Good day.
In your description of the situation, you mentioned that you have some concerns about what happened between your girlfriend and her ex. This may be influenced by various factors, including cultural expectations about relationships and the dynamics of your own relationship.
It is often helpful to consider that a person's feelings in a relationship are best understood in the context of that relationship, rather than in relation to past issues. Even if it seems that a person's concerns about a previous relationship are influencing their current feelings, it is possible that their current feelings are driven by a sense of insecurity in the current relationship.
Perhaps it would be helpful to consider the following: we were previously in a good relationship with someone. Now that we are aware of their past, we see that the person is still the same as when we first met, but our perception of the relationship has changed.
We can't ignore the fact that we know what's going on, and we can't change how we feel about it. It seems that the other person is no longer the person we expected. At this time, we are faced with a challenging situation.
It may be beneficial to consider ending the relationship, as the other person has many positive qualities and the issues that led to the breakdown of the relationship occurred in the past. It may not be productive to dwell on past events that cannot be changed.
If we don't break up, I may find it difficult to move on. This situation could become increasingly challenging to navigate.
It is important to remember that relationships are full of uncertainty. It is possible that someone who was once simple may become complicated in the future, and that a promise of eternal love may not last.
It's important to remember that relationships are inherently risky.
Perhaps it would be helpful to ask ourselves what we are looking for in a relationship. If we are looking for someone with a clean history, no romantic experience, and a pure body, it might be worth considering whether this is realistic.
It would be wise to find someone with no dark past. However, as I mentioned earlier, relationships are full of uncertainty. Not having a dark past only means that there was a past, and it's impossible to know what will happen to that person in the future, or whether your attitude will change. For example, there is also the uncertainty of whether there are other things about your partner that you cannot accept.
It's possible that what you once thought was simple and good may evolve into something else over time. This could be seen as a shift, rather than a loss of simplicity.
It may be the case that depending on the relationship's security on the premise of "whether the other person is someone who meets my expectations" is not sufficient insurance and is risky. It is important to remember that everyone is taking a risk.
I'm not in a position to advise you on what to do, given that I'm not aware of the specifics of your situation. From my perspective, if the current relationship is functioning well but you're struggling to move on from the past, I would suggest giving it some more time.
It is also possible that things may not work out in the end, even if you persevere. However, it is important to allow yourself some time to adjust to your partner and any underlying issues, to observe whether the issue diminishes and how it affects your relationship.
It's natural to care about the past because it often evokes feelings of worry. Initially, our concerns centered on the relationship between us. However, as time passed, our attention shifted to the actions of the other person, which led to a shift in focus from the relationship to the individual.
This worry can never be resolved, what has happened cannot be undone, and as long as it exists, the problem will remain unresolved. It might be helpful to admit your worries, as the uncertainty in the relationship makes it difficult to know whether it is worth continuing to trust.
It might be helpful to consider what you are really afraid of, your insecurities, and what your concerns really are. That risk has always been there, it is there now, and it was there before. Have you ever wondered why you weren't afraid before? It's possible that when you knew, there was uncertainty in your relationship.
It's understandable to feel uncertain about getting back to the way you used to with the other person. These are all things you and the other person can discuss. If you're open to it, you can go to the other person and talk about what you know, your worries, your struggles, and your concerns about trusting again. Ultimately, you'll have to decide what's best for you, even if it means taking a different path.
It might be helpful to consider that before making the most difficult decision, it could be beneficial to allow your partner to face these fears with you. This could help to avoid using your partner's history as a means of tormenting each other, with no one knowing what you're afraid of.
If we are at peace with our past and confident in our future, there is no cause for concern.
If you have some concerns, it might be helpful to take some time to reflect on what you're really feeling and why.
If you feel strongly about this, I would suggest telling the other person why and then breaking up. If you are still unsure, you might want to give yourself some time to get to know the other person and their past. You could set a deadline, for example, three months. If you still feel unable to move on, then breaking up might be the best option.
If you are able to do so, it may be helpful to let the past stay in the past and focus on the present and the future.
I am often both Buddhist and pessimistic, but I also try to be an occasionally positive and motivated counselor. I love the world and I love you.

This must be really challenging for you. It might be helpful to focus on building trust and understanding with your girlfriend, discussing what makes you uncomfortable.
Feeling this way is valid, but it might be worth reflecting on why it affects you so deeply. Perhaps together or with a counselor, exploring these feelings can lead to growth.
It seems like this issue is weighing heavily on your heart. Finding a way to communicate your feelings while also listening to her perspective might start to untangle this knot for you.
