So, I'm listening to an iHeart Radio station this evening and they brought up a question that I find interesting. Say you're in a long term, committed relationship/marriage and your partner tells you they're having a casual lunch with an ex of theirs...who is strictly platonic, they were close but for whatever reason it didn't work out.

What's your reaction? Do you 'allow' them to? Do you blow up? What Astrology aspects or whatever do you relate to this?

Also what are your astro placements? Interested in seeing of there's a trend astrologically or not.

Personally I wouldn't have an issue with the situation in the least.

That being said... I can imagine the 109327509375 variables many people will consider (i.e. Why are they communicating in the first place? Why weren't you consulted before plans were made? Why would it matter if they were honest? etcetera; etcetera), so I'd imagine the answers you'll get to this are going to be greatly determined by personal maturity and the self awareness of the person answering.

Mercury for Communication; perhaps.

I can see the million different responses...which is what fueled this post.

Also I meant for you to post YOUR astro placements...to see if there's a trend. Oops, that's those couple rum shots kickin in! 😅😂

The past is the past and it needs to stay there.

I’d trust my partner, but I wouldn’t trust his ex. Women don’t know what they have until they lose it; if she sees how happy he is with me I’d worry she’d try to disrespect our relationship and break us up. Therefore, no he cannot have lunch with his ex.

Female friends with no history is a different story.

I dunno if it’s placement related. Just common sense that women are competitive af and want what’s no longer theirs.

That's basically what one of the peeps said on iHeart radio. She said she trusted her partner but not the ex and therefore would invite herself.

I'd actually have to be on the opposite side of the coin here.

I'm not a 'typical' female in the sense that you said we're competitive and don't realize what we have until it's gone.

In my opinion, they broke up for a reason...my S/O obvs likes me for a reason...why should I be paranoid that they're fooling around behind my back. Until proven wrong, who am I to judge their relationship?

Idk, maybe It'd be different if I was actually in that situation. I like discussing things though! lol

No lingering feelings. No 'secret' lunches or dinners or anything. If my Gem asks what's up, I tell him straight - if he doesn't like that I have male friends (no friends I've dated though, which is why this topic interested me!) then he can go F himself.

I think I would feel better if the ex had her own new boyfriend just to be sure. But like you said someone said before, I’d invite myself too.

So, if that was the case - the ex had a new relationship and both yours and theirs were goin fine and dandy, would you worry about a lunch or would you still be wondering what the F was up?

You don’t have to trust their ex!

If he willing to have lunch with her - don’t trust HIM! What’s the nessesity? Why would he want to have lunch with a woman who aren’t supposed to mean nothing to him?

Take some homeless person and feed them if you feeling ‘altruistic’ stupid ass!

No? Why not?
Lol, lubs u Gemi.

A lunch doesn't equate meaning in my mind. That's giving too much credit to someone who isn't important in MY life...which is, to some degree, separate than HIS life.

Interesting thoughts though.

WHAT if he’s like

I neEd to talk alone

To give her or myself closure

Maybe like one time deal

Strictly one time and only for closure I guess is okay. It’d suck if that “closure” was getting back together 😵😵

Others will disagree with me and say something like “but I did and it worked for me!” Great story man. This is MY story though.

I couldn’t be okay with it, unless I was there too or the ex’s new partner or something along that. They just can’t be one on one,

You can’t really be platonic with someone you’ve had sex with... like I used to kiss your balls and now we’ll talk about the weather? No.

Talking to ex’s can reignite feelings, they don’t even have to be sexual or romantic, just that longing and nostalgia. You remember the past MUCH prettier than it truly was, and if you’re going through problems in your current relationship it’s so hard to not think “what if.”

There’s a saying I’ve heard that says: “Even If gun shot doesn’t hit you and hurt you, the noise from it will give you a headache.”

As in to say, don’t play with fire.

Scorpio Sun and Venus, Pisces Moon, Libra Mercury and Mars and a Sag rising.
So, even if you knew for a fact that they had no romantic feelings for each other still, you'd not be okay with it? Because of your past experience?

I can see where that "don't play with fire" saying comes into play.

If it's a long term, committed relationship,

this lunch wouldn't spring out of nowhere, of course.... You've known all along that they were friends, right?
Yeah. Say ya'll been together like 4/5+ years and they have been known to go out to lunch maybe once a year or some shit. Just as a catch up type thing, as far as you know.
So what was the point of this radio segment?

That someone goes out to lunch 4/5 times in 4/5 years with somone that you've been aware of?

did this start before the commited relationship?

click to expand

Idk what the context was, they had snippets.

But that was the gist of it. Your S/O has a yearly (or so) lunch with an ex, what're your thoughts.

I personally don't see any harm in them doing so, their life not mine. I was just curious what this topic would bring up, and all the possible ways one could handle it.

Let’s say partner says

I ran into ex

Letting you know we are meeting for coffe to discuss what had occurred n give her closure. Is tha Ok?

What’s you response

Or

I ran into ex and we are meeting for coffee because I need closure

Just letting you know
Call me naive but I give people the benefit of the doubt.

Sure, go ahead and deal with it. Take 2 hrs to do so? I'm getting impatient. Take 3+ hours to do so and I'm irritated. Be a decent human and realize where your time and energy is being spent lol.

How can you know that neither of them have no feelings lingering? Or feelings they can respark? People break up and pretend to be ok and like they’ve moved on and if you ask them they’ll say no, I have no feelings for them anymore... but deep down they could be so in love with them still.

Not saying that in this instance they’ll be so in love, but no feelings is far fetched. If there were no feelings they wouldn’t have kept in touch or agreed to meet one on one. If I’ve no feelings for you, you’re not a priority to me and I’d rather AVOID anything that could push my current partner away, it’s not worth the risk.

If there are feelings but they’re only friendly nothing else, then maybe I should come along too.

I'm purely just saying for speculation sake.

You can't know for certain what another's intentions are. I'd hope that if it's a long term committed relationship that there'd be some mutual love and respect and basic human decency for each other. Not the case 100 percent of the time.

platonic does not mean what you think it means

platonic love is still love
Some people feel and express love differently.

Love is love no matter how ya cut it. Yes.

Are you comfortable with your S/O having any type of 'love' for someone other than yourself?

friendship is ok, anything else, of course not

But friendship can have love behind it as well. Not romantic love, not for everyone at least.

So say your ex and a friend of theirs were together for a year but then realized they weren't meant to be in a relationship but rather just to be friends. Would you still be okay with them having lunch every now and then?

...well...to be honest...you don’t trust your partner. What you’re subtlety saying is that you don’t trust your partner to resist any advances or temptation. Might as well be honest. If one felt their partner was fully trustworthy...they wouldn’t worry about them being around an ex.

I know you’re just trying to understand trends and it’s interesting hearing others opinions and experiences cause some of the things others say never even crossed your mind before.

One thing that decides this whole thing is thinking of your partner first, not your ex. Will it hurt them? Are they jealous? Is it more important to me to meet the ex, or keep the peace in my relationship? Is the risk worth the reward?

I know if I love someone and they got jealous and even being unreasonable about it, I’d still validate their feelings.

click to expand

Feelings should always be validated as no one can, or should, dictate how YOU feel. Some ppl are absolute dicks though.

Like I said, I'd hope there was some respect and decency in the relationship but that's not the case in a lotttt of relationships.

I meant your S/O's ex. They were with your S/O but they both decided it wasn't meant to be romantic, just friends.

Would you be cool wih them having lunch.

So you feel that sex cancels out a friendship? Because of feelings or whatever?

The past is the past and it needs to stay there.

I’d trust my partner, but I wouldn’t trust his ex. Women don’t know what they have until they lose it; if she sees how happy he is with me I’d worry she’d try to disrespect our relationship and break us up. Therefore, no he cannot have lunch with his ex.

Female friends with no history is a different story.

I dunno if it’s placement related. Just common sense that women are competitive af and want what’s no longer theirs.

I have noticed this competitive streak among women... Girls would ignore a guy because he doesn't look sexy in a mainstream manner... You know these artsy rugged guys... Once I hang out with them, they pounce on the guy! LMAO

Women are far more competitive...

How are we supposed to fix this problem? It scares me, as a passive af non-competitive girl 😱😱😱

That’s not a necessary thing... I can still trust my partner fully and still feel jealous about him meeting an ex. Sometimes you just feel this pit in the bottom of your stomach for whatever reason but it has nothing to do with trusting your partner, it’s about you... your past, experiences or upbringing. People can get triggered without knowing why exactly.

But that’s exactly my point. I’m sorry but there is no such thing as I trust my partner but I have this fear that gets triggered. Trust is the one thing to where there is no grey area. The problem is that we(people) try to have it both ways in order to make a relationship work or keep up appearances that we’re more mature than we really are or that we have courage. Jealousy is fear plain and simple..;and it is the fear that one might lose their partner to that ex that’s coming back around. Therefore, one isn’t trusting their partner to keep the integrity of the relationship.

The past is the past and it needs to stay there.

I’d trust my partner, but I wouldn’t trust his ex. Women don’t know what they have until they lose it; if she sees how happy he is with my I’d worry she’d try to disrespect our relationship and break us up. Therefore, no he cannot have lunch with his ex.

Female friends with no history is a different story.
That's basically what one of the peeps said on iHeart radio. She said she trusted her partner but not the ex and therefore would invite herself.
That doesn't make sense. If you really trust your partner you let him/her do what she/he wants.

I wouldnt have any problem really, my gf sees her exes quite often actually.

I personally have no issues with it either.

You don’t know what women are capable of 👀👀

I don’t want to call your friends liars buuuut

If they’re desperate enough to stir shit up, they will do whatever it takes, bet on that.

I’m actually agreeing with you...hence why I wouldn’t entertain meeting up with an ex whether my partner trusts me or not.

Why? This isn't some smart *ss, patronizing, kind of 'why' either. I would genuinely like to know.

Simple...having full trust goes hand in hand with having full confidence.
