Question - (22 October 2016) 3 Answers - (Newest, 26 October 2016)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, *atroyal writes:

My boyfriend and I have been going out for one month now, but were friends for two years.

I know all of his friends, but recently he's mentioned someone who he's never even spoken about before.

Apparently, they used to be boyfriend and girlfriend and have known each other for seven years. Whenever my boyfriend and I talk, he always mentions her and I'm starting to feel jealous as they still talk, a lot.

The truth is that I don't even know if she's real or not, yet whenever he says her name I get really annoyed. Should I tell my boyfriend how I feel about this or should I investigate her reality?

aunt honesty agony auntIs he one for telling lies when you doubt him on his word? If it is upsetting you then tell him that you don't like hearing about his ex. Just keep it simple and straight forward, but remember she is an ex for a reason.

Honeypie agony auntReal or not, talk to your BF. Let him know that you ACCEPT and understand he has a past from before you, but if he could not bring that ex up in every conversation as it makes you think he isn't over her.

Or suggest that you get to meet her since you hear so much about her.

It's only been a month though so maybe he isn't that good at conversations one on one, thus he sticks his foot in his mouth.

I think you are being a tad overdramatic with this, to be frank.

Youcannotbeserious agony auntIf she is imaginary, then she is no threat to you. If she is real she is STILL no threat to you.

I have a third option for you to consider. Why not just accept that he may have a past and that his past has made him the person he is today?
