It’s important to establish healthy boundaries and prioritize your well-being in relationships.

You may not be ready to move on if you can’t do this with your ex.

If someone consistently exhibits behaviors that make you uncomfortable or if they are unable to maintain appropriate boundaries with their exes, it may be a red flag.

However, it’s also crucial to approach these situations with communication and understanding.

You keep in touch with your ex: Staying in contact with your ex can often be a red flag, particularly when there’s no apparent reason to maintain communication.

Remaining in touch with someone from your past may open the door to the possibility of rekindling old emotions or creating new emotional entanglements.

This is especially inadvisable when you’re already committed to a new relationship.

You can’t block them to save your relationship: If you find it challenging to set clear boundaries with your ex, it may pose a threat to your current relationship.

In such cases, prioritizing your current partner’s feelings and the health of your relationship becomes crucial.

If maintaining contact with your ex is causing conflicts in your current relationship, it’s essential to assess whether it’s worth jeopardizing your current connection for the sake of lingering ties.

You keep comparing everyone to your ex: In addition, constantly comparing your current partner to your ex may indicate unresolved feelings or lingering attachments.

This habit can hinder the growth of your current relationship, preventing it from developing its unique dynamics.

It’s important to appreciate your current partner for who they are and embrace the differences instead of measuring them against your past experiences.

Ultimately, open communication with your current partner about your feelings, boundaries, and concerns is vital for maintaining a healthy and trusting relationship.

Don’t let unresolved issues with your ex affect your current relationship, addressing these concerns and making necessary changes is crucial for the well-being of your current relationship.

Remember that they are exes for a reason let the past remain in the past and focus on the future.

Judge orders man to write 144 compliments about his ex-girlfriend

When sentencing wrongdoers, judges sometimes choose to mete out punishments that go beyond the usual fine or prison time.
That was the case last week for one Hawaii judge who ordered a defendant to write more than 140 “nice” things about his ex-girlfriend after he violated a protection order.
“For every nasty thing you said about her, you’re going to say a nice thing,” 2nd Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo told Daren Young, 30, per the AP. “No repeating words.”
Young, of Kahului, Hawaii, was ordered in February to stop contacting his ex. But two months later, he called and texted her 144 times over the span of about three hours. According to the Maui News, he was arrested and spent 157 days in jail.

At his sentencing on Friday, Young received time served and was placed on two years probation. Loo also slapped him with $2,400 in fines and 200 hours of community service, then gave him the writing assignment.
“It’s so childish to think a grown man can be so thumb-happy,” Loo told Young in court. “I hope you don’t have a phone anymore and, if you do, I hope you don’t have her number anymore.”
Other justices who have made headlines for their unusual sentences include Ohio Judge Michael Cicconetti and Texas Judge Mike Peters. Cicconetti once ordered two 19-year-olds to lead a donkey through the streets with a sign that said “Sorry for the jackass offense” after vandalizing a Nativity scene. In 2004, Peters sentenced a woman to 30 days in jail for starving two horses. On the first three days in prison, he ordered that she only be served bread and water.
“She’s going to get more than her horses got,” Peters said.

One of Ghana’s most celebrated footballers, Nii Odartey Lamptey has spoken about his devastating and very public divorce battle with his ex-wife.

The former U-17 and U-20 and senior Black Stars forward has spoken about his ordeal for the first time on television.

Lamptey was hosted by Yaw Ampofo Ankrah during the 2017 Confederations Cup match between Mexico and Portugal on Kwese TV.

“It was very tough and devastating. I have been living in a rented apartment for the past four years and I’m grateful to God that I will now will have properties and other businesses that I lost back. I don’t feel shy talking about it because it has taught me a great lesson and it’s also part of life”

The soft spoken Lamptey said he has no ill feeling after his life changing ordeal.

” I feel no regret or bitterness, I rather feel blessed. I have forgiven my ex-wife and moved on”. I have now settled down with my new wife and two kids”, Odartey disclosed.

An Accra High Court ruled that, Gloria Appiah, his former wife, committed ‘adultery’ when she conceived three children outside of wedlock and subsequently quashed her motion to be awarded half of the property of the former footballer.

Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey, who presided over the matter, also ordered the estranged wife to vacate the footballer’s plush 7-bedroom apartment in East Legon.

Lamptey is the founder of the Glow-Lamp Soccer Academy in Elmina and also the proprietor of an educational facility in the Ghanaian capital Accra.
