    I'm going out with a guy who I really like. Now, the thing is... his last girlfriend had to go home to another country, after they were together about 4 months. The relationship ended because of the whole long distance thing. Basically, there was no 'dumping' involved. They still email each other. He left his email open one day. Before I closed, it, I just saw that the girl had sent him 2 emails in the last few weeks. I should have just covered the screen or something+ not have looked at who any of the emails were from etc. + I didn't go into any of them or anything, as I trust him. I just saw a couple of the senders names/ title of the emails.
    .I mean.. should I be worried!??? I can't ask him about it, as it would come across as me being jealous or something+ I wouldn't want him to think that... as it's not an attractive trait...

    Has anyone been in his situation, where one partner leaves+ you stay in contact with them through email, even when you have moved on...like is it possible to email someone+ still be over them, or would you be always dwelling on that past relationship that had to end because of distance ? Thanks

    I broke up with my ex five years ago in order to travel. I am constantly in contact with my ex and it took ages for his girlfriend after me to accept that. In the beginning he had to hide the fact that we were in contact because she got so jealous but she gradually learned to accept our friendship. 4.5 years later they're still happily in love and engaged and I'm delighted for them. In fact I keep in contact with a number of my ex's. Just because we didn't work out as a couple doesn't mean that we're not compatible as friends. Either you trust your boyfriend or you don't.

    Eh maybe they are still friends and keeping in contact with each other which is no harm. Who ended their relationship? I assume it was something mutual?

    About it being mutual, well she had to go home as she was only here on an erasmus exchange. Before they went out, they knew she had to go home. Perhaps he didn't allow himself completely fall for her, as he knew she was leaving.. hmm... ah well.. it doesn't matter. Sometimes it's easy to overthink things etc. I'll just chill out about everything+ not worry. Thanks.'
