I have told my girlfriend not to see or talk to her ex-boyfriend or I'd break up with her for multiple reasons. (not forbid read the edit #2) I gave her that choice and she agreed to it she said that if she sees him again than she doesn't blame me for assuming the worst and breaking up with her. You people really need to see that I'm giving her a choice a CHOICE!!! C-H-I-O-C-E

1. Hes a total asshole and he still loves her
2. She cheated on me with him about 12 days in to our relationship but then told me a month later.

That took a lot in me not to break up with her for that. They only went to second base and she stopped after a minute and realized what she was doing. When they were together they were not even kidding sex addicts so I sort of saw it as old habits die hard and at the time me and her weren't talking because she was with her friends and etc. Either way with everything that was presented to me it was still a coin toss and i decided that I would miss her way too much and after awhile I would want her back so its better to work through the shit then just break up and get back together. Now this isn't a forum where I want people saying "Its not worth it dude just break up with her blah blah blah." cause I'm not breaking up with her. Her friend thinks I'm being overly controlling in not letting her see her ex (who i usually refer to in the very mature form of Douchey McGee.) She herself knows the whole situation. I say that shes my girlfriend and i still don't trust either of them together. My girlfriend has agreed to these terms and has for the past 2 months been faithful and less retarded. So tell me do you think I'm being controlling? Have any stories of some one cheating on you?

[Edit] alright when i put that i don't trust her that was sort of a lie its that i don't trust him to make a move because he is the one who did last time.
[Edit#2] I never officially said forbid i said to her "If you ever see him again than i am breaking up with you" The word forbid was never used i see that i made it seem like that but no not what i said sorry for the confusion. Its still her choice if she wants to see him than I don't want to see her. She has chosen me over him anyways. She doesn't even want to talk to him anymore.

[Edit #3] I told her that she can do what ever she wants if she wants to talk to him or see him or what ever she can and i wont break up with her as long she doesn't cheat on me. She responded with alright now ask me if i want to talk to him. so i asked and she just responded no i really dont. I dont want to talk to him I want to talk to you i want to forget about him. so happy ending for now.

Nah, you're not controlling, perfectly reasonable. But why are with a girl who is like that in the first place?

If you word it "Forbidden" then yeah, that's way to controlling. If you express that you don't really like the idea of them hanging out then I'm sure it'll be a lot better. You have every right to be angry and not want them to hang out, but she is her own person and at your age the loss of a friend might not be worth the loss of a boyfriend.

I'm just going to put this out here for you to think about.

A relationship is about trust. Without trust, you have absolutely nothing. Either you trust her or you don't.

If you trust her you won't have to forbid her from seeing anyone. And there you have your answer.

If you have to forbid her from seeing anyone at all, there is no trust, and there you have your answer.

You already know your answer.

OT: I will also say this, "forbidding" a woman anything, anything at all, is a good way of having it reach around and bite you in the butt. They are more apt to do something if you forbid them not to do something. Forbidding someone anything is a good way to finish nailing the lid to the relationship coffin.

I don't think you are being controlling, it is reasonable to tell her not to see her ex, but if she does get in contact with him anyway, then I'm sorry to say it, but you should leave her, for if she repeatedly does it, it is not fair to you or your heart at all

Dude, the question is not should you break up with her because she cheated on you. The question is should she break up with you for presuming to forbid her anything. And the answer is yes. What, is she a child and you're her daddy? Either respect her to make her own decisions or get a fucking plastic doll.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable request, her friends sound like idiots.

But yeah some other stuff about trust that someone worded better up there ^ ^

You have "forbidden" her?

You should tell her you rather she didn't see him if avoidable, not forbid it. The fact that you use that word makes you sound like a bit of a psycho.

I'll admit OP you nicer than I am. I would've told her to get steppin' if she had done that to me. But back OT...well "Forbidden" is a strong word but since I know where your coming from I'll say no.

Why, yes, yes you are.

Honestly, this sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. She's cheating and hanging out with E's, your forbidding stuff...

I predict hilarity (For us, not you) will occur soon.

Been through this before, if she thinks that her ex is more important than being with you it isn't worth it man. Sorry. And you're not controlling by placing limits on what you will and will not take from someone.

You GAVE her a choice?

Lord almighty, your hopeless. 'Giving' choices is no better than forbidding. In fact, its worse, because now if she sees him, she wont tell you about it.

And, for the record, you DID forbid her. You basically said 'I forbid you to see this guy while we are dating.' Giving her a choice to bail on you (Which, from what I'm reading, would have been an excellent choice, ex-boyfriend or not) or obey is not really generous, which you seem to think it is.

As for you 'trusting her, but not him...' are you seriously afraid he's going to RAPE/SEXUAL ASSAULT her, or are you afraid she's going to fall to his charms? If its the first, than you need to talk to the ex, not her. If its the second, than you really DON'T trust her.

Seriously, the hole you people sometimes dig yourself...
