Words my girlfriend said about her ex

So my girlfriend told me she hoped I wouldnt find the fact that she had a connection with her ex husband (the father of her kids) a threat becaue she feels sometimes I feel jealous over him. Eh......not really sure what to say to that. Ive been pretty cool and open minded and laid back about him being the kids' father and never made it an issue. But I am sometimes uncomfortable with him being at her place to watch his kids and bring her dinner and groceries and him calling every night. They also seem to talk about things that do not pertain to the kids when I am not there, like personal stuff.  Not sure what those words mean but I didnt have much to say to that. I've never been the possesive jealous type but now Im starting to wonder if I should worry.

They're still in a relationship just not married anymore. I'd gracefully bow out and remove myself as the third wheel.

Sounds like she’s either trying to make you jealous or she is clueless that she completely lacks any sort of boundaries with her ex, including emotional ones. Do not marry this woman. Explore your options.

Why be #2 when you can be #1 to someone (else)? 

Dude, find someone who isn’t still enmeshed with their ex. The fact that she points out she “had a connection with her ex,” and hopes you don’t feel “threatened” by that speaks volumes. VOLUMES.

... and what everyone else said already. She's literally warned you already.

I would not be too thrilled if my other half was talking to his ex every night!! Why? What for? If she is dating you then what purpose does she have talking to another man every single night? Especially if it isn't about the kids. The only man she should be talking to that much is YOU! Coming from a woman, something isn't right! If she was completely done with this guy, she would be DONE! And he would know it. He is continuing to do these things for her cause she is allowing it which is completely disrespectful towards you! Nuh uh...I would get out of this situation if I was you!

Clearly she wants him back.  Your role could be to make him jealous so he comes back.  Even if this is not the case, you are the third person in this relationship.  End it now.
