Rosie from Birmingham has a problem we never had, seeing as Olly’s childhood was short on flings and mine was short on family holidays. She says:
I have a very big dilemma: in a couple of weeks my family are going on holiday with another family. In this family there is this boy, who many years ago I had a fling with. I’ve now discovered that he is a complete jerk. My boyfriend knows that I had a fling with him and knows that we are going on holiday with him. He’s worried that I may have another fling with him, and maybe get together. I absolutely cannot stand him and have tried many times to tell my boyfriend this, yet he is still worried. So answer me this: how can I prove to my boyfriend that nothing will happen with this guy when it most certainly won’t?
1. Take your boyfriend with you on holiday; or 2. chastity belt. The latter doubles as a handy place to stow your foreign currency where pickpockets won’t find it. However you may need to pack some WD40 if swimming is on the cards.

You can try to convince your boyfriend but ultimately you can’t do anything to change his mind, either he chooses to trust you or he doesn’t. Tell your boyfriend it’s not going to happen because 1) you’re with him, and 2) ex is an asshole, go on holiday, come back state that no of course you didn’t have a fling because 1) you’re with him, and 2) ex is an asshole. Hopefully he trusts you more in the future. The end!

Dump your boyfriend if he’s that jealous and trusts you that little.
Then have a fling with someone else on the holiday, to remind your ex (the jerk) what he’s missing.
