I tend to have insecurities and when my boyfriends always talk to an ex of his or just a female friend in general I start to feel akward and get upset. I think I cant let go of the past so it happens. Feedback is needed!

It can make a bit of an awkward situation when your partner is close to an ex. In your mind, you can never be sure how far they are willing to take their relationship. You can often wonder if they will try to rekindle what they once had or leave it all in the past.

I thought you bf is close with your ex. ha ha well actually i am lucky enough that my bf thinks that being close or even always talking to an ex would rather be unusual. so we do not have such problems. he thinks too that it is not very right to still communicate with an ex since there should be no ties anymore, right? I think what you can do here, is to talk to your bf, ask him why he is still close and why he wants to still communicate with his ex? When he gives his reason try to think of it, if his reasons are valid enough... and then tell him how you feel about it. he should be open minded to understanding how this situation would always make you feel, and he cares about you as he says he is, then he should consider your feelings too.

Absolutely at least for me it would be. Define close, because I want my partner to be close to me and share his feelings and thoughts. I would be worried about my partner sharing feelings and close issues with his ex and not me. This would be troublesome for me.
