Ex still in contact with my GF

I have been with my partner for just over a year. When we first met and started talking we would always ask about eachothers day and what we would be up to. Early on, she stated that she was going to watch a friend play football, which was about 4 hours away from where she lived. I didn’t think nothing of it, as my feelings at the time were not that deep. Anyway, a couple of months down the line it turned out that it was one of her ex’s that she was friendly with. I, of course was not happy with this as I’m not a huge believer in exes being friends, especially if they have no ties together (E.g children). They would message on Snapchat and as we all know, messages on Snapchat delete themselves, which triggered alarm bells In my head. To her credit, she blocked him after I voiced my concerns and said that she needed to do this (I realise now, I shouldn’t have to do this), however, he has a tendancy of calling her every so often and even after her blocking his number, she will receive calls from other numbers turning out to be him and she says she ignored these calls until a few nights back when she answered thinking it was me on a private number. He has found out about a bereavement in the family & asked if we were still together. When I confronted my partner to why she continued a conversation with him & how did he find out about the bereavement, she said that he has her mum and sister on FB, to which I’ve now found out that he does not have a Facebook account. Now my partner came forward with this info off her own back, however, I’m unsure if she is lying to me and is still in contact with him, but is trying to put me off the scent? Opinions welcome! Thank you for reading

You either trust her or you don’t. And if you don’t the relationship is doomed.

I wouldn’t accept my DH trying to control who I was friends with. You sound very unreasonable.

Or maybe she just finds your attitude a bit tedious.

12 months in and you have a running narrative of mistrust and control. Jealousy isn't an attractive trait. Men and women do this.
Leave and find someone more suited to your value system.

She should leave you.
