Have a boyfriend that's still friends with his ex? Green eyed monster got you by the horns? Here are some helpful hints on how to deal.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If your like me, you've searched the net looking for a way to deal with the fact your boyfriend is still friends with his ex (or in my case, EXES). It's not easy. But it can be done! The first step is to realize that not everyone stops being friends with their ex just because they broke up.

  2. Step 2

    The second step...make sure you have a life of your own. Mostly for myself, when I feel jealous or insecure, it's not him...it's, ugh...me! To feel better about yourself, get moving!! Join a gym. Nothing feels better (ok, almost nothing) then shakin your money maker baby! Get that booty movin'! Your skin will glow, you'll look great, and your endorphins will shoot through the roof. And there is lots of yummy eye candy at the gym.

  3. Step 3

    Keep your male friends! It's true, what's good for the goose is even better for the gander. Having male friends is fun! They give you a different perspective, stroke your ego in the right way, and if your boyfriend has a problem with it, tough titty. If he acts upset that's because he's used to having you all to himself. He needs to know that you, my dear, are a catch, and he is not the only show in town.

Tips & Warnings
  • Get a life! Keep growing. Learn new things. If you feel like your boyfriend is loosing interest, stop worrying and chasing him. Men turn around quickly when your attentions are no longer available. You'll also be surprised your jealousy starts to fade because you are too busy to care. And you may also notice that the ex who was always around, the girl whose "just a friend" isn't around as much. Why? Because now he's afraid of losing you, and men are competitive creatures.
  • Remember, relationships are built on trust. Trust your boyfriend. Above all, don't resent him for wanting to maintain relationships from his past. Your his future and his now. Nothing is more appealing to a person than feeling trusted and loved and being able to share your past with your present. Good luck!
