Should I be worried about my boyfriend and his ex?

Question - (22 September 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 22 September 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *33 writes:

Boyfriend and I started dating 2 weeks ago. Sometimes he brings up his ex (they broke up August 24th) which kind of bothers me. His ex blocked him on FB but added him yesterday. I can't really complain b.c my ex and I broke up a month before they broke up and are still FB friends but we don't talk at all. His ex is currently in a relationship but I don't trust her. I don't know wether or not I should worry. So far, he's been a great boyfriend and even asked me for some feedback so he can become a better boyfriend.

If he hasn't done anything to give you a reason to worry about him with her, then don't worry. This just sounds like a bit of retroactive jealousy – the "she had him first" kind of jealousy. Keep being a good girlfriend, and he'll keep being your boyfriend.

Jmtmj agony auntI don't think you should be worried... they broke up for a reason. Plus you've got your ex as a FB friend and you know that it can mean absolutely nothing and you never talking to them at all. They can just sit on the friend list and no contact be made whatsoever.

If she starts msging him, posting on his wall and getting all flirty... maybe then you can raise an eyebrow at your boyfriend. But as it stands right now- he sounds like a good guy. I'm sure many girls would love for their boyfriend to ask for feedback on how he can improve as a boyfriend.

Best of luck :)

This is such a difficult position to be in, you need to figure out if you trust him. Are they talking on FB? In what context is he bringing her into conversations with you? Does he still have feelings for her? These are things you need to find out before making any decisions, i hope it wokrs out for you x

Kenj agony auntTry not to let it worry you and focus on you and your boyfriend.

However if he is mentioning her more than your own relationship then he could just be on the rebound in which case it would be sensible to break it off now.

Give it a few months and see where it takes you both.
