Now don't get me wrong, I trust my boyfriend with all my heart, but it still bothers me that he is still so close with his ex-girlfriend of nearly a year. He mentions her occasionally looking for a reaction of some sort from me. I don't want to mention it to him because he will think I am being completely ridiculous about it when I have no reason to be. I mean, I still am good friends with my ex and he doesn't show any sign of caring. But it's different, they have so much in common and I can't help but think he might fall for her again. What do you think I should do?

I know you all are right, the obvious choice is to simply talk to him. But I know all he is going to do is constantly reassure me that he feels nothing for her and then he is going to think i'm pissed or jealous or whatever whenever he does happen to see her in the future and i don't want him to feel that way. i'm just being insecure, i know.

And as for the not letting it bother me in front of him thing, I did that today. I was at his house and she pulls in and he looks at her and then me and he is like Oh I invited (her name) and some other girl, is that okay? and i was like oh yeah yeah, it's cool. She ended up not even coming inside and she left after she talked to him for a few seconds. It was weird.

I don't know what I expect him to do if I don't talk to him about it. I just wish he could just figure it out. Isn't it clear that I wouldn't want him spending so much time with his ex, who broke up with him by the way.

that seems a bit shady to me. if i was in your situation and my boyfriend invited over his ex while i was over and didn't even ask me if it was okay (putting me in a situation where i was forced to be okay with it), i'd be pissed off.

^yea i agree.

everything sounded fine until that part. i think you should specifically ask him about that one time, like "heyyy i know you and ___ are cool and everything but how come you invited her over? you know that was pretty awkward right..."

i think you should trust him, but you also definetly have a right to confront him about his ex after what happened.
