Selller Retain Mineral Rights & Implied Rights of Ingress/Egresss

Hello, I am negotiating a deal for a 5 acre piece of land in Texas.  Seller was clear that they wanted to retain mineral rights.  The contract addendum on mineral rights, also indicates that the seller wants to retain implied rights of ingress and egress.  I did not anticipate this.  I expected all surface use requests to come through me as the new owner.  I feel uncomfortable with this and have pushed back on this request.   Seems to me the seller would still be able to call all of the shots on surface use as it pertains to minerals.  What if his surface use views conflict with mine?  Is this customary, or am I being taken advantage of?  Any advice is welcomed.
