writes: Is my ex boyfriend jealous that i have met someone else?. The guy i am currently dating is a lot older than me, but me ex is a bit younger than me. My ex sent me a text message saying " The old dirty b*****d can have you. I wash my hands of you ", and my ex said that he wants to look for someone else, because i have found someone . He doesn't even know the guy i am dating, so he shouldn't be saying things like that about him!. I feel bad if i have upset my ex, even though he can be really cruel sometimes, but i can't help it if i have fallen for someone else. We were together on and off for 6 years, so i still miss him in a way, but i have been dating this guy for a few weeks now, and we really care about each other. I am worried though, incase it doesn't work out because of the age gap, even though we are getting on well at the moment. What should i do?.

Stop talking with your ex. Stop texting and everything else, NO COMMUNICATION is the way you get truly over him.
But like everyone else said, who cares what he thinks?

Who cares what an EX thinks...
sounds to me like you are keeping the EX around for security... lousy reason to keep an EX around
he's an EX for a reason.

Delete his number and ignore his messages, he's probably annoyed cos you moved on first.

If your ex sent you that nasty of a message when you're grinding trying to move on with someone who respects you, I wouldn't even give him the courtesy of a response. What a jerk. I totally understand that you still have feelings for your ex (you have several years of history together). But if you were off & on that much, & he's this bitter, you're much better off without him. Enjoy this new gentleman & just see where it goes. Maybe he is ready for a real respectful loving relationship. Good luck!

He's your ex, why should you care if he's jealous? Enjoy your new relationship.
I know you guys dated for 6 years on and off, that's a long time, but you don't owe him anything. Things didn't work out and obviously you're moving on in your life. It doesn't sound like he is, yet, that isn't your problem.

I think you should delete your ex's text message and number and move on from him. It's non of his business who you are with now and his actions only show how bitter and spiteful he is.
You go on seeing your new boyfriend and enjoying your own life. The age gap really doesn't matter as long as you are both happy and getting on well.
All the best to you!
