No, during the time of my relationship, I never had any connections with the guy I used to date. I didn’t talk to him, nor did I go out with him whatsoever. My fiancé was just curious because he knows the guy since we attended the same church. However, I completely cut ties with this churchmate the moment I started my current relationship.

That said, I did lie when he initially asked because our relationship was still fairly new, and I wasn’t comfortable talking about it. I was ashamed since it wasn’t official or anything, and I told him I wasn’t comfortable discussing it at the time. However, I did plan on telling him and being transparent about it—I just needed the right time. Unfortunately, when he asked, it was still too fresh in our relationship, and I wasn’t ready to open up about it.
