In my opinion I see it wrong and the man is right, if you got a man and texting your ex like flirtatious towards you and you are responding the same way, its wrong in my opinion. I mean what if your man was texting their ex like that they wouldn't like that.

ladainian williams 6b

I agree because if you are in a relationship with another person your ex should not be in contact with you

Jamie 6B
1/13/2026 11:52:24 am

I agree with this because if u have a man that shows he loves you and respects you, you shouldn't be going to another man for that.

Skylar 6B

I see your point exactly because sometimes it's double standard. One partner will not want you talking to your ex but at the same time they are still talking with their ex.

Joaquin J 2A
1/14/2026 10:39:45 am

I agree becuase yes there are some people that would react the same way and it will always be a valid reason. There are just some boundries that aren't meant to be crossed.

Carpenter Z 2A
1/14/2026 10:43:33 am

I agree with this, knowing that your partner is texting their ex is going to make you feel some type of way, also being kinda flirty texting is basically cheating.

Cervantes Y 2A
1/16/2026 11:21:38 am

I agree because why would you still be flirting with your ex and texting each other why would you even be in a relationship

Skylar 6B
1/13/2026 11:02:26 am

The boyfriend is right in my opinion because it honestly feels like she still has some feelings for her ex. Don't get me wrong yes, you can part ways with your ex and still remain friends on good terms but it's a certain boundary you just don't cross.

Jeremiah
1/13/2026 11:18:32 am

I agree because he ain't never brought nothing up until now since he saw the way she texts him.

Jamie 6B
1/13/2026 11:55:03 am

I agree u can stay on good terms with your ex but be respectful to one another.

WhiteK2A
1/14/2026 10:37:55 am

I disagree because nobody should be text there because y'all have a past together.

WhiteK2A
1/14/2026 10:39:15 am

I agree because you can have strings attached and don't your bf

Carpenter Z 2A
1/14/2026 10:49:47 am

I agree with this I do feel like she has feelings for her ex. I somewhat agree with still being friends with them it just depends how they broke up but still y'all shouldn't talk as much. In my opinion if you're on good terms with your ex that is fine but y'all can be on good terms and not talk to them because there is no bad blood.

Jamie 6B
1/13/2026 11:08:33 am

In my own opinion I don't believe the girl should be in a relationship at all if she still has contact with her ex, you can end in good terms with them of course but talking to them while your in a relationship can give your partner the wrong idea and bring problems to the relationship.

Jeremiah
1/13/2026 11:20:07 am

I agree because some people don't really know each other's true intentions, which can cause someone to overthink the situation.

cervantes Y 2A
1/16/2026 11:18:22 am

I agree because if your still talking to your ex you haven't even forgotten him

Jeremiah
1/13/2026 11:15:05 am

Personally, I feel the girl is in the wrong—not just because she doesn’t want to block her ex, but because she seems more worried about his well‑being than about how her significant other feels.

Skylar 6B
1/14/2026 10:39:50 am

I understand what you mean because that's what it seemed like in the video. If you don't love him why are you so worried about him or why is he worried about you.

WhiteK2A
1/14/2026 10:40:52 am

I agree why you acting like he need to know your well being and you worried about his.

Khloe King 5B
1/14/2026 03:14:04 pm

I agree because if you still have contact with your ex the relationship is pointless.

ladainian willimas 6B
1/13/2026 11:15:45 am

the woman was in the wrong because you shouldn't be texting someone you are no longer with. if roles was reversed she would feel a type of way.

Khloe King 5B
1/14/2026 03:15:05 pm

I agree having contact with your ex is a no go.

Beal R 2A
1/14/2026 10:35:27 am

i feel like the girl should block him because she's in a relationship with someone else right now.

WhiteK2A
1/14/2026 10:35:48 am

`i agree because he might be talking to her in the different way at night that is why she will probably keep him on her line for their time

Ian L Rodriguez
1/14/2026 10:35:54 am

In my opinion I think the lady is in the wrong because there is no reason you should be talking to someone you used to date whilst in a relationship, especially if your doing it behind your partners back.

Joaquin J 2A
1/14/2026 10:36:36 am

In this video I say that the boyfriend has every right to breakup witht the girl due to the fact she is in contact when her ex that she text while in a relationship with someone else. The boyfriend had everyright because now he questioned her loyalty and just like that it was over between them.

Kinds, C 2A
1/14/2026 10:41:44 am

The man definitely has every right to break up with her because why do she think it is ok to still be in contact with her ex but obviously it shows that she is not fully committed to her new partner and still cares for her ex which is fine but she needs to be straight up with her new partner so he can know the real.

Valdez K 2A
1/14/2026 10:46:24 am

I agree with you. That girl's behavior just isn't something people need in a relationship. If you're a relationship you should be fully devoted and loyal and not out there seeking attention elsewhere.

Gonzalez,A 2A
1/16/2026 12:37:28 pm

I agree with you because he definitely does have every right to break up with her since it seems like she isn't ready to let go of what her and her ex had.

Kinds, C 2A
1/14/2026 10:37:28 am

I believe that it is a little corny to be blocking your ex but the woman is wrong, because if you are responding to your ex and still worrying about what he is doing then I see the man POV because if you are in a whole new relationship why are you still responding to your ex and worrying about what he is doing.. but if she wasn't doing anything like texting or responding to him then their should be no reason to block the ex because she is showing her loyalty but she did so she should definitely block him or else she is going to lose the new man she has now.

Valdez K 2A
1/14/2026 10:49:25 am

I agree. Blocking your ex isn't necessary, but still being in contact while with a new man is just messed up and proves you're not ready for a new relationship. Either go back with your ex since you're still giving them the time of day anyway or just stay single.

Luna W 1A
1/15/2026 10:05:06 pm

I totally agree with you, its not very mature to block an ex but the boyfriend does have his reasons to why he wants her to do that.

Taylor, M 7B
1/16/2026 11:46:08 am

It seems like the man didn't care if the ex was blocked and was using it as a last resort. I agree that blocking him would be slightly corny, but I see where the man was coming from.

Valdez K 2A
1/14/2026 10:37:58 am

The guy is right. Why is that girl even in contact with her ex and caring what he thinks when she's in a new relationship? You're either committed to your current partner or not. Her excuse about still caring about her ex and wanting him to know what she's up to is invalid and quite frankly dumb because you can still "care" about someone on a human-to-human level but not be in contact. You can just wish them well in your head and not constantly be talking. Either way, it's hard for me to even begin to see her reasoning as valid because of the way she got so defensive.

Kinds, C 2A
1/14/2026 10:39:49 am

I agree with this comment due to the fact that she is in a whole new relationship so why would she care about what her ex is doing.

Watson S 1A
1/16/2026 10:54:38 pm

I completely agree with what you said. Her instantly becoming defensive threw me off, she tried to cover it up by saying that not blocking him was because she wanted him to see what they got going on making him "jealous". When that didn't work, she got mad which I would consider manipulation.

Carpenter Z 2A
1/14/2026 10:40:41 am

In my opinion the man was right no matter how much the woman tries to change the mood of the conversation. If you're replying to your ex with heart emojis that is also a red flag because for you to put an emoji like that you must still have feelings with your ex. Lastly if you have to beg your Girlfriend or whatever to block them and she keeps saying no "that is mean I would never do that" you should drop her right there Because why be in a relationship with someone if your not going to be all about them.

Gracie Ramos
1/14/2026 11:50:33 am

i agree with the opinion that talking to your ex in a flirtatious manner is breaking your trust with your partner.

Calito V.
1/16/2026 08:59:01 am

I agree as if your partner doesn't want to cut contact with their ex just leave them because they don't care for you as much as they care for their ex.

Taylor, M 7B
1/16/2026 11:44:05 am

You're right, she shouldn't even have given a reason for him to think about the ex. If she wasn't ready to move on then she shouldn't have gotten into another relationship

Washington B 1A
1/16/2026 09:53:47 pm

I agree because being contact with your ex can bring problems in your relationship.

Sunny C 2A
1/14/2026 10:49:33 am

In this situation, the guy is right. If someone is in a committed relationship, continuing to text an ex especially when the ex keeps reaching out creates unnecessary drama and breaks trust. The boyfriend isn’t asking for anything unreasonable he’s asking for a basic boundary that protects the relationship.

Gracie Ramos
1/14/2026 11:45:43 am

Yes, i agree with your statement that he isn't being unreasonable for asking his girlfriend to block her ex. And it is a basic boundary in the relationship.

Watson S 1A
1/16/2026 11:00:21 pm

I also believe the guy is right in this situation because committing to a relationship means to commit to one person. Honestly I think relationships should require more than the bare minimum these days.

Gracie Ramos
1/14/2026 11:43:57 am

He has the right to feel uncomfortable with his girlfriend still texting her ex. By still being in contact with her ex, she's making her boyfriend feel paranoid and is breaking his trust. He isn't being controlling or abusive for asking for that if her ex is overstepping in their relationship.

Luna W. 1A
1/15/2026 10:00:33 pm

I agree with you, being in a relationship with someone who is constantly in conatct with their ex will break the parteners trust.

Gonzalez,A 2A
1/16/2026 12:39:32 pm

I agree with you because in this situation the girl is definetly in the wrong for still being in contact with her ex while with someone new.

Fraire Y 1A
1/16/2026 07:02:57 pm

Yes I agree it is not overstepping because he is just asking about it he just wants answers of why it is happening and also he just wants for her to not be in contact with him anymore in respect of ther relationship.

Wideman C 1A
1/20/2026 08:47:48 am

I agree because he's not asking no outrageous questions he trying to make show ain't nothing funny going on behind his back

Washington B 1A
1/16/2026 09:52:38 pm

I agree with you because, in a relationship with someone with someone who is in contact with there ex could be bring trust problems

Khloe King 5B
1/14/2026 03:17:49 pm

I think the girl is in the wrong because if you are in a relationship you should have no contact with your ex.

L. Wendy 1A
1/15/2026 09:58:25 pm

For the most part I think the boyfriend is right. Theyre grown enough to not block but it is not okay to be constantly in contact with your ex and still worrying about what he feels.

Calito V.
1/16/2026 08:52:06 am

I agree because if you contact your ex, it is concerning to your partner.

Fraire Y 1A
1/16/2026 07:01:14 pm

Yes this is true if you are in a relationship you shouldn't be worrying about how your ex feels.

Calito.V 5B
1/16/2026 08:44:28 am

The girl is wrong in this situation because if you are still talking to your ex that either means she isn't loyal or she still has some feelings for her ex. He should leave the relationship as he will just be wasting his time on her.

Wideman C 1A
1/20/2026 08:52:53 am

I agree because if your in another relationship you and your ex ain't supposed to be contacting and what he thinks shouldn't mean nothing

Cervantes Y 2A
1/16/2026 11:14:17 am

I think the girl is in the wrong because why would she still be in contact with her ex-boyfriend while having a whole new relationship and if she is sending heart emojis they probably still have something going on the side.

Taylor, M 7B
1/16/2026 11:42:08 am

I think the woman is in the wrong.The man was communicating his boundaries in the relationship and she made it a bigger deal than it had to be. It honestly seems like she still has feelings for her ex, and doesn't want to move on.

Cordova,Armani 7B
1/16/2026 11:02:21 pm

I agree with this statement her body language in the video showed she wanted some relations with the ex or guilty

Gonzalez,A 2A
1/16/2026 12:34:53 pm

In this situation the man is in the right for feeling the way he does.I feel like you shouldnt be in a relationship if your still going to be in contact with your ex.

Fraire Y 1A
1/16/2026 06:59:20 pm

I think that the boyfrind is in the right because it might not be nessesary to block your ex but if you are giving them the time out of your day there is something wrong because she could've just ignored the message but she didn't.

Washington B 1A
1/16/2026 09:51:16 pm

I think the boyfriend is in the right because, if your in a relationship and you really care about then person you shouldn't be in contact with your ex anymore.

Cordova Armani 7B
1/16/2026 11:00:55 pm

I agree with this statement your ex should never even be brought it in the relationship but also yall both have to have some level of maturity

Cordova Armani 7B
1/16/2026 10:59:36 pm

The man is right because if you see your girl texting her ex in any manner or way it doesn’t even have to be sexual it’s still not right you had relations to that person in the past so your still giving them a time and day

Okafor Kenechi 6B
1/17/2026 01:19:47 pm

I agree with this comment because the girl's ex probably still has feelings for her and she has feelings for him which is why they are still in contact.

Watson S 1A
1/16/2026 11:10:45 pm

The girl is disrespecting the relationship by even staying in contact with him. If she didn't care about him she wouldnt hesitate to block him. A relationship is a commitment, I feel as though she should have communicated better. The excuses she makes for why she wont just block him confuse me, but she doesn't want to break up. Therefore I think the guy is correct in this situation and he should leave her and take the car, house, kids, just everything.

Okafor Kenechi 6B
1/17/2026 01:18:29 pm

I think the girl is in the wrong because you shouldn't be worried about your ex while you're in a relationship. Me personally, I would've broken up with her because she is wasting my time.
