“So respect what I’m saying. I’m not going to make a promise to say and I’m going to ex my child’s father out.”
This declaration underscored her determination to balance her past with her emerging relationship with Mike, particularly after he had a conversation with Shay’s mother about his intentions.
Mike Raises Valid Concerns About Past Relationships
During their ongoing dialogue, Mike expressed unease about how frequently Shay’s ex was brought into the conversation. He remarked:
“I know a couple of things with Mom, and she can bring up your ex a lot.”
Mike voiced his desire to keep their relationship free from the shadows of the past. In response, Shay set a clear boundary, emphasizing that it was too soon to make irreversible commitments:
“One thing I’m not going to do is make you a bunch of promises.”
She stressed that they had only been on “three dates”and that deeper discussions about their pasts could wait until their relationship had evolved.
Shay Questions Mike’s Concerns and Priorities
Shay pointed out that Mike’s knowledge of her past stemmed primarily from his conversations with her and her mother, casting doubt on the depth of his concerns. She quoted Mike’s interactions regarding her mother’s protective inquiries:
“She wants to make sure that I’m not trying to take advantage of her daughter, which is definitely not my intention.”
Additionally, Mike proposed a bonding activity involving a spa day with Shay and her mother to create trust and connection.
The Importance of Focus on the Present
Shay shifted the focus back to their current relationship, asking:
“What about me? You don’t even know me yet.”
She asserted that their time spent together should prioritize mutual exploration over past romances. Though Mike assured her he was wholly focused on her:
“I’m a hundred percent focused on you.”
Shay remained skeptical, expressing her concerns about the timing of Mike’s requests:
“You’re asking something too soon. That’s just, I don’t like that.”
She reiterated her refusal to make hasty decisions, advocating for these discussions to be saved until their relationship matured further.
Conclusion: Setting the Stage for Healthy Boundaries

Shay was forthright in articulating her stance, ensuring that both parties understood the expectations early on.
