Anupam Kher questions normalising ex-partner friendships
Anupam Kher, a famous actor, talked about why it's not a good idea to be friends with your ex-partner.
He thinks that people are making it too casual to hang out with exes while being in a new relationship.
He believes that ex-partners share a special history and intimacy that doesn't just go away.
A psychologist named Dr. Ashish Pandey agrees and says that it's normal to feel a bit jealous or insecure when your partner is friends with an ex.
He explains that the brain doesn't forget past emotional experiences, so it's important to set clear boundaries and be honest with each other to maintain a healthy relationship.
Anupam Kher questioned the normalisation of friendships with ex-partners during a promotional interview.
He expressed concern about the emotional intimacy and shared history that ex-partners carry.
Dr. Ashish Pandey, a psychologist, agreed that expecting partners to be comfortable with ex-friendships is often unrealistic.
Jealousy can be a healthy sign if it leads to seeking reassurance and clarity, according to Dr. Pandey.
Healthy trust in a relationship involves transparency, clear boundaries, and emotional loyalty.
