My Boyfriend Won't Shut Up About Sex With His Ex

Q: My boyfriend is best friends with his ex; she’s even spent the night at his house from time to time. Recently, their conversations have shifted into a more sexual nature, including going into detail about their life as a couple. Honestly, I’m extremely uncomfortable with them being this close.

I’ve been imagining them together in my head and I’m struggling to think of anything else. It’s consuming me. I already struggle with the fact he’s been with others and it eats at me, but to have someone explain what they did in such vivid detail has turned my issues up to 100. I don’t know how to proceed with anything. It’s even affecting our sex life because I start to think about it and just break down. What can I do?
