OK, I've been with my current girlfriend for like 2 months now. In the beginnig before we became offcial she told me she kept in touch with an ex of hers from time to time, but since we became an official item she told him that she doesn't want to continue their communcation. Ever since then she told me she doesn't talk to him anymore - at all; so I took that as the plain truth.

A couple of weeks ago I found a message on her cell phone from him saying, he wanted to get back with her. I confronted her about it and she admitted that she receives texts from him telling her he wants her back but that she doesn't respond to them.

So ever since that conversation I've been feeling very worried and nervous about our relationship. I basically have a hard time trusting her and that she's not seeing this guy behind my back. I have to admitt she spends most of her time with me but that still doesn't make me feel secure about the relationship. I want to trust her but I don't want to be naive about anything either. What should I do? I hate feeling nervous all the time.

Your relationship is still new so I would take her four her word. My guess is that she didn't tell you because she didn't want to get you upset. If this really bothers you ask her to change her number.

I agree with JM.. if it's bothersome she can always change her number. Some phone companies even allow you to block a number too.. if changing it is too inconvenient.

Anyway... If she is not responding, sooner or later he will get the hint and back off.. unless he is a guy with a mental health issue whose mental condition causes him to be a stalker.

And Quite honestly if he is sending harassing phone messages, she can always file a police report.

Phone harassment is a federal crime.. whether its through land line or cell phone.

Anyway... good luck to you.

Notice the text did say he want's her back. So it sounds like she is telling the truth. And if she is spending most of her time with you, that says alot. Try to believe her and trust her. If she should happen to be lying that will become more and more apparent as time goes on. I wouldn't worry about it though.
