Am I Biting Off Too Much With This Relationship?

Please help me figure out if I am biting off too much with this relationship! I am newly engaged to my boyfriend. When we were still dating his ex contacted him trying to persuade him to end our relationship so they could have a booty call. He didn’t, but didn’t tell her off either. During our entire relationship she has pulled stunts like saying she was stranded in our town (she lives 4 towns over) and asking to crash over for the night. We are planning to get married but he won’t stop talking to her, even though he knows how disgusted I am with the situation. She now lives in another state and has been in a relationship the entire time this has been going on. Also, is there a way I can get him to quit talking to her because I feel it is disrespecting to our relationship?

As Mick Jagger said, “old habits die hard”. In addition to that your fiance seems like just a nice guy who doesn’t want to be cruel. That said he needs to form new habits beginning with breaking his relationship or his need to attend to his ex’s beckon call. It begins by learning to say no and continues by him saying no until she no longer asks him for anything. Her involvement in your lives is definitely a distraction to your relationship. And she knows it.
