Woman's boyfriend reconnects with old flame, woman expresses her concern, boyfriend doesn't respect her boundaries: 'I’m upset because he overrides our promises'

It goes without saying that in order to make a relationship work, you have to have a sturdy basis of trust. Most people enter a relationship with a certain level of trust based on their past relationships, and it's their job to build from there. Some people need more reassurance than others, and that's okay. It all depends on the two people in a relationship to figure out if it's worth it to quell their partner's insecurities or to move on and find a better match.

One of the trickiest moments in a relationship is when an old flame of a partner comes back into the picture. Whether it's a tumultuous ex or just someone they used to have a crush on, it is never easy to swallow your pride and let bygones be bygones. If your partner reassures you that you have nothing to worry about, you have no choice but to believe them, but if you still get a sinking feeling when that person comes around, it might be time to reevaluate your relationship. One girl came to this crossroads when she had to go to a wedding where her boyfriend's ex was supposed to attend. Was she right to be worried, or should she just forget about it?
