You love your BF, and you think he loves you. You should be in paradise. But wait, what's that? Oh no... it's his ex-girlfriend...
... and she seems to want him back! If your BF's ex is all over him, should you be worried about your relationship?
Feeling Jealous
You know your BF cares for you. But when his ex-girlfriend is flirting with him all the time, it's pretty normal to feel jealous. However, how SHE feels and what your boyfriend feels are totally different things. It's important that you don't let your worries get out of hand and cloud your judgment, or you could lose a good boyfriend.
Talk to Your BF
True, your boyfriend's ex could be a threat. So what can you do? Have a good talk with your boyfriend. Pick a good time when you are both relaxed and in a good mood - like a weekend afternoon or a quiet time after school. In the calmest way possible, tell him again how anxious you feel about his ex-girlfriend flirting with him and acting like she still wants to date him. Assure him that you know he loves you, and wouldn’t cheat on you, but you are having difficulty shaking off the bad feelings because of the fact that he hasn't stopped flirting with his ex.
Keep It Together
Whatever you do, don't start fighting or yelling! If you give in to anger, the ex-girlfriend wins. That's exactly what she wants, after all - to create problems in your relationship. You can avoid this and come out the winner by being straight-forward with your boyfriend about your feelings and needs.
