully investing in their current relationship.
You see, loyalty isnβt just about physical faithfulness.
Itβs about emotional availability, respecting boundaries, and making your partner feel secure, not second-guessing if theyβre competing with a ghost from the past.
π You deserve to be with someone who is fully present with you.
Someone who respects you enough to cut emotional ties with old flames.
Someone who chooses you, not just with their words, but with their actions, their time, and their priorities.
Donβt let your standards drop just to keep someone who canβt even leave their past behind.
You are not a backup plan. You are not a placeholder. You are not an option. You are a priority, act like it, and demand the same. β€οΈ
