My wife and I have been happily married now for over 4 months. My only concern is her ex-boyfriend. She dated him on and off for about four years. He dumped her twice, the third time permanantly. She has a problem with "letting go". I feel myself becoming jealous over the mention of his name. I'm a successful, attractive, secure man with a fantastic future. He smokes marijuana constantly and was an emotional drain on her, but she kept going back to him. She called him on his birthday to wish him a happy one, and I just found out about it. She said she forgot to tell me because it was no big deal, but I feel there's more to it. She is 3 months pregnant with our first child. What should I do? I was upset with her for not telling me. Is this low self-esteem on my part, or am I justified? How can I resolve this problem?

Kauai, <br>I have had the same feelings with my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. It takes awhile to let go of those feelings, and I truly believe that it is necessary to close off all contact with exes like that, especially if a lot has been shared. Ex boyfriends, ex affairs, ex girlfriends...these are completely different than ex apouses. If contact is not stopped, there is much pain in store for the couple. Email me if you'd like to talk about it: earthmother@fuse.net

Is that Kauai that posted this??? Every other message you post consists of berating everyone who posted before. Now you come here with a problem? Interesting...
