My best friend and I go way back; been playing video games and tabletop games with him online at least weekly for many years now; talking, joking, sharing dank memes, the whole bit. As we all do, he has his flaws, one of which is bad luck dealing with women through the years.
10 months ago, my ex broke up with me after a 7-year relationship. It was a relatively amicable breakup, but I decided to go no-contact with her to help me move on. I'm seeing someone else now, but still have (suppressed) feelings regarding my ex, as one might expect after so long a relationship.
I learned from my friend two days ago that he was still chatting with my ex. She had been acquaintances with him as well, playing video games and tabletop games with the two of us for several years of our relationship.
I asked him about it, and he assured me that they are just two friends chatting about shared interests, gaming and so forth. I made it fairly clear that I didn't care him talking to her, and he responded that I should work on getting over her.
Simply knowing they are in contact really gets under my skin, and brings it all up again: anger, jealousy, longing.
Wat do?

If you were with her for seven years and she became friends with him during that time, it's unreasonable of you to demand that he takes sides in the breakup.

This. Don't make other people responsible for your emotional hangups. I understand you're struggling with getting over it but thats your problem, not theirs.

Yup. Talk about it with someone maybe. Get your feelings out in the open and don't bottle them up.
>Easier said than done.
Acting like a rational adult being difficult is not an excuse to give up and act like a cunt.

Thank you for your well-thought-out and detailed response to my concerns. I can see you took your time considering all angles of the situation. This advice will be very helpful to me in the months to come.
Anyone else?
