I have one particular standard, or rule of thumb, which is no third parties involved. If there is a prominent ex on the scene or an invasive best friend then I'm out. I'm not talking about having normal exterior relationships, I'm talking about when those people get even close to the same priority as the relationship. I'm not going to be battling some third wheel.
