writes: I've been dating this guy for about 7 months now. We agreed to an open relationship. He still sees his ex-wife also. To begin with I was ok with all of this. Now, it bothers me. He talks to me about what they do and tells me where they go but he doesn't tell her what we do. I think that's what bothers me because I'm not in love with him but I do care about him. He's very stubborn so I can't really explain my feelings to him because he always tries to come up with something to justify his actions. He's one of those people who are never wrong and it's aggrevating at times because I can't express my feelings. How should I handle this other than leaving him alone?

Well he's being honest with you, and not with her. That has to count for something.
However, the fact he's stringing his ex wife along, and the fact he never listens to you tells me you might want to move away from him anyway as he sounds like a jerk.
Talk to him and just say you are doing this and I don't like it. There is no argument for this. Just keep repeating "I don't care what you say, I still don't like it."
He can either change or he'll tell you that it's your problem and you know where the door is, hoping you'll cave in and continue doing what he wants.
Tell him it's been fun and use the door and don't look back.
Good Luck!! xx
