G/F Gets pissed.?

I have a couple of x g/f's That I have remained friends with for many years now. They call from time to time to say hi and what not, and thats it. I'm an honest guy and I alway's tell my current g/f that they have called and she get's pissed off, and I get the cold shoulder for a couple of day's. I've been friends w/these girls long before she came along and don't know what to do.

I have explained to my g/f that they are just friends and they don't even call that often maybe once every six month's or so, but it doesn't help any, she still gets pissed.

Any ideas?

    Yes, stop telling! Clinton said, "Dont ask, Dont Tell". Now if she asks be honest (meaning that she is prepared to hear the truth!).

    But man stop doing it to yourself and your gf. And NO dont tell your exes to stop calling, they are you FRIENDS.

    You got to understand how she is feeling... (trust me that helps) He is feeling insecure... as if he might lose you... and as a shield for her emotions she is giving you the cold shoulder. All you got to so is Acknowledge her feelings for example:

    " babe look, I know that your kinda upset about my ex's giving me calls and stuff... and I understand how you feel.. if your ex's were to call you now and then.. I'd be upset too.. ( Here is the important part ) but you no more could stop them from doing something I don't like as i can't stop them from doing what they do. I know you trust me enough... I just want you to trust me when I say... its just a high and bye thing.. you know?"

    after that things might go well but actions speak louder than words. you have to affirm your words with some actions.. right... this is where its up to you.. you got to make her feel SPEACIAL... why? because she isn't feeling special because yo ex's still calling and your having conversations with her. Treat her out... call her more... hold her more.. in a masculine way so she feels safe...

    Things will Iron out... once you understand why girls are crazy... you'll realize how you can't live without them.

    P.S. the time you should worry... is when she doesn't give a damn about what you do.. Hate and Love are about the same.. takes the same concentration and emotion... when worse is complete and total Apathy.

    Depends on you and what you are willing to give up for this current GF. I was in a similar situation. I told my GF that Suzie and i were friends for a long time before she came along. I continued to hear from ex's .I never initiated the calls, mind you. My GF still got pissed, too. I just lived with it. I reasurred her through my actions that she was No. 1, that I wasn't interested in cheating, that I was with her and her only. She was so insecure that I couldn't do anything to alleviate her fears. She used to call pissed off at me for not calling if I was 15 minutes late from when I said I would call her. ANyway, I couldn't help her feel safe and secure, inspite of my best efforts. We eventually split up. Sorry.

    Is your current gf the Scary Lady who is possessive, demanding, controlling, insecure? Or is she just afraid she'll lose you to an old flame that never went out?

    Maybe change the way you tell her your former girlfriend called you. Is this conversation like "true confessions" or is it more like, "Suzy says that new movie is great, we should go see it." Try to keep the conversation toward the latter mood.

    Maybe have a party and invite your old girlfriends so your current one can meet them and see that there's nothing between you now. Then say something like, "You know, Suzy is a great person except she sets cats on fire and I just couldn't live with someone like that, could you?"

    Tell her to grow up or show her the door. My fiancee still gets along well with her ex - she's always been upfront about it and I've never cared. I trust her so there is no reason I should have a problem with it.

    If your g/f can't deal with it, she obviously has some major issues. You need to decide if the pair of you can work through those or whether you need to move on

    Laugh at her when she gets mad! LOL, my boyfriend has had many past g/f's call him about once a year or so, even his ex-wife! Actually, he called her, and I made him call her once to see how her daughter was, but I used to get mad, dang straight, at first! I realized though that he was just letting them keep in touch, and that they were no more to him than a nice person who had once befriended him, and he was not wanting a relationship with them. I think you should laugh at her because she will then know she is being silly. You're with her right, and not going out of your way to get a call or be with the ex's. This is kind of cute! She's jealous! That should make you laugh, and smile all by itself, she's addicted to you!

    I remember when my ex used to do that, except he kept it from me. Good thing you're keeping it open. What it sounds like to me is that she may be insecure and not like the fact that these girls are still in your life, even though you're with her. I have the problem with my boyfriend now, I can't talk to any of my guy friends without him getting a little jealous or worried I might leave him for one of them. She just might be concerned with that or you can always ask her if there are any guys she still talks to, it's the only logical thing to do right?

    1) it is way o.k. for a guy to have ladies that are friends... even if they are x's..

    2) it's also o.k. for a lady to have guys that are friends..

    The difference between o.k. and not is how you interact with them.. this means taking all of the possible infidelities into consideration, physical, emotional, spiritual, etc..

    3) If you are in a committed relationship with the current g/f then regardless of what's o.k. or not in the rule book.. she is certainly entitled to her feelings and you should do what you can to make these other relationships o.k. in her mind.. you must work together..

    On the other hand, if she's just a g/f then, it's her problem not yours...

    4) It's one thing to be up front and honest and another thing to be just plain dumb...

    - good luck.

    Seems like she's lacking some trust and confidence in you. If what you tell her is not enough than what is? If she continues to disbelieve you, it might be time to just let her go. Try talking to her about it and if she's willing to compromise and talk it out, maybe even bring out a few things that bug her about it than you two should be able to work this issue out!

    Best of luck!

    Source(s): My boyfirend and I had some similar issues although, his ex continually texted him and asked for him to go over late at night. It wasn't that I had a bad judge of charcter towards him and didn't trust him but it was the other girl I didn't trust. I was disappointed and all it took was a little communication to set things straight.

    I know I would feel hurt if you were to tell me that. So maybe you could just keep it to yourself. It's ok to have these friends, and it's ok that they call and you can have conversation and friendship. By your telling me they've called makes me feel insecure in your love. Being honest has nothing to do with it. It's understanding how the female feelings thing works. Hint Hint!

    I still talk to my ex's but only in passing. I don't call them and they don't call me. The only one I would even think of calling would be the one who knows a lot about computers and if I had a computer problem. Other than that only in passing as I said before. The reason for this is because my fiance is uncomfortable with it as well. But if his ex's called him I would be upset also. So my advice is to talk to them if you run into them because it is polite but do not have them calling you if it upsets your girlfriend.
