Girlfriend is orbiting ex

Well this is a new thing.

my girlfriend and I love each other we are both 37. And we’re very happy but I recently learned that she is sharing reels in the background with her ex fiancé. It was years ago but it’s troublesome as it’s something secret and in the shadows.

I learned about it as I saw the username pop up and this was also a “cute” name given to him by her as you can personalise usernames in chat.

I’m perplexed by it as it means there is still constant dialog and interaction.

should I be worried?

thanks.

It was years ago? Think it's about time you got over it, especially as she's done sod all wrong

Or maybe she should 🤷‍♀️

This is an it could be everything, or it could be nothing situation.

My partner and ex share reels, but they were ten years ago, haven't seen each other since, and I've had the sneaky over-the-shoulder peek, and it's nothing.

Conversely, it could be that they share reels AND secret messages, and there are feelings still there.

You simply don't know.

(But from your description, 'just' reels, I think you're fine)

She was the moon and the ex was the earth 😂
