Bringing the EX back

I've been dating this girl for a couple of months now. We're enjoying the euphoria in a new relationship. What bothers me is that, there are a couple of times that my girlfriend brings up the Ex topic-her EX bf. I sometimes get pissed off and my day is ruined. Is she making me jealous or something????

I think your gf is just making you jealous in a lighter way. MAybe she wants you to become more intimate with her or more romantic for that matter. If she always do that, I guess it's time to confront her.Or.... make her jealous too by bringing your EX GF on the scene...

She may be teasing you a little. Maybe, she wants to she your reaction when she talks about her ex. I had that kind of experience when my gf tend to talk about her ex in front our common ex. It may feel strange though but I found out that she just want me to be kind of "possessive of her" and she can do that by making me a bit jealous.

May I ask what pisses you off exactly? The fact that she brings him up or how she brings him up?

She could just be teasing you, knowing you'd be jealous, or because she doen't feel you're into her enough to feel proprietal. Or she could still be hung up on him (were they newly broken up when you guys started dating?). Or they may still be talking and hanging out.

Anyway, once you know what's really ruffling your feathers, then you can determine if it's at all rational or not.

I think she just want to tease you up a little bit. She may be feeling you are not that into her. That "making you jealous" actions from her are signs that you need to work more in your relationship.She may seem to be bored already.

If it really bothers you and you can no longer take it, confront her. Tell her that it doesn't feel goof for you when she keeps on talking about her ex, especially with your friends..

Or... when she does it again, just simply ask if she misses him in a casual tone. That might make her realize that she's talking about the ex with the wrong person and this way, you need not even confront her about it like some jealous bf.

Try to make her reflect on the actions that she do. You may say " You seem to talk about him, do you want me to invite him when we hang out?" Make it not too serious, in a funny way, when you say it to her.

Give her a taste of her own medicine! When she's doing something, mention casually that an ex also used to do that or something similar. "You like Fergie? I have an ex who also used to adore her." Just don't do it again and again unless she doesn't get the message.

And if she doesn't, maybe it's better to just call her on it without being confrontational and immature.

"I've noticed that you like talking about your ex... is there a particular reason for that?"
"I've noticed that you like talking about your ex... should I be concerned?"
