They were together for ages and are still friends and talk quite a lot. She already doesn't like me and has made it very clear, which makes things awkward when I try to hang out with him and his friends. I can't help feeling jealous of the relationship they had and worrying that he still has feelings for her, as she clearly still has feelings for him. To top it all off I just found out when we first started dating they were still sleeping together. How can I get past this issue?

In reply to newbern we started seeing each other about 3 months after they split up. He broke up with her.
To missaqua777 - We weren't exclusive, it was very casual at the start so its not like he was cheating on me. I'm just concerned about the fact it was his ex that he was sleeping with.
That's for your advice everyone - really appreciate it!

Out of respect for you he should distance himself and make it absolutely clear to both you and her that you are the apple of his eye, and ya know considering he was still sleeping with HER when you were first dating, that's a very bad thing, if you were exclusive.
My senses are strongly telling me that this guy has great potential to hurt you and he's not worth the pain. I dont think theres anything he can do to prove himself after sleeping with her, and the way he's disrespectful towards you. I'm sorry but I think you should get rid .
Take care xx

I think you should confront him about his feelings for her. If needed, tell him he can't talk to her anymore.
I hope this helps.

Erm...sounds very complicated.
Were you a rebound? How long after he split up with her did he start dating you?
And did she dump him or did he dump her?
If you kindly answer the above questions I could give you (for what it's worth) a more informed opinion.
