Ok to feel like this?

ok basically my boyfriend just text me saying a girlfriend from his past wants to meet up for a chat later.

I do trust him, but i do not trust her. I let him get in touch with her once before, and they met up for a chat and even went out for a day out, taking our daughter with them and leaving me at home. Sure enough i found texts from her saying she wanted him back etc etc, when she came round again i literally chased her off.

I know its fine to have friends of the opposite sex, i have a couple of male friends, but my boyfriend is also friends with them, and he knows they arent my type, whereas ive never met this girl, shes pretty, slim, has a good job, pretty much everything i dont feel right now being 6 months pregnant.

Ive said he can meet her on the basis that as soon as theres any sign of funny business from either of them there will be hell to pay.

I want to be fair and allow him the chance to have more friends, but it just feels like a constant kick in the guts.

Am i wise in allowing them to meet?

Update:

thanks guys some very nice answers for a change rather then the usual rant. Ive text him giving him my view on it, so we'll see how sensitive he is lol

    Of course it's completely ok to feel like that. Natural, normal - the majority of women in your situation would feel exactly the same way - especially considering your current condition. Even if your boyfriend is trustworthy and has no dishonest intentions, the timing is still inconsiderate and insensitive. You're exceptionally vulnerable right now, and everything you're feeling; all your insecurities and fears, are only going to be heightened with pregnancy. But don't allow those insecurities to swallow you up. She is NOT better than you, in any shape or form. They split for a reason. He's with you now, and you're having his child. You trust him, so trust that it's you he wants to be with. I don't think you can stop him meeting her - in fact, trying to control who he can and can't see, would more than likely cause him to go against you. But I would definitely sit down and have an honest, open chat about how all this makes you feel. You trust him, so if it's just the pregnancy hormones increasing your paranoia, maybe make a compromise and suggest she see him when the pregnancy is over - when your hormones are back to normal and you're not feeling so emotionally vulnerable. But if you don't want him meeting her at all, especially if she's not to be trusted, then that's fair enough too. He should understand - you're having his child, his loyalty lies with you, and if you're not happy with it, he should put you first. You and his child are his priority. If this is something that's likely to stress you out and upset you even further, then that could be affecting the baby, and none of you want that.

    No, you are not wise for allowing him to go out gallivanting while you are pregnant (or any other time). Put your foot down and say no. He is being unreasonable. Also, it's not really OK to have good friends of the opposite sex. This can only lead to trouble. This of course depends on type of friendship. I'm friendly with my mates wife, and the lady next door. That is fine, but I would never go out for a drink with them (just the two of us) or go to the cinema etc. It would always be in a group. In my opinion a boy and a girl going out alone, only means one thing, attraction. Bad news if one of them isn't single.

    Look, I think it depends on whether there's been this kind of trouble in the past. Has he ever been unfaithful?

    Not sure why he'd want to meet up with an old flame, ESPECIALLY when you're 6 months pregnant. Just seems a bit weird. However, I don't want to unduly stress you out, its very possible he just wants to catch-up and he told you she was an ex-girlfriend as a show of his honesty.

    I wouldn't be to happy about it. If I were you, I would've told him he could go, but would've questioned his decision to leave me at home carrying our child whilst he went out with an ex-girlfriend.

    GOod luck

    I don't know about wise but you're certainly very reasonable and understanding. You really should talk to him about how this makes you feel; if he had any sensitivity he'd see that for himself, but he's a man so we'd better give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he genuinely thinks this is o.k.!

    i think what you have to look at is what happened the first time round.

    was he texting back encouraging things when she said she wanted him back. if the answer is no, then you have nothing to worry about as its you he wants. if he was texting back and making it sound like he was thinking about it then maybe you need to sit down with him and tell him your not comfortable with the hole thing.

    hope it all works out hun, hope the bump is doing well.

    I think you are wise for being cautious but not over-reacting. I think you would be wiser to sit him down and tell him exactly how you feel about it. Your feelings are quite reasonable.
