I'm sorry to hear about the way he's treating you. Sometimes there's a real reason to be jealous, and this sounds like one of them to me. Is she the ex he has 4 kids with, or he just misses *her* child?

What I would say and do wouldn't help you lol, so maybe ask him *why* is it sooo important for him to be friends with her? See what he says. What kind of friends? Occasionally say hi, or be texting all the time?

I read this fake story years ago...A woman went to a counselor for help with her jealousy issues. The counselor asked her, what makes her think she has jealousy issues? She replied " When me and my boyfriend go out, he leaves me and goes and dances with other women. He told me I'm jealous and to get over it. "...Umm, yeah, obviously she's not jealous, he's a *&**%$!!!

I agree totally with above poster btw.

Don't let someone take advantage of you because they know you have issues. Being "friends" with an ex is not a good idea. Especially when she left him and broke his heart! I'd be very leery on this one. I'm sorry, I hope I'm being helpful and not hurtful or anything. I just really feel for you hon and big hugs : )
