ok so on friday night i was watching tv and fell asleep on the sofa, i woke up 2 hours later and saw i had 3 text messages - two from my boyfriend and one from my ex just saying hello how are you really. i replied to my ex's message first just because he had sent the text first but accidentally sent it to my boyfriend (coincidentally they have the same name) now my boyfriend is so mad he's talking about ending our relationship. he is barely speaking to me. i do understand how it must've looked to him, he didnt know i was asleep so as far as he's concerned he sent me 2 texts i didnt reply to either of them then he got a text from me which was meant for my ex. he obviously thought i was ignoring him and had been texting my ex all night. but i explained what had happened and he said that i have broken his heart by texting my ex before him because that proves my ex means more to me than he does which is rubbish. i only replied to my ex because it would be rude not to! i think he's being immature and he thinks i'm being disrespectful. its not like we're kids, we're both 22 and i think its ridiculous to talk about ending our relationship because i replied to someone elses text just before his. am i right? i love my boyfriend with all of my heart and he's really surprised me by acting like this. i have apologised for it but he's really looking for me to grovel and beg for forgiveness over this.

hes most likely feeling hurt by the fact your still friends with your ex. men dont like the idea of their partners having past lives (its silly but its stuck in our heads from birth so get used to it ha) and the fact that your past life is still in your present will upset him..especially if an ex of his whent back to her ex.. honesty is the best for any relationship.

talk it through, maybe he does have an issue in his past, distance yourself from your ex be firendly by all means but keep distant.

cd206 agony auntYou're right, he's being silly unless you texted your ex something truly scandalous. You've apologised to him and he should accept that but if he's being a kid about it promise him that in future you'll always text him back first when you have a few to reply to. Oh, and maybe file your ex's number under his surname or something so u dnt get confused again!

Shelley-jade agony auntYour boyfriend probley feels betrayed, knowing that hes partner still keeps in contact with her ex. Has your boyfriend had a previous relantionship where he's ex has gone back to her ex. Maybe thats why he is so mad because he thinks he is going to lose you.

Maybe you should leave it for a while. Or smply write him a letter. Letters can always be re-read where spoken words can not.
