writes: Hello,Any help would be appreciated, I think that my better half is cheating on me. I cant help but think that my partner of one year has thought about maybe getting involved with her ex boyfriend. I know that she would not want him back in a typical long term relationship, but just as a fling. They were very close and still have contact with each other. I am being a typical man about this fact and are pretending that this does not phase me, but it is... Is there anybody that can tell me how to get rid of this constant jealousy? Please someone tell me how to not worry about this?Thanks,

 Hi There,
To me, it depends on the context as to why they are still really close friends. Were they long time friends before they went out? Do they still have feelings for each other?
I know that for me, it would be the context of the contact. Once you can answer that, then you ca figure out if there is a reason to feel jealous. The other issue is if you are just a jealous guy in general, or is it just with this specific thing.
My overall feeling is that if you have intentions to marry her, then I can understand perfectly, as a method to protect your marriage, that you would discourage her connection with the ex. If you are not serious about her long term yet, then enjoy the relationship for what it is, and just keep an eye out.
