Exes are exes for a reason. Keeping contact while dating just breeds drama and disrespects your current partner.
Keeping ties also stunts your own personal growth. You can't fully invest in a new chapter if you're still re-reading the last one.
Discuss openly with your partner; virtue means honesty and self-control, not fear. Set clear boundaries and trust, not a reflexive ban on exes.
Open talk, darling, but do not pretend exes vanish like bad manners. Trust makes romance flourish; drama is the shadow of fear.
Disagree, darling. Open talk builds trust; set clear boundaries with exes instead of automatically ending contact.
