"It makes me uncomfortable how my girlfriend still interacts with her ex " - KZN Listener
This listener has reached out seeking advice, he doesn't think he is unreasonable in his wishes...
This week, Stacey and J Sbu received a voice note from a KZN male who is seeking advice with regards to his girlfriend.
This listener knew that when he met his girlfriend he had to adapt.
He is in love with, according to him, "the most beautiful woman in the world" and they have a great relationship and bond, but there is just one thing he cannot get over.
LISTEN:"My husband thinks it's inappropriate to suggest contraceptives for our 20-year-old daughter"
I knew when I met my gf that I would have to accept the fact that she has a lot of male friends, I will be honest this was very difficult for me in the beginning however I have learnt to live with a few of her friends. I have even formed my own relationships with them. But there is one friendship with someone who is of the opposite sex that I cannot accept and in the last few weeks it has caused some conflict between me and my girlfriend.
Have a listen to this guy as he shares his story with us below:
That relationship that the boyfriend is uncomfortable with was with his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, whom she was with for six years.
Not only do the two remain friends, he is also very close friends with his girlfriend's brother, which means at family events he tends to show up.
"Recently, the ex has had a bereavement in his family and my girlfriend dropped everything to be by him and his families side. I trust her- that is not the issue, which she likes to simplify and draw to that conclusion when I bring up how their relationship makes me uncomfortable- can it not be enough that it makes me uncomfortable and I would rather there be some distance? I do not think I am being unreasonable in my wishes…"
Sometimes a blast from the past ex can bring up some emotions.
It's a difficult situation to tackle, but we asked KZN if they had any advice to offer this gentleman in need...
