"I think whoever thinks this is a red flag is actually the red flag. If you know how to regulate your emotions and set boundaries, there is nothing wrong with that"
"Being on good terms with your ex is not a red flag" - Counsellor
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, counsellor Daniel Fenyi said that there is nothing wrong with being friends with one's exes.
He said that it was prudent that former lovers ended things on a good note and even if things ended badly, it was advisable to make peace.
"If you are in a relationship with someone and you break up and move on from that relationship, you should not become enemies. You should still be having normal vibes."
Mr Fenyi said that despite being friends with your ex, one should be able to set boundaries. He said that friendship should not be a nuisance to one's new relationship.
He said that one's current partner should not have issues with how one communicates with one former lover. He said that conversations should be kept brief and straight to the point.
"Do not meet them in isolated places. We do not expect regular meetings,. Be flexible but do not let any of your past relationships interfere with the present" he said.
