    Why does it hurt your feelings for him to talk to her?

    I'm asking honestly because it doesn't bother me when my LTR talks to his exes. It shows that he respects and cares for the people he has a relationship with, as people and not just as someone he's currently sleeping with, and that should we (heck forbid) ever seperate we will still be in touch with each other. He still talks to his last girlfriend because he loved her family (actually more than he loved her, in retrospect) and wants to know how they're doing. They also shared a dog that she takes care of, and he inquires about the dog as well.

    As long as he is open with you about the communication and it's really just talking, not flirting or secretly meeting or something, there's really nothing to worry about. It's true that he should respect your feelings, but only so long as they're reasonable. It's just not possible to be someone's "one and only" - they will always have friends, family, and a past that's seperate from you. If you can't handle that, you're just not ready for a relationship.
