Hello Therapist: Me & my wife are happy & trying for a baby; Suddenly my ex wants to get in touch; What to do?

Hello Therapist, 

I have been married for the last 5 years and we are planning to have a baby. We are very happy together. But now the only issue is that my ex-girlfriend wants to be in touch with me and I can't say no to her. I know my wife won't like it. Please suggest what should I do? 

Hello Pinkvilla Reader, 

If you can assure your wife that you know your boundaries very well and will adhere to restrictions, then the wife’s confidence can help you out. Don’t talk to your ex without your wife’s knowledge. The behaviour of marital possessiveness is actually an evolutionary adaptation and an ex can definitely be seen as a threat. Best is to decide your priorities and not get swayed into unnecessary hassles if you are planning on having a baby.
