I wouldn't class you as a jealous person just because you don't like to hear about his exes. I certainly don't like to hear about my husbands exes.

You need to explain to him that it makes you uncomfortable when he keeps bringing them up.

If that doesn't do the trick you could always bring up your ex and see if he likes things the other way round - I would guarantee he doesn't and hopefully that will be enough.

My husband never remembers anniversaries or birthdays (but does remember his exes - typical). I just bought a calendar and write special dates in red ink so that he has a chance to check. I'm sure that your boyfriend not remembering does not mean that he doesn't care - they just seem a little less important to guys.

whu!!!!!!!you're not the only one girl, my bf did the same thing and my advice to you is tel him exactly how you feel let him know that that is what a girl hates and don't wanna hear. maybe he just don't know how you feel so let him know, and if he stops doing it than you'll know he did'nt mean it actually.

Laura1318 agony auntYou need to let him know that you do not like to listen about his ex's. If he respects you , he would heed your call .Most girls do not like their b/f to mention their ex or any girl. That is a normal girl behavior.
