Girlfriend calls out boyfriend for continue to share his Netflix with ex-girlfriend, sees it as a sign that he hasn't moved on

Is sharing your Netflix password with an ex a sign that you're not over them?

In this day and age, we could all benefit from a little resource-sharing. It's tough out there, and the more we can do for each other, the better. If that means sharing access to streaming services, then so be it. It's a victimless crime. We've all done it. It's an easy way to make life a little easier for everyone involved. It's a condition of modern life, and one that most of us have gotten used to embracing. But what if it's also a way that you stay attached to people whom you perhaps shouldn't? We've all done that at one time or another- used a certain thing to stay attached to someone. Maybe you keep their sweater, half-hoping that they'll come back for it one day. We all have our ways of staying connected. Some of this is harmless, but some of it can be damaging, especially to our current relationships. If we're stirring up jealousy in our relationships, it's probably time to interrogate why and what we can do about it. That's what was happening in this situation, where a woman in a relationship started to get jealous of her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. She thought that he was trying to stay attached to her through their shared Netflix, but he saw it as a happenstance. But you have to take your partner's feelings seriously, and that's exactly what he tried to do.

But commenters weren't sure whether or not her jealousy was coming from a valid place. Just because our feelings are valid doesn't mean that our worst fears need to be indulged. Sometimes we need to be put in our place and told that we're being crazy. In kinder terms, of course, but it stands. That's what was happening here, in the eyes of some. It's tough to know whether or not your jealousy is justified, and in this case, it was hard to define. Keep reading to see what you think about it.
Commenters gave their takes on the situation.
