Getting over
Just looking for some advice on a certain subject that seems to be hindering the growth of a relationship I am in. A little background first, I have been dating this woman for about 5 months, it has been a truly wonderful experience as we seem to connect on many levels and just have that "it" factor. It had even progressed to both her and I openly discussing the possibility of marriage. We are both divorced and have tried not to throw that term around without much thought.
Recently( 2 weeks ago), she told me she thought she was still dealing with some feelings for a guy she dated a year ago. Now, at the beginning of our relationship she told this man that she could no longer have a close friendship with him as it might make me feel uncomfortable( which I was very thankful for), still, this has thrown me for a loop as it makes me wonder if this issue has been there the whole time and I just didn't see it.
My girlfriend doesn't think it's that big of a worry but when I bring it up she seems to get upset and even seem to have regrets about them not making it. We are both now going through a tough spot as I have kind of put up my defenses and she is reacting to my distance. If anyone can give me some feedback I would really appreciate it.
