hahaha, wow.. some of you guys here are unbelievable.. you are very pessimistic and negative, I wouldn't be surprised if you guys talking all this sh!t are are single. The way in which you jump to conclusions about a woman / situation is pathetic at the very least.
Anyways, for those of you who have been supportive and given me constructive feedback, here is the update after I spoke with her about this issue:
I brought up the issue, the fact that it made me feel awkward, and the potential worries I had of them still speaking regularly while he still has feelings for her. She promptly told me that if it made me feel awkward that she would delete him and that I am the only guy that matters to her. We then went on to have an amazing night together, stayed up until 7am messing around and doing what couples do.
This morning before I dropped her off, in the car, I told her that she could still speak to him if she wanted to, because I know that she is in the right mindset and that she is 100% dedicated and committed to me. She then told me that she would prefer not to because she can't stand the thought of hurting me or me not being comfortable with it, and that she won't talk to him anymore and cut him out. We stayed in the car outside her house for a further 10 minutes with her clinging onto me and we just pretty much expressed to each other how much we mean to one another. Not even 5 minutes after I dropped her off I got a text from her saying that she loves me so much blah blah... so yeah.. I'm happy I got this issue off my chest with her, and am once again surprisingly impressed with her consideration and maturity about things.
Thanks again to 5string & others who were supportive of me and my predicament. I'll be sending wedding invitations in due course

(yes that was a joke... for now :rockon: )
To all you pessimists that replied to this thread - Trusting a woman 100% is sometimes the best thing you can ever do, even if it means risking getting your heart broken. If you do something and commit to something, then you do it 100%, and in the long run you will always stand out in her mind.
My reasoning for this mindset is as follows:
No normal guy is willing to trust 100% and give 100%, most guys are too busy looking at the rules and other bullsh!t... but in the bigger picture, even if you do end up getting dumped, when she experiences other guys, and then look back at how sincere and genuine and trusting you were, they will always know that they had the best guy and they let him go.. and a mature woman that knows better will acknowledge these qualities in a guy.
I was having a discussion with a friend the other day... he said that he would never let his gf go to a mutual friend's party with 2 other mutual guys friends if he wasn't with her because he wouldn't trust her enough.. and I said that I would be fine with it, because I do trust her 100%, and I know that I make her happy and I know what I have to offer, and I'm trusting that she knows and feels it too. If I am in this relationship, then I am in it 100%, which means I trust her 100%, so if she trusts herself to be able to be in that type of environment while being 100% faithful and loyal to me, then I trust her judgment. If she ends up being unfaithful then she'll be doing me a favor by not wasting any more of my time.
maybe I'm weird/unique in some aspects of how I perceive a relationship, and love, but I know a good woman when I see one, I have had plenty opportunities in the past to get into relationships with women who I simply shook off, I have been single for over 5 years now (by choice) but when I met this woman she fitted into what I was looking for in a woman perfectly. She's not a perfect human being, but she's perfect for what I look for in a woman, and in the bigger picture she makes me happy, satisfied, and fulfilled all at the same time.
I have confidence in myself as a partner, I know that I have a lot to offer, if what I have to offer does not accommodate the person she is and her own individual preferences, then she is free to go and do whatever she wants. Every day when she wakes up, she chooses to be with me, its not something I take for granted, and if she wakes up every day and chooses that I am the one she wants to be with and share her life with, then that tells me that I must be doing something right.. or perhaps a lot of things right, and visa versa.. change is a decision away, and we need to realize that yes, there are a lot of women out there that may use guys, cheat, have hidden agenda's, be deceiving, be two faced, be users, be selfish, self centered, egocentric, inconsiderate, etc... But then we also need to realize there are a lot of women who AREN'T all/any of those things. And that is what makes the diamond stand out from the worthless rocks & stones. I've been in the dating world and relationships world for over 12 years now, and I must admit some women have been able to disguise themselves as a diamond pretty well, in the start... but as time progresses the mask comes off gradually, until the real face is revealed.
I have known this woman for 3 and a half years now (though I only became really friendly with her about a year ago), but I have known the type of person she is, and everything about her has always been consistent and genuine, I have never ever caught her out on a lie, and she has always stayed true to herself and her beliefs. I am too very similar to her in so many ways, which is what played a big role in my initial attraction to her.

I do trust her 100%, but that does not change the fact that it didin't feel right that a guy that has strong feelings for my gf was still speaking to her regularly. But after speaking to her about it, and really putting some hard thought into it, I have come to realize, that realistically, she is 100% over him, and its just a matter of time until he finds himself another woman and move on. In the bigger picture, he will probably be happily married in 5..10..20 years from now.. and hopefully so will I.. I don't think that she would be able to feel so strongly about me and reflect that with her actions (not just say it) if she wasn't 100% committed to me... and hypothetically if she were to leave me for him then at least I did the right thing and gave it 100% of myself and my trust.
So far my way of handling things has worked pretty well for me, and not to blow my own whistle, but I have never been dumped in my life, I have always been the one doing the dumping because I came to a point where I felt like we were not on the same page, or that my ex's would be possessive/insecure/immature(immature was the most common one)/etc... its the worst feeling in the world knowing that you're breaking the heart of someone you still care about a lot on some level, but its better than wasting both our time on something that I know I have tried everything and still doesn't work/feel right/the same etc. The more experience i've had with women the more picky I would get with my expectations and what I look for and what I DON'T look for in a woman. it came to a point where my close friends were telling me that I was wishful thinking and that there isn't such a woman out there in this day & age.. I even started to believe them on some level and even considered (and was okay with) staying single/ bachelor for the rest of my life.. but then I met this lady, and until today she continues to surprise and impress me.
Its hard to express an intimate connection / relationship over a forum accurately, but I want you guys to all keep in mind that every single relationship is different, just like every single human being is their own different unique individual. In many cases some of the negative / pessimistic responses I got her might ring true, but in this case it simply isn't so, and believe it or not, she may just be "the one" for me... We will all get to a point in our lives where we will hopefully meet that "one" for us, some of us might find her at 25, some at 30, some at 40 or even older... but in my case maybe I have found her at this point in my life (being 28), and if its not, then its not... but it just might be...
