My ex's best friend is getting on my nerves, how can I handle this?

Question - (28 January 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 28 January 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I split with my boyfriend early December last year after a few weeks together, I've seen him, but not spoken to him since. I never had sex with him as I was not ready.

Anyway, I always see his mate marc down the pub, and when ever I go there and play pool, Marc gets on the phone to my ex and talks really loudly to him about things my ex has done, like going out last weekend and sleeping with this girl he met.(like i care) Marc is a bit of a liar, so it may not be true. Then, when he's not on the phone, Marc talks about him very loudly to other people. My mate says he's trying to get a reaction from me, which in a way, its does, but I won't let it show. Anyother mate says maybe my ex still likes me in a way, and then my mum says maybe Marc likes me, SO WHAT ADVICE CAN ANYONE ELSE GIVE IT REALLY BEGING TO GET ON MY NERVES BUT WONT STOP GOING THERE TO LET THEM WIN.

Thank you for replying xxx

Tell the silly fool to grow up and get a life! He is just showing off and you need not listen, so walk away or stay out of his company, he is just a bore.

take care

eyeswideopen agony auntI'd ignore the big mouth just like you are doing, he'll give it up eventually if he doesn't get any reaction from you.

birdynumnums agony auntThey're only doing it to you to get a reaction, and it's obvious that he either still likes you or he felt like the one left behind in the split. The only thing to do is laugh it off when he does it. Have a great time and ignore him. Brush lint off of your shoulders or yawn. Pull out your nose powder and concentrate very hard on applying lipstick. Or just tell him - "I managed to get over you, Now why don't you get over yourself?". If you can't stand it any longer, change pubs! The bonus is New Pub - New Guys!

Marc is obviously later than most in the mature stakes.

Maybe he does like you but if he does, I wouldn't be flattered. Your ex may or may not be carrying on as he seems to be suggesting but you could handle Marc in one of three ways.

1. Get chatting to him and be all lovely and when you have

him hooked, let go.

2. Just take him aside and tell him to grow up.

3. Do as you are doing and ignore him. (if it was me i'd

try to catch his eye and smile (most annoying for him if

if he is trying to get to you.
