Emily was a pretty girl, but noone realy liked her.

Try to replace this regex:
\s+,
With this:
,
Another option you could do here is use a Negative Lookahead.
Find: \s+(?![^,]) Replace:
Regular expression:
\s+ whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times) (?! look ahead to see if there is not: [^,] any character except: ',' ) end of look-ahead
Or lookahead to see if there is not word characters.
Find: \s+(?!\w) Replace:
Regular expression:
\s+ whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times) (?! look ahead to see if there is not: \w word characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _) ) end of look-ahead
You could also use a Positive Lookahead here to look ahead to see if there is non-word characters.
Find: \s+(?=\W) Replace:
In addition to ProgramFox's answer, I would add this link, this may help you for further regex including this space:
