    My ex BF excuse was he didn't have any other friends except his exes. He also said everyone in his life meant the same to him, so I didn't have any priority over them. One of them years later had a fling with him while he was still married. Another had an ex that needed saving ALL THE TIME. On flip side I had an ex contact me again and we together again and he left his wife so I can safely say IF THEY STILL TALKING TO EXES IT LIKELY NOT GOING TO END WELL FOR YOU!

    I got in a relationship with a guy and he called it off after he was the one who made it official. He stated he wasn't truly over his ex. I respected it but he tried to keep me on the side for when she expressed she was truly over him. He's caused issues between us and runs and tells her everything after wanting to continue in a relationship with me. He threw a tantrum and deleted her off social media when I explained since there were no boundaries I'd remove myself. Now he's added her back and they indirectly make fun of me together and flirt. He claims I'm overreacting but trust me I'm far done with he and his ex. She can have em.

    I also have a similar situation, and I am in a dilemma as to what to do... I found out that my husband keeps in touch with his ex through text and when I confronted him he told me that they are just friends. Although I found it weird that he did not tell me about it, I said it was ok as long they are just friends.. but there was another instance where he told another friend that he drinks so that he could miss her sometimes, this changed something in me and now I wonder if I should have told him that I am uncomfortable with him talking to her. :(

But if they mention they still have feelings for me i ignore them. One ex texted me tht he is coming bck from overseas and i said cool, hope you get here safely. And then he said he hope to see me. I replied "out of respect and love for my bf it is best we dnt" end of convo. Can someone tell me i did something wrong? Did i entertain him? Coz my bf (now ex) said i entertained him.

    My situation is kind of difficult. My boyfriend and I got together after he got divorced. His ex is horrible. They got divorced, She cheated on him, got married to that guy and is pregnant now. But my boyfriend would...run to her when she would have an issue in her new relationship and I found him to be more interested in what was happening with them than with us. I started to watch these videos about retroactive jealousy. But if I've explained his actions hurt me and he still talks to her and fawns over her....I don't think the problem is my retroactive jealousy. Right? It's his actions of choosing her over me. Not making me a priority or hearing my feelings how she uses him. They have kids together. And I would never step in between that, but I felt like every excuse was "It's for the kids" even though she knew our relationship business and I would hear all of her drama. I'm trying to look for some guidance. Is it I really have retroactive jealousy or is he not placing the correct boundaries and still in love with her? Please help.

    The guy im dating is currently on a 10 day holiday with his ex for his birthday. They have a key to eachothers houses, he drops everything to run errands and do diy jobs for her. She cooks food for him and has sleepovers, but 'she sleeps on the couch' of course 😒 He told me all of that with no hesitation. He talks about how great she is all the time.... i dont understand why they even split up. They dont even have any children together. I really like him and he seems to really like me. I cant find a video that relates to my extreme scenario. I feel like i fooling myself but he makes me feel like a fool for feeling this way. I need some advice.

      You're a rebound girl. He ended a relationship where he was in love, didn't give himself enough time, and his head is not in the new relationship with you. Almost guarantee you that when he has sex with you and closes his eyes, he pretends you're his ex and imagines his ex. I know this because I'm a guy and I've been in those shoes 4 years ago. I never did cheat nor communicate with my ex, but I also never had much "relationship energy" and effort to put into the new relationship, because fact is I was not over the previous and it took me about 1.5 years before my head had 100% moved on. I was the breaker of the original relationship btw, due to long term compatibility issues we had

He tried hooking up with me behind her back. So now I know what they were doing behind mine. He said she’s didn’t care if he hooked up with other female. I said that’s her …not me!
      It really hurt to walk away . I trusted him ! But I had to think of myself. I got back into fitnesses! I’m working on me. I don’t need a emotional unavailable guy bring me down.
