Should I tell partner

[JustOneApple]

So firstly I love my partner with all my heart. I would never in a million years do anything to hurt him. He is God's gift to me.

My EA ex has messaged me today. It started off just saying hi how are you etc... But ended up in him apologising and saying he thinks about me all the time and he now appreciates the relationship we had etc... I just replied to say thank you for the apology and hope he is happy in life.

My question is should I tell my partner? I have nothing to hide. I have no intention of responding any further or striking up anymore conversation with ex. I'm thinking for full transparency I should tell DP but at the same time I don't want him to worry either...

What's the best do you think?!

I would tell him. Maybe in such a way as "Oh, I got an odd message today". He should trust you but if he ever found out later down the line it could be construed as you being secretive about it and it might make him worry a little.

Tell him. You have nothing to hide. You have no intention of responding. He's got nothing to worry about.

Tell him

Yes. You love him.

Thanks all. I'll tell him when I'm home from work. I just don't like the thought of him worrying about me replying! Because I know I wouldn't but don't want to put the idea in his head if that makes sense. But you're right it's better to tell him than for him to stumble across them in the future
