What would you do?

Someone wants to start a relationship with you but they dont want to completely cut ties with an ex?

So this actually happened to me and I walked away and decided to go no contact. They really begged me to stay and told me how much they didnt wanna lose me but no matter how much I'm in love with them and want it to work, I'm just not willing to negotiate on certain things. I will miss them terribly though😔

Unless they share children there's no need for exes to be in each other's lives.

@PinkMoon I agree with this. You can have a relationship and make room for each other's family needs and obligations -- real life can be complicated that way. But if you are with someone who is looking to keep an insurance policy just in case -- and you are not in the same situation -- there is likely to be a lot of uncertainty and pain ahead.

@PinkMoon I always said children was the only exception to that rule. The fact is, they been seeing each other for a year and being intimate but the other party wouldn't fully commit give them a relationship.

Now they want to make us official but refuse to severe ties with that person? I am NOT okay with that and never will be. Tbh, I dunno whyyyyy I even suggested a relationship with them since we're long distance and in the past it's proven i couldn't trust them.
