I've been dating this girl for about 2 years now. When we started I had no idea that she was still living with her ex. We were together for two months, she moved out from her ex's place, and got her own place. Roughly 2 - 3 months in I learn that she is still sleeping with her ex, which was learned after she said she was falling for me. Sucked, but we never said we were exclusive. We talked and became exclusive. I never got over her sleeping with her ex though. It ate me up inside. She would see him every now and again for dinner to catch up. I asked her to stop, she didn't. Her ex eventually moved across the country and all my worries went away. Her and I became extremely close. We hit a rough spot for a bit where I thought I was moving away, so I broke up with her. She flew to see her ex and slept with him. We got back together a couple months later. We're supposed to be moving across the country in a bit so she gets closer to her family and I get back into college. Her ex is going to live 20 minutes away from us. They text back and forth, but it's just normal chat. 

I'm nervous, anxious, and angry. My girlfriend has stated that anytime she sees him I will be there, but I don't want to see him. Why would I want to see her ex? I don't even understand why she wants to see him. I have explicitly told her that he makes me uncomfortable, but she always comes back with, "We were together for three years, I want to know about his life."

I could continue rambling, but I just want someone to tell me something - anything - that sheds some light on this situation. I cannot stand her ex. I have some trust issues surrounding her and her ex. Now he's going to be only 20 minutes away. Our relationship is amazing in every other aspect other than this fucking ex-boyfriend thing. I feel like I am experiencing doublethink from 1984 - part of me loves and trusts my girlfriend, but the other resents and understands I should not trust her around her ex.

I hate my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. How have you dealt with your partner's ex in their life?
