Can or should I ask my significant other to stop talking and to not associate with his ex? If so, how?

i feel that this is a very controversial topic! some feel that it is okay to keep in contact with exes whilst some feel that it is not okay to keep in contact. either ways, if you're uncomfortable with the idea of your SO talking and associating himself with his ex, i think it's important that you let him know and let him understand your point of view. both of you might not be very comfortable with it, but both of you should be able to develop a strategy plan that's workable for the both of you. being in a relationship requires both of you to work as a partner. all the best! (for me, i'll just let me boyfriend knows that i am okay with him talking to his ex, provided that he has to be absolutely transparent about it).

Well, first of all, you shouldn't impose your thoughts on the other person. However, transparency in the relationship is extremely critical. Hence, your other half should know how you feel about it. Choose your words and the time to communicate this to him or her. Don't make it compulsive. Be prepared for a disagreement and always remember that trust is the essence of any relationship, hence knowing about his or her thoughts is equally important. In my opinion, possessiveness is normal in any relationship (sometimes healthy too). This shall become much better as you mature in your relationship. Hope you have a great relationship full of trust and love.

I don’t believe anyone has the right to demand another person stop communicating with another person, particularly the opposite gender. It is acceptable however to communicate your concerns or problem associated with their communication and then the problem can be addressed by all involved. At times, this could be an uncomfortable conversation but it is better to be said as soon as possible so not to cause unwanted anxiety. Anxiety can lead to animosity toward the other person and they may not even be aware there is a problem. By expressing your feelings straight away this anxiety can be avoided.

It is always better to give each other personal space. But without knowing both ends or the story giving an advice could turn out wrong. We are here to help you make the right choice. I'm sure if he loves you truly he wouldn't cheat on you. One must never shove ones own interests onto the others face. It would do more harm than good. But you can express that you dislike him speaking to his ex. If he still do continue don't force him. And if he do continue it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you either.

If the person you are in a relationship with does anything that makes you uncomfortable, bring it up as soon as possible. Present it as a problem you can solve together, and don’t cast blame. It can also help to have a discussion on honesty, where you both hopefully agree that it’s better to confront the issues rather than hide them. This leads directly to talking to their ex. Emphasis that you don’t want them to start doing it behind your back because they don’t want to upset you. It is also worth thinking and talking about how your partner would react if your roles were reversed.

I don't believe that anyone should be stopped talking to anyone, do you maybe feel that you don't trust your other half? I guess it entirely depends on the context of their conversations- some people just stay friends with some exes, and thats okay. I don't think it is okay, however, if their conversations are crossing a line, perhaps being too intimate, I can certainly see how that would make you want them stop talking to them. If your partner is frank and honest with you, hopefully that should be completely fine, otherwise, you need to talk to them about the way they are conducting their behaviour. We should always trust who we are with.

If your significant other talking to his ex makes you uncomfortable, you should talk to him about it! I suggest approaching him in a calm manner and simply tell him about how this makes you feel. Expressing your emotions and thoughts with him will help him to understand your position. I was in your shoes once and after talking to my significant other, he understood how I felt and have stopped talking to his ex since. It understandable why you feel uncomfortable about him talking to his ex and you have a right to feel that way! The most important thing right now is to just let him know and work things out from there.

Having ex's around should only be under specific circumstances, for example, children or reasons that require them to keep in contact. Apart from that, no ex's should still be around, especially once a new relationship is beginning with another person. To bring up the conversation, I recommend talking to him or her about the ex in a calm manner. If you present the issue angrily or annoyed, he or she might get defensive, defeating the purpose of your intentions. Ask and explain how it makes you feel if that person is selfish enough to not think about how you feel with what you are doing. That would explain a lot of that individual. and maybe reconsider.

I understand feeling uncomfortable with your significant other talking to their ex still, Instead of approaching the issue as though it needs to end right away, try to approach it in a way that expresses how it makes you feel. For example: Hey I know you are you talking to your ex but it is really bothering me and you are now with me it makes me feel insecure, and I would appreciate it if you didn't talk to them as much. In this situation you want to express your feelings, instead of wanting control. This way your significant other can feel impower too

You are perfectly justified in having a conversation with your significant other regarding his ex. Communication is very important in a relationship, so communicating your discomfort in his relationship/connection to his ex is valid. With this being said, trust is also very important in a relationship, and I would urge you to implore what exactly is causing you to doubt his loyalty or lose trust in his faithfulness. If I were to broach the conversation with a significant other, I would begin by stating how his or her actions are making me feel with explanations as to why I am feeling this way, and then discuss a multitude of compromises/methods to ameliorate the situation. This would typically be better-received than simply asking for your significant other to stop talking to/associating with an ex right off the bat.
