Dear Steve,
I've been dating my boyfriend for about five months. We met through a mutual friend while I was still dating my ex, and we got together after the breakup. That friend – who still keeps in touch with my ex – recently had my boyfriend hang out with his group of friends, and my ex was there.
My boyfriend knows that this particular guy is my ex and he's not a fan, but now he hangs out with the group of friends a lot even though my ex will be there. Is it wrong for me to get mad? I want him to have his own friends and all, but I don't feel comfortable that my boyfriend is hanging out with this ex and poking through my past. I haven't told my boyfriend how I feel because I'm worried I'm making a big deal out of nothing.
Signed
