Kelly Brook and Thom Evans Split: Would You Ban Your Partner from Seeing Their Ex?
Thom Evans has reportedly split from Kelly Brook after two years of dating due to Kelly refusing to stop spending time with her ex Danny Cipriani who she was dating before Thom Evans.
Although Kelly and Danny had no romantic relations when her and Thom were in a relationship, Thom is thought to have ended their relationship because he didn’t want them spending time together.
Kelly has said that her and Thom split a while ago and it had nothing to do with a third party, but would you ban your partner from seeing their ex?
It’s a tricky question that all seems to hang on circumstances.
If you’re the one that sees your ex regularly on a completely platonic basis then you’ll know that there is nothing wrong with your strictly friends-only relationship.
It’s quite common for ex’s to stay friends, especially if they didn’t end on bad terms. You spent a lot of time together so it’s no surprise you enjoy each other’s company.
But then you have to ask the question, if the roles were reversed and it was your partner doing the same, would you be okay with it?
From their side it could come across that you’re choosing your ex over them and that the two of you have unfinished business.
It’s true, why would you want to spend time with someone your broke it off with?
It’s all about trust and the type of person you are.
There are obviously factors that can be out of your control. If your partner had children with their ex then they have to see them, there isn’t much choice around that.
If they’re in the same group of friends, then they will more than likely be hanging out at the same spots and seeing each other regularly.
If you’re quite a laid back couple then chance is that you’ll both be okay with each other being friends with ex’s.
On the other hand, if you or your partner is quite jealous then it’s going to cause massive problems.
The thing to remember is not to punish your partner without reason. If they’ve never given you a reason to doubt them, then don’t.
If they’ve given you a reason to doubt them, then sit them down, talk about the situation and if your relationship is strong, they’ll more than likely give up the friendship for you.
Also, never use the term ‘it’s not you I don’t trust, it’s your ex’. Your partner is their own person and will make their own decisions, they’re the only person you need to put your trust in.
