What should I do?
My partner and I were on a break for a while and during that time something happened between them and their ex. I still don’t fully know what happened because they never told me. After we got back together, they casually mentioned that they’re friends with their ex now, and recently I found out there was more to the story.
The thing is… I don’t even know if I want to ask for the full truth because I know once I hear it, it’s going to change how I look at everything. Right now I’m stuck between feeling like I deserve honesty and feeling like ignorance might actually hurt less.
Part of me is upset that they kept it from me in the first place. Another part of me wonders if technically it shouldn’t matter because we were on a break. But it still feels weird because now this ex is still in their life as a “friend,” and I can’t tell if I’m overthinking or if my gut is trying to tell me something.
Would you want to know the full truth in this situation, even if it could damage the relationship? Or would you leave it alone if the relationship feels okay otherwise?
