Hey Forum, Hopefully this is in the proper section, I have looked for about thirty minutes and can't find a topic on this. (I am sure some one has run into this before). Anyways..

Today My girlfriend of 4 months came over to my houses for lunch today to bring me some tea/soup (due to being sick). She was about half an hour late and the first thing she said was when she came into my room that her ex boy friend called her.
Side note: she is 23 and her ex is 37... I am 21
She apologized she took so long due to her having a 20 minute long conversation out front of my house... (this may just be a jealousy thing, But I am looking for a way how to handle the ex boyfriend when she brings him up).. She started dancing around the subject saying that they talked about "stuff" and that she didn't want to tell me what it was about because I wouldn't want to hear about it. I jokingly said I would slit his throat (in a playful tone) and told her that he better not come near her. She said that he was coming into town, paused (assuming she was waiting for my reaction) then said "just kidding"

So my question is: should I pretend not to give a fuck and not worry (yes I trust her) or should I look like an alpha and ban her from talking to the ex and tell her I will break up with her if she continues to talk to him..

Any advice? or links to a previous situation would be greatly appreciated.

personally it comes down to morals and if you really want the shit,i went through this a while back,long story short lost the girl and she runs to me for comfort which i give her because i feel sorry for her and being one of the few guys she can trust,honestly its noob but i don't mind because having her on my facebook is what i consider good fire.

good fire is a term me ad my brother came up with for a girl who wants you but you put her in her place,the attention she gives me grants me social validation as well as the status of a caring guy.

however if i could take the whole situation back i would of left her right then and there if i had know all the shit it would of caused,it's not worth wasting your time with a relationship if your not serious,your a pua you can get any girl if you have confidence so its up to you however i didn't stop her and i lost the girl to the guy who used and abused her.

it's not worth your effort and time to baby sit your girlfriend if she doesn't listen leave her,she'll have her fling and in the end realise why she left him or why they broke up,resulting in free sex for you one last time before you throw her to the curve(what i would do know) i mean my ex is not over me if she's asking me to phone her on the birthday for what i dono,she starts the convos not me(on bbm) and seeks my validation for dating a new guy,once again dono why but she does.

play around have fun with her if you dump her,i got my ex to send me naughty videos and took a few myself but in the end she's buying me gifts and commenting on my status while her boyfriend is worrying about what i'll do when i'm back in town.

reverse the roles my friend,cat and string theory

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate your help and your input. That being said, I am interested in keeping her as my girlfriend for the time being (external reasons such as she lives really close and drives me round everywhere, cute and fun to hang with and not to mention free sex) and want to keep her until I get a car and my own place. Should I intercept their (hers and the ex) communication if it continues? or should I brush it off like I don't care?

First off, banning her from doing shit isn't alpha. Second, if you don't trust her, don't date her. Don't date a girl just for sex and convenience. It's a savage hypocrisy to criticize girls for how they behave in relationships and then to do something like that.
