I really need help letting go of my boyfriend's past. I have no idea why its become such an issue for me, but it has. My boyfriend and I have been together for around a year, and before me he had three long term relationships, and was with many women in between.

My biggest issues are with his last girlfriend and his numerous random hook ups. His last ex bothers me a lot. I think this is partially because it was his longest relationship and the most recent....plus he still talks to her now and then (less now, but a lot before and when we started seeing eachother), had a picture of her in his wallet up until a couple months ago, and shes a huge ******. I don't even know her and she messaged me once accusing me of "creeping" her on facebook because I had added her boyfriend (who I've known since kindergarten!) to facebook. She made this big deal about it to me, then text my boyfriend saying that I was "creeping" her and all this stuff, and that her boyfriend and I had something in common: we both have buckteeth (I do not, although I obsessed over my slightly big front teeth for weeks after lol). From what I've heard, this girl when they were together was overly jelous and over-bearing (she created his facebook account and would talk to people pretending to be him). She also cheated on him, and they broke up but got back together after. I get bothered by her a lot. Probably doesn't help that he called me by her name last week. First time hes ever done that in a year, and it was after seeing her father that day, but of course still bothered me.

His random past hook ups bother me a lot too. I think because there were many, some of which I know, some of which he likely still talks to sometimes. One girl he used to hook up with for a couple months last spring is a girl that I'm friends with now....but it still really bothers me knowing they've slept together. She lives around the corner from us with her boyfriend and newborn, and its not that I see her as a threat (like I said we're actually very good friends now) but it still bothers me a lot.

Anyone have any advice for letting this kind of stuff go and not letting it bother me?

I know its no good to worry about the past, and hes with me now not any of these past woman, but I can't seem to help but let it bother me, sometimes more than other times.
