Open wounds

I was with someone about 7 years ago, we’d break up a lot and I’d consider our relationship emotionally abusive at a minimum. I’m in a much healthier and happier relationship now but I find myself really struggling this week and I’ll explain why. The person I’m engaged to grew up with my ex, both of their parents houses are very close to each other. Every time I go to my future in laws house I see my ex’s house, sometimes I even see my ex’s family because they’re friends with my future in laws, I hear more about my ex’s life than I want to because my future in laws still know my ex, and there’s even pictures of my ex in my future in laws house.

My ex has tried to get in contact with my fiancé more than once, this most recent time I told them it was okay if they were friends on social media, I thought it was to rekindle a relationship or make amends because they haven’t spoken in years. My ex hasn’t said anything to my fiancé. I just feel like my ex is watching my every move and keeping tabs on me, their family knows what I’m doing, my ex adding my fiancé on social media, my ex’s family (minus my ex) is coming to my wedding. I feel like I’m going crazy and everyone keeps telling me I’m overthinking it and it’s not that big of a deal but it weighs so much on me
