At Chai Latte Diaries, I am asked how to manage a woman whose resentful of her new piece’s ex, but not for the reasons one might imagine: A suspicious heart is a heart in need of purification. While your friend is up in arms and resentment, she also needs to do some self-reflection on why she has these troubling feelings of insecurity. From the minimal information you have provided that “he never mentions his ex and is very loyal,” there doesn’t seem to be any reason for this suspicion. In this instance, the problem does not appear to be with his behaviour (i.e. he is texting his ex regularly and is still attending family dinners every Sunday with her brother-in-law). Rather, the problem appears to be with your BFF’s chosen perspective.
