    I would be jealous.

    Of course, I have trust issues and I'm just jealous in general.
    I dated a guy like that once....hung up on his ex, blah, blah, blah....I punched him in the nose while we were laying in bed and he texted her to tell her goodnight. That was the last I saw of him.

    Either tell him you mind him constantly talking about her, or start telling him about your own previous sexual exploits.

    Though my first thought when I saw the title of this was "not at all"

    Yeah, have you talked to him about it? Have you told him you don't want to hear about his sexy times?

    On one hand, if they broke up and are still talking there probably wasnt much heat between them in the first place.

    On the other hand, if he's telling you he might be trying to get you jealous, that is you are a lot better at hinding it than you think and he wants you to be more jealous.

    Maybe just like training a pet, slap him everytime he mentions it, get a bit of negative re-inforcement going ;)

    That's bull. Don't blow things out of proportion but definitely talk to him about it.

    He should def be allowed to be friends with his ex, but it sounds like he might be going a bit overboard.

    Are you friends with her as well? Do you feel inferior to her in anyway?

    Just be honest with yourself and with him.

    Without having seen what either of you look like, I'd be willing to bet he thinks you are just as hot or hotter than her.

    You better nip that in the bud right now.

    Let go of thinking you are irrational, because your reactions are completely normal and expected.

    You have nothing to be jealous of, and he needs to acknowledge his actions are pushing it. I wouldn't wait up for him.

    Dont you dare let that fucker guilt trip you. A dime a dozen, I promise.

    hmm

    were they broken up for a while before you and he got together?

    And how long have you two been together?

    I think the answers to these 2 questions will reveal a lot.

    You are allowed to be very jealous.
    You're also allowed to be mad.

    ah then yeah, just be honest with him. I don't think you have anything to worry about but I def don't think your jealousy is unwarranted. Ask him to kick it down a notch. Talk to her less... and never choose her over you in any way. That's crap.

    Its near impossible for anyone to self assess what there own ranking is.

    You've just been looking at yourself in the mirror way too much (not saying your vain, just over the last decade or so every morning etc)

    Ad to that, there is a huge chasm between What you think guys think is hot, and what guys actually think is hot. hell there is even a big gap between what differnt guys think is hot.

    In the end, he's with you and not her. Even if she is prettier, it can only be marginally. If he's a guy that can get her, and is now with you it stands to reason you are around the same ranking as her. even though it might not seem that way. Your just bored of your own face, you dont see it the way others see it

    Sure he can be friends with her, but I agree with some of the others in saying that he's overdoing it a bit. So yes, I think you're entitled to have some jealousy over the situation.

    You need to be honest with him, tell him how it makes you feel, and ask how HE would feel if the roles were reversed.
