How would you feel if your partner was panning to go on holiday with their ex?! Well, it's exactly the dilemma one woman is facing.
Taking to Reddit to ask for advice, the woman explained she didn't want to discuss the matter with family or friends, because it would make her partner "look bad".
Instead, she wanted some outside perspective after her boyfriend declared he was going on a road trip with his ex.
"So, my boyfriend [29M] and I [28F] have been dating almost two years, we're talking about moving in together over the summer. All in all, it's been a great relationship, we love each other deeply and are planning a future together," she explained.

"My boyfriend randomly started talking to a girl from his past a few months ago. I think she just reached out and wanted to catch up or something. From what my bf has said, they were nothing serious, essentially just f***buddies but they never dated exclusively.
"But they were involved for several months I think, I haven't gotten a ton of info on what their relationship was."
The woman then went on to explain that the ex asked her boyfriend to go on a road trip together, a 10-hour drive, to visit some of their old mates.

"So now they're actively planning this whole trip and I just...hate it? I'm feeling so jealous and overlooked, I've tried making him see my side of it and pointing out if I randomly reconnected with someone I used to sleep with casually and went on a cross-country road trip with them, you probably wouldn't love it. But he's always convincing me they were just friends and he just wants to see old friends," the woman continued.
"He's invited me since I've been uncomfortable with it, but the thing is I wasn't invited from the beginning, and I would feel awkward and like that clingy gf that has to watch her boyfriend if I came along now.
"I'm just really uncomfortable with him doing this, going on a super fun vacay with someone he used to f***, staying in motels on drive, staying with old friends, drinking by the ocean and doing fun local stuff, it just seems so romantic!! It's driving me crazy. What do you think of this situation, and what would you do or say?"
And other Redditers had some strong views, with one person writing: "Yeah. This is a no from me.

"The fact that he's going on a road trip with a girl he used to sleep with casually? And if she knows he has a gf, and still planned this whole out, is sus af. They're both weirdos for this.
"Set a boundary. If your bf still brushes you off and chooses a trip with this girl over his your feelings, that's when you know to run as far away from him as possible."
Meanwhile another added: "This would be a deal breaker for me. I don't know many people who would be okay with this, with or without an invitation.
"Don't play the cool girlfriend, set your boundaries straight and enforce them, if he doesn't like it, he can walk."
