I know what your thinking. This guy's a controlling/jealous douchebag, let her do what she wants. But hear me out first.
My girlfriend is a nice person, it's tough for her to stop texting people and when you combine that with the fact that she dosen't have many friends (Military family, introvert, gamer), it leads to her keeping in contact with her ex's and guys who "Like" her. She gets on platforms like reddit and discord to talk a lot, so it's just her instinct to text back and forth but I feel like she's wasting time texting these guys who are in her past and won't contribute to her life.
As for jealousy, she tells me she loves me all the time and she never hangs out with them so it's not a HUGE deal. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit jealous, just attention wise from her. It started early on when we were dating, idk if its a bad sign, but she would talk about "Oh my friend ___" this and that and they'll all be guys. I tried turning a blind eye towards it but it's starting to wear me down. I even saw a selfie of one of her ex's that he sent to her on her phone when she was uploading a picture one day, is that weird? I've never dated an introverted gamer type girl so I feel conflicted.
I've asked her before to stop talking to one of the guys explaining it. She seemed fine with it but she replies that she can't cut him off completely since she's known him for 5 years? That's not even that long lol. I asked her again after a few weeks and she says they are "acquaintances."
I just feel like this situation is weird since when I got serious with her, I stopped talking to potential dating partners and focused more of my time on her. At the end of the day, this all boils down to a bit of jealousy (attention wise) and the fact that she could be using that time texting them towards something else or even just female friends lol. Am I in the wrong for feeling like this? If not, how should I tell her?
