I used to be emotionally close with a woman before I met my current girlfriend of now two years. This was a deep and communicative friendship. It was platonic and never romantic or sexual at all. Still, had I been in a relationship at the time, I would definitely not have been as close emotionally with a third party as I was with this person at the time. Once I started dating my GF, I dialed contact back significantly. Still chatting from time to time, but nowhere near as deep or frequent.
Now, this person happened to move to my current area and contact naturally picked up a little bit. My GF also met her and it’s all good. Still, somehow I feel guilty for this. I told my GF that we were good friends from years prior. But…should I tell her in more detail how close we used to be even though it was platonic? My conscience tells me that I should, although I cannot quite place why. Advice appreciated.

You’re both adults with a history – share as much as feels right.
contact picked up a little bit? have you seen her in person?
U should 100%. The very fact that u r questioning whether you should means u think its something significant to warrant worry on your part. So go on unburden your soul my son.
