Would you date someone with an unfinished past with an ex?

Question

nawtee_me · Accepted Answer

No! Why would anyone want to have a relationship with someone and their ex? Unresolved issue being brought into another relationship is hazardous to the new relationship. I would not want someone projecting their ex on me every time they thought of them or heard their name brought up.

Not sure what you mean by "unfinished business," but it we are on a date and there is some possibility that she is thinking about him instead of me. . . OUR business is finished!

Pinay_ako · Accepted Answer

Unfinished meaning? He’s not over her yet? NO

If they have kids together? MAYBE

Or not final divorced yet? NOT

whatever that unfinished business is with the ex, he has to clear that first before even jumping into the dating scene and dragging an innocent woman to his drama.

Absolutely not!!!  it would be difficult to get serious with someone who has unresolved business with their ex…totally a deal breaker for me 100%  I want someone who’s about me and only about me!

nitsuj86 · Answer

I would fuck them if they were hot enough, but fully expect it to not work out and be very messy.  So logically I wouldn't want to, but if they were attractive enough, I would give it a shot.

Finchie40 · Answer

I would date them but wouldn’t get serious with them until they proved to me they were over their ex , but if she constantly talks about her ex to me then she is best to go back to him

EricSummer · Answer

Yes, I've done that before. Of course, I hope I can help her move on from her ex. There's a risk in it, but in my case it worked out at the time.

Poppymarie · Answer

Absolutely not. That’s a major dealbreaker for me.

HighValue · Answer

No. Any contact with an ex means I would end the relationship.

No ex or any my friendship ex didn't work out and they should to dile in hell.

LivingExample · Answer

No! That unfinished past could lead to them getting back together. You do Not want to be in the middle of that!!

alearningboy · Answer

I dont know because it didn't happen to me. But it will be very hard because they will think about the relationship a lot. In some cases they are trying it again.
