The X-Factor....When Exs get in the Mix

So i have these two people I know, and well there has been some drama in their relationship due to the Ex. Now, the ex for those of you who are dumb when it comes to relationships is the last person u dated.
I have tried to keep both of my exs in my life and i must say that life is better without all of the conversations and connections. Its easier to move on without an ex. I can focus more on me and others, instead of them. But that is just as a single person. How about those who are in relationships?
Sometimes we tend to want to keep these people in our lives, but I think what we fail to look at is why? What makes these people so important that we can't seem to let go of them? Why is it that we call them, text them, message them, or find excuses to be friends with them?
Then you have to think about this. Are you in a relationship now? If you are then it must be known that drama will be a big part of your life if you are still talking to your ex while talking to your boo. Boos do not like exs point blank period. Knowing that you used to be this persons that you continue to talk to and hang around can and will make them jealous. Thoughts will enter their minds making them wonder what does that person have that I don't have? What are they doing for them that I am not? Why would they want to be with them instead of me. There are so many things that would just cause problems. And if your boo doesn't like your ex and you continue to talk to them then not only are you slapping them in the face by saying that their feelings don't care, but you are also showing a type of selfishness that can and will hurt your boo and possibly cause your relationship to fail.
People like to feel appreciated and with being in a relationship and feeling appreciated comes sacrifices. If you have to lie to keep your ex in your life then you really need to think about if you should be in this relationship. You need to think about if this ex is worth it. Why do you need them when you have that special someone already?
People are going to be jealous. Its a part of life. They will get jealous when they feel that someone else has what they want and they cant get it.
When exs get in the mix there is drama. If your boo is dramatic there is drama. So put ex + drama queen together = problems. Just think about your actions and whether or not someone should be in your life or not.
If you are going to conversate with your ex then you need to make sure that your boo is getting more of you than your ex ever will, and your ex is just going to have to respect that because they had their turn, unless you were the total screw up, then it looks like you are trying to keep them to prove your worthiness. And most of all, don't lie about it. The moment you lie is the moment that you lose all your credibility and trust.
