My girlfriend made a comment...?

[RussianMonk]

I'm very upset because my girlfriend is still friends with her ex-boyfriend on Facebook. She claims that they have nothing going on between them and she made a very hurtful comment: "I'm sorry this is going to sound wrong, and every guy was hurt by this, but Alex knows me better than you probably ever will." Fair enough, they've been together longer than we have. Her and Alex for two years, me and her for one. However I tried to explain that just by the simple fact of being FRIENDS with someone on Facebook is a gateway to other things, such as a relationship. I even asked her "How do you think WE got together? Because I added you on Facebook in the first place". I also do not like the fact that she made me remove ALL of my ex-girlfriends from my friends' list while she is still friends with hers.

Also, we are in a long-distance relationship, I'm away at a four-year university. She doesn't have a job, not going to school either. That type of environment puts a lot of stress on us, trust wise.

Should I suck it up and let it be? Or should I somehow approach this argument from a different point of view?

Thank you

Hit her up about it

sounds like a imbalanced relationship, if she made you do something and won't do the same.

Your best bet is to break up with her and find a girl while you are at university. Instead of dating some hypocritical, uneducated and unemployed girl.

Your window of opportunity for finding a good girl is small, and your best shot is at university. Don't waste it.

If she made you remove your exes but she won't remove hers, and if she said that her ex knows her better than you ever will know her...then that;s her fault. You should approach from a different point of view because I mean really, on Facebook you can personal message people, so you'll never know what the two of them are talking about if they are talking.

Personally I'd have no problem with her being a FB friend with her ex. She's your girlfriend now so he's the one missing out. What is completely wrong is that she made you unfriend all your exes - that's a double standard. Since you're away at university and she's making little effort at self-improvement, I think your relationship is probably doomed to failure anyway so you might as well kill it sooner than later.

No, dont take that. I would do the same thing with my girlfriend, except she doesn't have an ex's so slightly different there, But that comment, you should tell her that you're meant to be the guy that knows her the best, and that you're meant to be the only guy she should be paying attention to...

You are absolutely out of your mind dude for dating a girl who is
1) friends with her ex
2) claims he will always know her better than you
3) a long distance away
4) you are in college with tons of loose girls
5) you are crazy man drop the girl let her get on with her ex then , I wouldn't take that I'd say nah foget that then. seeya. and then she'd be all over me again because I wouldn't want her anymore!

I wouldn't trust her if she still had her ex as a friend

It seems she still has some kind of feelings or attachment to her ex Alex.
If you are uneasy and stressed out over this, talk to her properly and tell her about your doubts openly.
If she still insist on being in contact with Alex, then it is up to you to stay in this r/s or not.
Do you trust her enough?

You stated that you met her through Facebook, which shows that she might meet her ex or any guy through Fb, just like the way you two met.
Since she is still attached to Alex, there's a possibility she might leave you for him.
I mean, if not, why the hell does she still want to keep in touch with him, even as a friend?

It is really not fair to you since you have to delete your exes while she is still keeping her ex, Alex.
If you are unhappy, and you are constantly stressed out that she might meet Alex or other men since she is so free that she is neither schooling nor working
then why stay? if you are unhappy, leave.
Pardon me, but she seems to be a selfish girl who only cares about herself.
As a girlfriend, she should try to keep you happy not the other way round.
