A female , anonymous writes:

I'm a simple, average girl who has my Mr. Right, but now my relationship with him fell apart because of my ex.

He kept insulting me about my past whenever he saw my ex, but the thing is, he knows that I love him so much and he knows that I hate my ex. He even promised me that he won't mention about my ex again, but the same thing happens again.

Please help me.

Andy J agony auntKinda a hard question but i think in the early stages of my (x relationship) i did the same. But the circumstances were very different i think cos of what he did to her (thats why he ended up in hospital twice). But my best advice from a blokes point of view is that u've gotta j=tell him straight to stop it because its puching you away! He just feels that your x is better than him and probberly thinks that you still have feelings for him.

Sexybum agony auntI agree with the person above it is hard to answer this question without knowing more, however I can say that my boyfriend (who is now my ex) kept doing his to me. I was in contact with an ex-boyfriend. It was a bit silly this guy I was in contact with was just a friend the only reason he was an ex was because we went out as kids. I met my new man because I had a new life, but whenver I saw an old friend or if any one I knew mentioned my ex, then my boyfriend would be real nasty, call me a chav, slag all of it. In the end I ignored and refused to talk to anyone about my ex as it would upset my boyfriend who I loved to peices. He would still hang aroung with his ex and chat to her brother all the time. What he was donig was wrong and nasty and manipulative. No-one deserves to be insulted about their past by a present partner. If he doesn't like it then he should sling his hook or deal with it. Its not your problem. Ask yourself is he ruining your confidence each time he insults. If the answer is yes then its no good confrontinh him as you've tried this one before and he didn't change. If the answer is yes you should get rid of him until he bucks up his ideas.

without knowing any more this is a tricky question to answer but i have a feeling that your bf is a little insecure and may be concerned. he might see your ex as being better than him in some way and wants your confirmation that he isn't. i know it's petty but some men are just like that.
