What to do?

I mean, I don't really have any real personal issues left to deal with. Other than needing a job that pays better. Yeah my mom means a lot to me. She's all I really got left so when she said she needed financial help I was all over it. And I took some of the advice and had a talk with my ex about some of this stuff. I'm pretty sure we are on the same page, we have no plans on ever dating again.

That's like saying that someone should leave MaiOtaku since karma doesn't like you having an account online rather than irl....but that'd imply having an account here is a personal issue, so that's just irrational. So yeah, I don't see any personal issues. You plan on saving some of that money for when your mother reaches financial stability so you can go live your own life? If you're absolutely certain that your girlfriend are on the same page and that neither of you have plans on dating again, then all you gotta do is mention and add this when you find another love interest. So you're pretty much set.

^same opinion as above.. I will be insecure if my gf is friends with her ex, and if they are besties now then all the more reason to go yandere on them. But once i am convinced that she loves me and she has no feelings for him(which takes a long time) then i eventually move on from her bestie ex and have no problems then on ^^ this exact thing happened with me in my previous relation ship >.> but that part went smoothly coz she was quite trustworthy (though we eventually broke up for other reasons lol).

All I have to say is resolve any personal issues that you have encountered from your past relationship and then tell the girl how you feel and also tell her that you are friends with an ex or something but if they tell you to choose between friends and your girlfriend then just tried to tell them flat out that you're not dating anybody else and you only care about them because you need to be honest with the person that you're going to date and nothing more nothing less because if you get caught up into a lie the word will be spread around that your woman hopping.

@Muffin Oh I get that 100%. But the thing about that is it shouldn't be that way. Romantic feelings end and just because you stop dating someone should never mean the end of the relationship(Depending on how it ended that is). For me us being best friends is simply that outcome of us having been friends prior. We talk and play videogames together. But she lives an hour away so we don't see each other that much. And if the roles where swapped and a girl I was dating was best friends with her ex, yeah, I'd be cool. I'd want to meet him. Hang out with him. Become friends with him. Insert myself not just into her life but his as well. Yes there's a chance there might still be something. But there is a chance there is feeling between them without them being friends or speaking. This is directed at everyone. Every relationship you have be it current or past is going to be with you even if that person is no longer in your life. So therefor the same is true for every person you date. Being insecure and trying to set rules and force another person to not be friends with someone or be afraid of possibilities that are chanced even without that factor is silly. Dating and relationships are a simple, yet hard to master things. I've even been put to the test in a long distance relationship where a girl at a con that was staying with me and my friends made an advance on me, and I had to sit her down and tell her that even though my girlfriend didn't live in stat at the time, she meant everything to me.(Actually, the girl out of state at the time was the same girl this thread is about XD) So in the end I'm taking my boy Growthers advice. I'll just keep looking till I find someone who feels the same way I do. Even though this thread probably shot my chances of finding anyone on this site, I'm cool with that. I think this thread has done me a lot of good for my mental state.
