Today, my girlfriend was feeling a little down, so I tried to console her. She said she just needed space and I respected that. Then an hour later she was fine, so I asked how she did it. She replied that she talked to her ex for a whole hour. This is a common procedure. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I spent hours consoling my girlfriend for getting dumped by the guy she was cheating on me with. FML
Today, I had a rare phone call from my ex-girlfriend. We ended up talking for hours about old times. It was the best conversation we have had in forever, it made me miss her and miss us. Later on in the day, she called back asking what we talked about. She was too high too remember. FML
Today, I was having an after work-out dinner with my ex-girlfriend and we were having a great time, catching up, eating good food, all the good things. Then when I got home, I realized I just talked to my ex-girlfriend for an hour and a half about how much better her new boyfriend is than me. FML
Today, I talked to my ex on AIM after not speaking to her since we broke up two years ago. The conversation lead up to her asking how I feel about her. So I poured my heart and soul out to her, because I still love her. She immediately logged off. FML
Today, my girlfriend chose to hate-stalk her ex-best friend's social media, then angrily rant to me for over an hour about what she saw. This happens three or four times a week. They last spoke over a decade ago. The last time I suggested therapy, she didn't speak to me for a week. FML
Today, my girlfriend called me and said she needs to take a break from our relationship. Why? Her really clingy ex is really depressed about her dating someone else and he isn't ready to accept it. So she wants to take a break "for his sake" until he's over her. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend was dumped, and was absolutely depressed. My girlfriend thought she'd show her sympathy by breaking up with me so they "could be single together." FML
Today, I woke up to my girlfriend sobbing so I went over to comfort her. She didn't want to talk about it, but was inconsolable. I called her best friend to help out, as maybe it's easier for her to talk to a woman instead. I found out from her friend that my partner's ex got his new girlfriend pregnant. That's why. FML
Today, I was having a romantic dinner with my girlfriend when she said she had a confession. I expected something cute. Instead, she told me she’s been "reconnecting" with her ex for the past month... and wants to go back to him. FML
Today, I went to see my girlfriend to talk about my anxiety, because it's been a big issue. She broke up with me instead. FML

OP you need to sit down and talk to her about this since it's bothering you. If she can't come to you to talk about things then what's the point of a relationship? While it's great that she has someone else to talk to, I would think that it would be more of a girlfriend or someone close. Not saying that talking to an ex is a bad idea but when she's opening up it might be a little worrisome and bothersome. BTW, I like the fact that you gave her space. My husband and I had problems where he wanted to jump right in to help and I just needed time to think through things. That's very respectful and I applaud you for that. Again, just sit down and talk to her.

it is great she has someone to talk to but if she is,not able to talk to,you about things that bother her, then there is not much room for the relationship to,develop. I do believe that you both need to sit and have a discussion and it may be time to part ways

Is this relationship new? Maybe she broke apart with her ex but still remained friends and so if they got a long history together she could not have talked with OP like she could with her ex. In that case time will change it. Last time i checked talking with your ex who is still your friend is not cheating and story doesn't tell if they planned to meet each other or not.

That to me just screams she doesn't care enough to talk to you about the problem and still likes/loves the ex.

Maybe her ex was a friend from the past, and she is still close with him. I know plenty of people who are still great friends with their exs. If it bothers you too much, talk to her. I hope it all works out :)

My ex who is married does the same thing she always calls me when she's having big time problems. I have no feelings for her and yes she's still a great friend but I think if she keeps this up her marriage won't last and I'm stuck smack in the middle of this dilemma. You need to talk to her or leave her soon.

Maybe he's just such a piece of crap that talking to him for an hour reminds her how much better she has it now.

Maybe after chatting with the ex for an hour she realized that he's an ex form a reason and things really aren't that bad? Go with that.

You did nothing wrong, she asked for space and you respected that. The thing is, there's nothing wrong on keeping an ex as a friend, but that should be all. He's not her therapist nor his boyfriend to help her dealing with her mood. Maybe you could talk her, and explain how this bothers you. Wish you luck :)
