Inappropriate contact with an ex?
I have been with my boyfriend for nearly 7 months and we have made plans to move in together in 2 months. My boyfriend's birthday passed a few weeks ago. His most recent ex (they broke up 2 months before he started dating me - and he dumped her) sent him an email just after his birthday inviting him over to her place so that she could cook him a nice meal for his birthday and so she could show him her new place. He initially accepted the invitation and then asked me how I felt about it. I told him I was very umcomfortable with the situation, so they've changed plans so that they're going out somewhere instead. However she didn't seem to like that idea and insisted on knowing why he wouldn't come over (she is aware that he has a girlfriend). This really irritates me a lot, and I would much prefer if he didn't see this ex at all. He insists that she's a good person and he'd like to be friends with her (and he hopes that in time I'll be fine with her - which I won't be). Am I being unreasonable in feeling this way? How is this situation best handled? He assures me that he won't be seeing her more than a few times a year, but even this makes me uncomfortable. What is the right way to react to this?
