It hurts me that my bf is so caring and protective of his ex gf. Advice needed!

A female , anonymous writes:

I find myself in a rut and not knowing what to do. I love my boyfriend very much but it hurts me to know that he is so protective and caring about his ex-girlfriend. When we first started dating he made it a point to tell me that they were still friends and that they still hang out. To begin with I already have insecurities with this because of my own previous relationships. I have trusted a few guys to be burned by them in that they have still been interested in their ex's or I have been continually rediculed because I didn't compare to an ex. I realize that he is a different person and I have talked to him about my insecurities and he has done what he can to make me more comfortable with the situation. I know that he loves me, it's just that it hurts to know that they were together for over 3 years and they never had any apart time from being boyfriend/girlfriend to becoming friends. I fear that I won't be able to get past this. I am frustrated in trying to get over it and no longer know what to really do.

Alright, i know exactly how this guy feels because i also have an ex boy that i went out with for about 3 years and he is my good friend and protective of me..it might be very hard for you to understand ( and i understand why) but being in a realtionship with someone for 3 years and trying so hard to work it out, and it never works, does suck...it was most likely his first love..and when you know someone for that long and cared about them deeply, you will always be connected to that person and you will always be friends with that person after the breakup..that is probably how he feels..in my opinion, you should keep your guard up, but dont be to cold. when he says he loves you trust him, becasue he wouldnt be with you if he didnt at least like you alot. I think you should trust him for now..but if he starts hinting in anyway he wants to break up, you should break up with him before it gets to hard.
