Why does he keep bringing up our exes?

Every so often, he'll ask about my ex (5 years). Ask if my family likes him more than they liked the ex. If my ex makes me feel the way he does. If my ex could do the things he does. Etc. Why is that?

And how come every time I say or do something a little off the wall, he...makes an allusion toward his ex? I am bipolar, or so I was told. I'm beginning to wonder if that's correct. Anyhow, his ex was bipolar, and she was really crazy. Tried to kill herself on his doorstep. I started on Seroquel a little while back (did nothing for me, but was a great sleep aid) and missed a few doses. I told him that I had a stomach ache and a headache from what I thought were withdrawal symptoms, since I'd been taking it for a while. He got worried and was like..."you...aren't gonna try to kill yourself, are you?" I just got frustrated, like--"I'm not your ex!!! I just have a headache!" He did that toward the beginning as well. He told me he had a bit of a trust issue. And that I reminded him of this girl, or that girl, or this ex, in whichever way...but I'm not any of them. I am a strange person. But I'm not on that level. Why does he do that?

Honey, your ex is your ex for a reason and it sounds like a very good reason at that. So,...LEAVE HIM THERE.

It sounds like everything is about him, him, him, him,....

He's not interested in you or concerned about you, though he seems to give the impression that he is and/or that he wants to get back with you.

Take stock: This is not the makings of a good relationship, much less a good friendship, so why keep him in your life??? What in the world are YOU getting out of this???

It's up to you to decide what you're going to do about all of this. It's up to you to keep taking it or to put an end to all of it.

Below is a copy of an article on relationships that is very informative and covers several points that directly and/or indirectly relate to your situation. Take stock....

you need to tell him to stop bringing up your ex', because it can cause a lot of problems for your alls relationship. you have to trust one and another for things to work out rite for you both. he needs to let the past be the past and go on with your alls future. good luck

He wants to be better and the best you have had.

Say that to him and he might stop. :]

Maybe he's just a bit over-protective of his woman as well, just like every other loving guy.

to make you jelly
haha
