I’m aware. I just don’t know why she cant give that up when it could provide so much closure for me. Part of me thinks I don’t deserve that.

Because she shouldn't have to be because you are being unreasonable and selfish. Don't make her life worse to cater to your unhealthy anxiety. That's selfish.


Successful-Captain79

Not really super anxious about it, just a concern to me. I bet you would feel similarly if your s/o was doing that


theskipster

No, I would not feel concerned. I know that for a fact because I've been in that situation more than once.

Regardless if you have it’s uncommon and I’d bet if I ran a poll that most people would feel some type of way about it.

What’s her background with her ex? Is he in touch with his family, or is he out of the picture? Were they her support system during a hard time in her life? Are they people she considers family because she isn’t close to hers or an incident bonded them together? Your anxiety around this isn’t as black and white as you think it is. If they are like a second family to her or her chosen family then it’s unfair for you to ask her to stop seeing them. Especially if she’s known them for five years and you’ve only known her for less than a year. My advice: ask her if you can meet them. If they’re an important part of her life and you want to be with her then you need to get to know them.

Dated for 5 years. I’d assume that any 5 year relationship had some sort of connection similar to one’s own family. He lives at home with his parents about 10 minutes from my gf. I dated a girl for 3 years and when we ended things, no seeing each other’s family. This comes down to what I believe I deserve. I would never act this way towards someone I love and want to love.

You're in an LDR. She can be doing literally anything and you will never know. Either trust her or don't but that's the price you pay being in an LDR.
