FR While I don't think that the other posters are wrong in their assessment of your situation OP, I wanted to give a different perspective. I've stayed friends, or at least aquaintances, with most if not all of my exes. My best friend is an ex, and we text multiple times a week, get together once a week (if we're lucky) to work out at the gym, and do other things together like shooting, gaming, etc. There is absolutely nothing romantic going on there, nor will there ever be. I felt that the friendship we developed during our relationship was worth the effort to salvage after the breakup. Talking to an ex, even to clear up any resentment or anger, isn't always a bad thing. If there are intersecting aspects of their lives, where they will be forced to interact with each other in the future, having it out and working through things could be very productive and mature (or, never date within your own industry. It's really not that big). So, if someone I was seeing insisted that I cease contact with my exes, I'd show him the door. I wouldn't berate him though, or call him paranoid. I'd first try to get him to understand the situation I'm facing. I'd also not ignore one for the other. My current partner would know that they still come first to me. I don't think that's the case here though. It sounds like, as Oside said, she doesn't have clear firm boundaries in her own mind, and she will likely cave into the wooing of her ex. Doubly so if he's physically there, and you're so far away. Not everyone is good at ignoring the tingly bits. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Perhaps there is a lesson to learn from it all? ETA: finished a sentence.
