Well I have been dating my girlfriend for almost 5 months now and everything is going great, until something comes up about her "best friend". So here is the sum of their relationship. They have know each other for their whole life's, but really became friends in the past three years. They have dated twice and both times my girlfriend has ended their relationship, but their still best friends. And their last relationship ended about a year ago. So now I'm in the picture, and I'm trying to deal with their friendship. We have had talks about her EX and how I don't feel that comfortable with it. So she agreed to distance herself from him a little and I appreciated her decision. Then when we started school again and it seems the problem came back. And mind you I have never met him and wouldn't really mind to meet him, because you know it's my girlfriend best friend . So when I saw him at school (I guess) he acted all weird and didn't really talk to my girlfriend. So I kind of felt weird too, then I ask my Girlfriend what was that all about and then she tells me that he acts that way whenever she brings me up in conversation and such. And yeah then I start to think that he has feelings for her still and he can't see me with her. So recently we had a talk about it again. This time it was because she was hanging out with him a lot recently and I can't really help not to feel jealous because all I hear about is how much fun they had and all that stuff. So I feel insecure about it because I think that she doesn't have that much fun with me as she does with her ex. So then we start to talk about it. So she tells me about this concert that me and my Girlfriend are going to (he's going too with his friends) and all he's going to do is say hi and then leave because I'm going to be there. Then he tells her that he still cares for her. And my Girlfriend told me that she doesn't know to react to that, but was going to still hang with him. So then she tell me that she cannot shut him out of her life because he's that kind of friend that will always be there and I respect that, but that fact is that he still feels the way he did when the two of them were together. So my Girlfriend assures me that she doesn't feel the same way he does and I believe her. I'm not worried about her cheating on me because I know she's not that type of person, but I cannot help but feel awkward about the whole situation. So I told her that I will try to push those feeling away and try not to worry about it and only think about her.
so any opinion on my situation would help. I would just like to see what others think about it.. Thank you.
