If you want your boyfriend to stop talking to his ex-girlfriend, why do you keep talking to your ex? Please don’t take it the wrong way, I am just trying to understand. It didn’t bother my boyfriend that I kept talking to my ex-boyfriend (with whom I stayed for almost a decade), but he didn’t want me to keep in touch with previous friends with benefits. I just stopped talking to my ex because I felt it was disrespectful.

Don’t feel guilty if you feel angry or lost or any type of feelings. You know yourself better than anyone else and you know what is good and right for you. You said your boyfriend has complete access to your phone but doesn’t like you touching his -don’t you think it’s a bit odd? I think you have every right to know when he has seen or talked to her, but that is just my personal opinion.

My boyfriend and his ex too have a lot of mutual friends and I am going to meet some of them for the first time this weekend (as well as his family who is still in touch with her on social media…) I will do my best not to bring the whole ex thing up and not get angry with my boyfriend, but I have been overthinking everything for the past few days and am pretty nervous about meeting them.
