How can I deal with my boyfriends friendship with his ex?

What's the best way to deal with my boyfriend still being friends with his ex? How can I stop worrying and being jealous?

My boyfriend of 7 months is still friends with his ex from over a year ago.

They talk often on skype and texting, and there was even a time where I saw she texted him a message saying she missed him.

I don't make a big deal about this to him but in all honesty, it bothers me a lot that she's still in his life like this.

He has told me he's over her and that he doesn't want to be mean and just not talk to her anymore.

What can I do about this?

YouWish agony auntYou can stay, or you can leave. That's your choice. Ultimatums rarely work, and this level of baggage is not for everyone in a relationship.

I personally would leave. When I leave a relationship, I end it all the way. I know there are issues like children that keep the contact there, but this isn't like that.

I would tell him that the more you think about it, the more you realize that you aren't interested in a relationship where a guy you're interested keeps a close friendship with someone they had sex with.

Try to be a little more grown up and realize that your boyfriend knew girls before he met you. Some may remain friends.

Has every guy you've known and liked before your boyfriend disappeared off the planet? Have you accepted other guys on Facebook as friends? How should your boyfriend deal with that?

Could you ever possibly run into one of those boys?

Should he be worried or jealous? Is he your very first boyfriend? Did he know that if he was friends with another girl that could be a deal-breaker? You might want to let him know.

If you go back a few posts, you'll see answers to this very same question.

You can dump him. Are you going to do that?
