what is the best way to deal with existing plates when you enter an exclusive relationship? I had four plates who were very down for me, ended up picking one and then just stopped responding/didn't text the other three. Two months being exclusive I decided I wanted to spin four plates again. Taking a break from that plate and hit up the others and 2 out of the 3 basically ghosting me.

What I suspect here is that they're still butthurt I stopped talking to them so they are now trying to get back at me. To avoid this in the future, should I just disclose I've gone exclusive with another girl? Or is the play to just disappear and then re-appear? Don't tell if they don't ask?
