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

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.

Wow, sorry, OP. It seems like she's very close to her ex. I don't know about you, but that seems a little suspicious. Whether anything is going on or not, it's still not fair to you. You are the one in the relationship with her, so you should be the one to console her. You guys need to have a serious talk as soon as possible. Good luck.

So? Obviously her ex makes her feel better. Maybe you did something to make her not want to share her problems with you anymore. I stopped telling my friend my problems when every time I did he said 'oh' or 'in sorry' and quickly changed the subject. Maybe her ex is a good person to talk to. Fact is, you don't make her feel better and maybe you need to improve something

And this right here is why I refuse to talk to my ex while she has a boyfriend. It is totally rude to the significant other. I feel sorry for you.

I'm sorry to tell you OP but having an emotional affair is a legitimate thing...but talk to her and try to get her to have an open discussion. You sound like a good guy though,

get out now!!!! someone who still regularly communicates deep issues with an ex has boundary issues. Serious relationship red flag!

She could go to her ex when she's upset due to a shared experience that makes him better to talk to when she's upset. Something like a lost parent or maybe a shared mental disorder like depression or something. Yes, ideally you should be able to talk to your SO about anything, but practically some people are better at understanding certain problems than others. Some people also become good platonic friends with exs. After all, something made them compatible in the first place, and while a relationship might not have worked, that doesn't mean the compatibility doesn't work for a friendship.
