don Force your partner to do this

Don't ever force your partner to delete their numbers, or force him to stop entertaining his or her ex. Some red flags are obviously and they do not need to be corrected. You just need to excuse yourself from such toxicity. A person who truly loves you will respect you and value your relationship to an extent where he or she cut lines with his or her ex. Remember,

you can force them to delete their numbers but you cannot stop them from communicating secretly if the bond is still there.
