[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He shouldn’t be riding the fence here. What would happen if you asked him to cut all contact with her? A one time conversation that their communication with each other is really not appropriate any longer (it’s been SIX years).  The kids are old enough to call on their own.

Maybe your boyfriend is a simply a nice guy and doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. I think the former girlfriend still has some feelings for him. If you are serious about the boyfriend, I think you can make some demands. The downside is you don’t really know how he will react, but wouldn’t you rather know now vs    a year from now?[/quote]

FWIW, I’d be careful making “demands.”  If I was told by my GF that she expected me to cut off contact with someone, I’d view it as incredibly controlling, wonder why she felt so threatened, and react quite negatively.  There’s a fair chance that this kind of demand will create an issue where one doesn’t actually exist.  [/quote]

I am not going to make any demands.   I agree that this would be controlling and impact the relationship negatively in the long run.  I would
probably just end the relationship at this point.   I know that he doesn't want to lose me.  I will try to have a little more faith in him and see how things develop.  And perhaps, you are correct that perhaps there really isn't an issue.  I  do feel though that his ex-girlfriend has not moved on since the breakup and I don't think that she will ever date again.
