Perspective: “My boyfriend believes choosing to be friends with my ex is disrespectful to him and the relationship — and thinks that one can’t truly be friends with someone they used to date.”
My boyfriend and I have been dating for the past four years, but we’ve had recurring arguments about one thing: my decision to remain friends with my ex-boyfriend.
I am someone who is able to compartmentalize my feelings, and when I no longer have romantic feelings for someone, it is very easy for me to maintain a platonic relationship with them. My boyfriend believes choosing to be friends with my ex is disrespectful to him and the relationship — and thinks that one can’t truly be friends with someone they used to date.
There are three people in this dynamic and three people contributing to the issue — your partner, you and your ex. Is your ex on the same page as you? Has it been made clear that there is no chance for reconciliation? More so, does he respect your current relationship and make an effort with your boyfriend?
