Maybe it is time to let that go ...after 2 years of being with someone they don't want to have to keep reassuring you. I know we like to talk, as girls we can talk too much
We want to know every detail and especially we want to know that our guy is not harbouring any feelings for an ex!You have already discussed her, you have been told many times now, let it go.... Having to repeat yourself and talk about someone that isn't in your life anymore can put anyone on the defense.

I just let it go after awhile. I really think the reason is because she was a good person in the marriage and he was not. It hard for me to come to grips with that but I truely believe it. Therefore - what can he say about her.
The best thing for you to do --- let it go. Your relationship with him will work or it will not. I think second marriages are 100% harder then first.
I wish you peace.

Well ii honestly think him and his ex wife may have had a bad relationship or conflict and everytime you bring her up brings him 2 memories about whatever they went through in the past. And ii also think that it makes him feel uncomfortable even thinking about her because he wants to just move on with you and leave her in the past so instead of constantly bringing her up allow him 2 forget about her and leave her in his past .
