However, I believe that in a committed relationship there is nothing wrong with having old friends who might be exes—but only if there’s mutual agreement and trust between you and your partner.

After all, it is unfair to place all of our hopes, dreams, and expectation on a single flawed creature and become enraged when they fail to meet the impossible standards.
