Here's the deal. My current girlfriend of 3 months (who I completely adore) is having a lot of difficulty dealing with the fact that I am friends with my ex. The ex and I dated briefly 6 years ago, and had random run-ins over the next couple. We have since been friends, although before my new gf and I were together my ex told me she had feelings for me. I told her immediately that I was involved and that all we could be is friends. My new gf was around for the advance at me, and thus has a pretty negative view of my ex. She's even gone to the point about thinking about breaking up because it bothers her so much. I really don't want to lose her, but on the other hand I don't think I should have to give up friendship with my ex, when I have never cheated, and am completely honest about what is going on. How can I explain to the new gf that it's not as big of a deal as she is making it out to be. Her cornerstone of the arguement is that she called one night while in the area ( to find directions to a friends house), and recently when she got into a car accident. She says she is not "strong" enough to handle worrying about us... Any suggestions on how to alleviate this situation, while maintaining the sanity of all parties?
