Questions about platonic opposite Sex relationships pt. 2?

(Please note, this stems from a conversation I’ve had with someone and I’m not secretly asking if this is okay of me to do). Say you’re in a relationship and your partner’s old time friend comes back into their lives. They’re someone your partner was kissed by once before and they planned to move in with each other, but it never happened. It happened long ago and your partner asks you if they can be their friend again. How do you feel?

This question is mainly for the guys: Say you’re the partner. Be honest, do you really just want to be the person’s friend and is it really just a past situation to you that isn’t important anymore? Or is there something else going on?

There are many factors involved here. How long ago was there interest between the two of them? Do either still hold romantic interest toward the other? How considerate and respectful is the partner of you? How stable is your relationship? Is this other friend involved in another relationship? How stable is that relationship? Having had a mutual crush in the 5th grade isn't necessarily a red flag for the present. There is no formula to determine when this is acceptable and when it isn't. Use your own observational skills and judgment, but don't project your own fears and hangups on others.

No…and if one has to ask their heart is in the wrong place. Either the asker is still in love with that pass person OR asker does not place high Value on the person with whom they are engaged. Either way, it is a total loss for Question Receiver.
The Asker is asking in dishonesty as Asker know other party can not say No. I’m not being second to done Past walking into my Current relationship. Eventually, the relationship will end SO might as well do it in the front end…
