Ok, so I have been going out with this guy for almost a month, but it feels like it has been longer becasue of certian things. I mean we have been like best friends since 6th grade and we madeout before going out, so it's not like we started out as slow as some people might. He's still really good friends with his ex, I mean I'm friends with her too and I'm also good friends with my ex, but I get jealous of his relationship with her, and I'm not usually a jealous person. I don't know how to say anything to him, or to her, because it's a werid subject for me, and to top things off the only person that I can really talk to about with, or have really talk to about it at all with, is my ex. How do I say something without sounding like a girlfriend who reads too much into things and worries too much?

You shouldn't be worried that he will like her or that he might do something because if he liked her he would be with her. You know that he is YOURS and not hers. Most guys don't like when they are not trusted and then the girlfriend ends up doing something stupid because of her jelousy. Since you do want to say something to him, what would you say?? That you're jelous of him and his ex? He might get a little offended by that because you're friends with your ex to. If you want to keep a good relationship with him you need to learn how to trust him and you could do that. No matter what he will always be yours and not hers. Just tell him that you do get a little jelous but that you still trust him to make good decisions. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Seriously not a big deal if you bring it up in a non-accusing way. Pretty much everyone gets all paranoid at some point where relationships are concerned (i hope...otherwise i'm really weird) and if you're in a good relationship you'll support each other, maybe make an extra effort with them when that person's around for a while.
God knows I get jealous about my boyfriends girl-friends and considering the amount of guy friends i have that makes me a complete hypocrite- it's not rational, just relationship instincts.

stuff like that, you shouldnt hide anything from him.
im sure he will understand why you would feel this way, anyone would. [ SweetxxIntoxication's advice column | Ask SweetxxIntoxication A Question ]
