Recently I started seeing a girl and seem to really like her. I like her personality and it's fun to spend time with her. But very early on she started telling about her ex and how her last relationships had some trouble. I'm cool with that , it's very to the point, no need to go further. But it just seems the topic keeps coming back. She brings up things here and there without I think realizing it. It makes me feel weird because I'm trying to have a fresh relationship with her and when she says something about her ex I picture her with him. In 3 weeks I know she has 5 boyfriends in her whole life, She's been on birth control for 3 of them. I did ask how many bf she has but the other info she brought up during conversations. I'm not sure why it bothers me so much , I been with other girls before ,but this girl I really really like. Is it weird to feel jelous or uncomfortable when a girl brings up her ex cause I do all the time....

    I totally get it. When someone is very special to you, you want to be special to her aswell. It sucks to feel like you're just "another guy" she's dating. I know it's hard, but the only thing you can really do about it is talk to her. Also now that you know what it feels like you can learn to be more sensitive about the subject yourself.
    Wish you luck.

    At least you haven't met his ex's... I can now cross boyfriend's ex-girlfriend following me on Instagram off my bucket list...

    Most likely she has some hurt unresolved feelings about her ex. Not saying she loves the guy, but she might be upset about how he treated her and holding on to anger and regret from the past.

    I know I did this for a while, and how you felt was probably how my boyfriend felt when I brought an ex up without realizing it. Luckily, he was honest about his feelings and we work through it. He helped me feel a million times better about my past, and surprisingly I haven't brought up an ex since. So my advice would be to talk to her and see if you can find the root of the problem.
