His Girlfriend Left To Go On A Trip To Dubai With Her Ex And He Wasn’t Invited

A 22-year-old man is dating his 25-year-old girlfriend, and they met in college about a year ago. They began as friends, and at the time his girlfriend was in a relationship with someone else.
Then, his girlfriend dumped her boyfriend in the middle of November to be with him, and things turned romantic
Surprisingly, his girlfriend’s ex was alright with being dumped because he just wanted her to be happy.
As soon as his girlfriend began dating him, she said that she really wanted to stay friends with her ex because he was very important to her.
He was jealous, but he tried to push those feelings away.
“Well, one night in mid-December we are at dinner, and her phone beeps,” he explained. “She got an e-mail. With a flight ticket to Dubai. From her ex-boyfriend… Who’s going with her.”
“A Christmas surprise, he said. I was speechless. Went to a bathroom, washed with cold water, and just looked to a mirror for a while.”
“Being a journalist, I have no shortage of insane stories in my life so I just laughed for a minute alone and went back.”
He did make it clear to his girlfriend that he was not thrilled about her going on a trip alone to Dubai with her ex, but he knew he can’t stop her from going.

He’s feeling like he definitely should have discussed boundaries with her more in hindsight.
He loves his girlfriend, and he trusts her, so he’s decided to not say any more about the trip she’s going on.
“So, time goes by and tomorrow she’s actually going,” he said. “Today, it hit me.”
“She’s going on a holiday to Dubai with her ex-boyfriend, now a very good friend, who she was with for several years and only broke up with him a month and a half ago. And he’s paying.”
He is very jealous about this, but he’s still trying hard not to say anything while he waits for her to come home on January 13th.
The problem is, he’s not sure if this is normal for his girlfriend to be on a trip like this with her ex, and he’s struggling.
