DEAR CRF,

“My man says that he’s jealous when I’m around a male friend of mine who I’ve had a past with but it’s over and done with. However, my man says he feels that my male friend still has feelings for me. Should I stop hanging out with him or should I tell my man to check his jealousy? Is this a #CRF?”

CRF RESPONSE
It’s easy to call him jealous and insecure but in this situation, if roles were reversed, how secure would you be? I’m not saying that this ex lover isn’t just a friend in your eyes, I’m saying that the friendship should take a back seat to your new relationship. That’s if you want it to last.

Relationships are about trust, yes. But, it’s also about respect. While some may say if he trusted you there’d be no problem with how friendly you are with this ex lover, I’d counter with if you respected him and your relationship you’d do what is necessary to keep drama at bay.

Now ask yourself, what do you want more, the friendship or the relationship?
