My boyfriend talks about his ex’s all the time. I don’t know what to do it drives me crazy and feel unimportant!

You need to confront him on this issue and understand his purpose for always talking about his past relationships. If you don’t get a clear answer then you need to move on and find someone who is focused on you and only you.

    I have the same problem and it’s very frustrating.
    It sure doesn’t make me feel special. Besides when we are out on a date and he brings the ex subject is like we are 3 going on a date. I believe is because they are not totally over the relationship yet. Obviously if he talks about her is because she’s on his mind, i don’t know if in a negative or positive way but still in his mind. Truth is i’m not prepared to compete with his ex, the situation is not getting better either , therefore i’ll have to walk away from the relationship. They don’t give you another choice, i can’t enjoy my relationship and give (or get) 100% because of some ghost from the past?? it isn’t fear. I’m ready to throw the towel and it sounds as if you are getting there.

    LORD HAVE MERCY!!!! I know the feeling my spouse talks about his ex’s all the time and then turn and ask me about mine, Im like I don’t wanna talk about them, that is in the past so let’s leave it there. I don’t wanna hear about his and I don’t wanna talk about mine. What does this mean he is still having a problem letting them go or what? I have been getting sick and tired of hearing this. What should I do ?

    Mine talked about his ex all the time also. I bit my tongue for about 5 months. Finally I just really reamed him out one day. He said that he will talk about whatever the f$&k he wants- exact words. BUT, he must not have wanted to talk about her because he never brought her up again. That was almost 3 months ago.

    The damage is done though, it still really hurts.
