Is having any sort of contact with an ex a deal-breaker?

I've got a girlfriend who gets really pissed about one of my exes.





This ex is someone I haven't seen in 2 1/2 years, and someone I hadn't slept with in almost 2 years before I met my girlfriend. But I still email her every couple of months. And what set my girlfriend off most recently was when I posted some pics of my ex on my web page. Thing is, they weren't by themselves, it was among hundreds of photos of all my friends from around that time. (But try explaining that to her.)





My girlfriend fervently believes that it is impossible to be friends with someone you've had sex with. I disagree, as I have two such friends with no overpowering desire to change the situation.





Now...I know I'm not wrong. I know how I feel, and I know she's wrong in assuming I feel any other way.





What I'm wondering is, is her attitude completely off-the-wall nuts? Would you be inconsolably angry that your significant other had any sort of contact with an ex?Is having any sort of contact with an ex a deal-breaker?
I totally agree with sunny as you just need to not be friends with your ex if it's making her uncomfortable whether or not you are right. I think that if you really care about your girlfriend to cut all ties with your previous relationship. Have a great day!Is having any sort of contact with an ex a deal-breaker?
The point here is that she feels uncomfortable so you have to choose if it's more important for you to be friends with your ex or if it's more important for you to continue your relationship with your girlfriend. Only you can decide, and it seems like you have to choose. Whether or not you think you are right or if this is fair I'm going to tell you as someone with a lot of experience knowing women, she's not going to let it go.
