An ex recently reached out after several years of no contact. We were in a relationship for almost 7 years.
I have completely moved on from that relationship.
If you’re currently in a relationship, obviously you want to consider how your partner would react and be mindful of their feelings.
Does the same apply when you start dating someone?
What is the consensus if you are on the receiving end whether you’re dating and/or are already in a committed relationship?

I’m not sure I understand your question. If an ex reached out to me in a romantic way, and I’m dating someone else or just not interested, I’d turn him down nicely. If an ex reached out for a different reason, I may respond. It depends on the context and reason for contacting me. I don’t think it’s 100% wrong to talk with an ex 100% of the time. It depends on the situation. What did your ex say to you?

@Miss_A
The context was nothing of substance. Just general chit chat, no romantic undertones.
I don’t necessarily think it’s 100% wrong either to talk with an ex but not everyone holds the same view.

How’d you feel if your significant other was in the same predicament i.e. an ex contacted him? Would you rather he tell you about it casually? Or not mention it to you because ignorance is bliss?
I personallg give the relationship precedence; I disclose it thereby minimizing its value. But that’s my standard. I dont have to worry about my partner blowing up because someone with that poor a temperament- wouldnt be in a rship with them to begin with. If she gets insecure, I’m good at reassuring so it ends up being a positive event. Win win
It’s one of those things that you dont really need to know if it’s trivial because you trust your partner, but if you stumbled upon the text chat, it could be awkward or open a can of worms.

I think your approach pretty much aligns with my own thought process.
Thanks for your feedback.
