I (24M) am in a relationship with my girlfriend (25F). Earlier this year, we had a terrible breakup after I called my ex. I know it was wrong, I was high, upset after a fight, and acted stupidly. I thought it didn’t matter since I was blocked by my ex, but the call went through and my girlfriend found out 10 days later. She felt betrayed, broke up with me, and all our trust collapsed. Right after, she went to a wedding where another guy saw her, got her number through someone, and started texting her. While I was begging for forgiveness and trying to fix things, she said she wanted to explore since I was her first relationship. She gave me one month to win her back while she also dated that new guy. During that month, she and the guy made out, and in arguments she even compared me to him saying how he was better, sweeter, “perfect.” Still, at the end of that month she chose me. But she made it clear she wouldn’t delete his contact, only stop talking to him. I agreed because at that time I just wanted to save the relationship, even though it hurt. Fast forward 7 months, we’re still together. We had another breakup and a short break in between, and during those breaks she spoke to him again. But whenever we’re together, she says she doesn’t talk to him. She has told me she loves me, has no feelings for him, and wouldn’t date him. Here’s the issue: he still thinks she’s single and keeps texting her. She told me she won’t block him because he’s distantly connected to her family (her cousin’s cousin). She said she’ll just ghost him. But I feel uneasy unless she directly tells him she’s in a relationship. AITA to ask her to do this? Or since I agreed to her exploring and keeping his contact back then, should I just live with it?
