My girlfriend broke up with her bf of 6 years after not being fully committed to the relationship for the last half of it. She met me, and we hit it off and have now been together for 6 months. She left her ex for me but apparently was no longer into her old bf for years and was together with him just for the comfort and consistency. Every now and then she has the urge to call him, and she has called him recently when I was sleeping because she needed someone to talk to and I didn’t pick up her phone call. After that call she told me she wouldn’t call him again. Now today, she told me she had the urge to call him but did not. How do I deal with this situation? I feel less valued because it seems like I am not enough for her due to the fact that she’s been having these urges to call her ex and talk to him for her comfort.
tl;dr my gf wanting to talk to my ex makes me feel like i am not good enough for her

bruh!!! 6 months!!!
find a new gf!!!
You’re almost 30. Stop dating college kids.
Red flags all over that my guy. She ain’t over her ex and is only a matter of time before they are back together. You’re just a rebound to work out her feelings. My two cents from experience
She is young and never had an adult relationship before you (since her “ex” was someone she met as a teenager.) Then, she jumped from him to you without really taking the time to learn and grow from the end of that relationship. Now, she is acting exactly how one might expect someone at that age to act, perhaps still holding on to the idealized thoughts of her first love.
Maybe date people that are closer to your age, have experienced real adult relationships and dont monkey branch from one relationship to the next.
