Dear Penny,
The guy I’m dating is still friends with his ex girlfriend; he told me once that they’re just friends and nothing is going on between them. Every single time I see them hanging out they are always talking, having a good time, laughing, and even hugging. I know that I am the jealous type of person and read way more into things than I should but should I believe what my boyfriend is telling me and just let them be friends? Or should I dump him because of what I believe?

Dear Ex Girlfriend hater,
We think that you should talk to your boyfriend. Tell him how you’ve been feeling because he probably doesn’t exactly know how you feel. If he tells you that there is still something between them, then maybe you should let him go so that he can find out what that something is. If he tells you that nothing is going on, and feelings between him and his ex are strictly friend related, then you have nothing to be jealous about. Odds are that him and his ex girlfriend were better at being friends than boyfriend/girlfriend and decided to stay at that. Just remember things aren’t always what they seem.
XOXO Penny
