My previous long-term relationship ended 4 years ago. After the break-up me and my ex were still communicating via WhatsApp sporadically. This was during Covid lockdowns and both of us were single.
My new relationship started 1.5 years ago. 6 months in to the relationship my Ex messaged me to see how I'm doing. I responded to her and told her that I'm in a new relationship and moved overseas due to family issues. My new partner thinks that I was continuing to communicate with her and sees this as a disrespect to her.
There has been no communication at all, but she thinks I'm secretly contacting my Ex. I even deleted my old WhatsApp account.
There have been ongoing arguments and mistrust since then.
Should I have ignored my Ex's message and was I wrong responding to her?
