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

To have a relationship it needs to have trust , communication and respect , loving one another means not bringing baggage from the past into the relationship. You can ask that they please understand your feelings and how this affects you and that you love them but it hurts when they are doing this . If they feel that they are in the right and it is still okay then you would need to decide if this person is the right one for you or stay around and continue to deal with this. This could mean nothing that they are talking to an ex , many can have communication due to children together or just being friends so it comes down to what they are talking about with the ex or if they are spending time with the ex and how much time. Remember your feelings do matter and you do need to be heard and honest with them and see how things go by opening the line of communication. Trust is Huge in a relationship and it does take both of you to make this work .

The best thing I would recommend here is to let your significant other know how him talking to his ex makes you feel. I would use "I" statements to for this, such as something to the affect of, "When you talk to your ex (being specific in what it is that he is doing) it makes me feel ___ (being specific in what it is that you are feeling and experiencing)". This helps to take the focus off of things coming across as blaming or accusing or anything, and making it more of an open honest conversation. You've got this, my friend.

Keeping in touch with exes is more common than you think. If two people have been together for a long time (maybe even have children together), it is perfectly normal to keep a social relationship especially if they agreed to disagree for one thing and to keep each other roped in for another. The folks who are able to do this usually have a good level of self-confidence and general kindness. Of course you "can" ask for a complete breakup with an ex (or exes) from your new partner, but it might back-fire, particularly if you do not have specific reasons for asking. Your best bet should be wait-and-see.

Communication is always the most important thing. If you clearly lay out what your exact boundaries are and why they're important to you the conversation should go a lot smoother. I would say, be prepared to hear him out too - if he is able to explain why the friendship is important to him, perhaps you could come to some compromise. My partner is currently still on friendly terms with an ex-girlfriend, but since we've communicated about I now feel much more secure. It can depend on your personal boundaries and the trust on your relationship, but either way it's just always important to be honest.

When in a relationship, communication is key. Being honest with your partner is essential for both of you to be happy. If you want your partner to stop associating with his ex, try to tell him how you feel. Does it make you uncomfortable? Do you trust him? Try to let him know without sounding like a parent. Don't tell him what to do, instead, try to figure out his point of view. For example, why does he still associate with his ex? I hope I was able to help you today, and that you and your partner will work things out.

A relationship is two person, (You and him) which they must manage together, for the human being is highly irritable sometimes as a couple to take conversations regarding their ex-partners, however I would consider that they talk about the subject if there is trust between the two, remember that talking to the truth sometimes allows a relationship to flow better , only you know him and you can know the most suitable way to get to him without offending or handling incoherent discussions between the two, remember that you are important to the universe you are unique so take care and worth mainly, a strong embrace from Venezuela.

This is entirely up to you to decide. The main question you have to ask yourself is, is how is the ex effecting your relationship? Are they constantly talking, are they doing more than talking? Is your significant other being suspicious? Even if they're not doing anything weird, it's still understandable to be worried. Every person has a different relationship with their ex, how it effects a relationship, etc. At the end of the day if you want your significant other to stop talking with his ex, then that should be something that he is willing to do to better the relationship. I think it mostly comes down to a respect thing.

I think you should ask your significant other to stop talking to their ex if they are in a serious relationship with you. You could start off by asking them why they do it. Then, you could move into talking about how it bothers you and how that makes you feel. If they really care about you they will understand that it makes you feel a certain type of way and then maybe the both of you can together find a solution to this issue that way it doesn't continue to affect your relationship with them or make you feel bad.

I think the best way to approach the situation would be to have a conversation in which you could both talk about each other feelings. If your relationship is recent, he might still be greaving which is totally normal. It can take some time for him to get over his past relationship. Also, you should feel free to make him aware that you are not comfortable with him talking about his ex. It is very understandable that you are not comfortable with that at all. If you get to have both of you thinking from each other's point of view, it would be wonderful. I really hope you get to communicate and sort this out. If he cares about you, he most likely will understand that you feel hurt by him talking about his past relationship. I wish you the best of luck :)

I believe that you are always able to ask anything that you want because it's something that you desire. In the case of asking your significant other to disassociate with an ex, it's not wrong to want them to. If you choose to do so, however, perhaps sit them down and start by telling them that you love and trust them. Explain your feelings as to why you want them to stop and ask them along the way if they understand or have any questions or concerns. At the end, if everything is said, you can give them the open option as to whether or not they want to stop, but for your own heart and mind you wanted them to know your feelings.
