my (18M) girlfriend (19F) was going to a wake this week, and I knew her ex-boyfriend and his family would be there. After talking about it, I told my girlfriend that it makes me uncomfortable how friendly she is with his family, considering how badly their relationship ended. specifically, my girlfriend and her ex-boyfriends mother can talk for hours as if they’re best friends. when i told her that this makes me uncomfortable, she brushed it off and told me she was just being respectful. She told me that there was no way she could avoid talking to his parents. however, i know for a fact that if the roles were reversed she would make a huge deal out of this situation. what should i do?
tl;dr girlfriend friends with ex-boyfriend’s mom

I feel like it depends on the way the family feels about the ex boyfriend and how he acted. I understand how you feel and your emotions are 100% valid asf. My best friend in the world is still in contact with her exs sister and mom. But it’s in a way that it’s all separated. Because she hasn’t talked to her ex in years. Not sure how to describe it but it works the way it works. I think knowing the context of the ex and his involvement in her life before they were together can be important.
