    If u both are still fresh in the relationship and it hasn't been long since he broke up with her,it can be normal depending on what he's telling,does he talk to heal the wounds she has left him?Or does he still want her??

    Anyway,be smart enough and take this on ur side,listen carefully to what he says so u can know what was the reasons4breaking up,what he likes and dislikes in relationships etc.it's an oppurtunity to learn from their mistakes.

    It is a good thing that he considered u a best friend too,but be careful that he still might wants his ex back..

    Good luck

    Well I guess it depends on how long you guys have been together for. Some guys may lack closure with the girl they were previously with, and when things end suddenly they sometimes don't feel like they got everything they wanted to say off their chest and stuff like that can haunt you. I think you should just tell him straight up how his discussions about his ex's affects you. if you want to play dirty, you can talk about your ex's and see how he reacts, if he complains just admit that you were doing it to show him how you feel when he talks about his. Another thing you can do is to aknowledge it and then tell him that he can talk to you about it and get it out of his head, but also tell him that you can listen to him but if it continues, it will strain the relationship. Hope I helped! Good luck!

    you should be able to communicate this to him. he probably doesnt even realize hes doing it. she was probably just a big part of his life, and has lots of stories involving her to tell, and hes a just a guy and isnt thinking about the fact that its his EX. Next time he does it, just stop him and ask, "Why do you like to talk about your ex to me so much"? And see what he says. Just tell him you think its a little strange...dont tell him it makes you jealous or anything. Point out that you dont talk about your Ex, and how would he feel if you brought him up every 10 minutes.

    I would just put it out there. Next time he's talking about his ex girlfriend just say, "you know obviously she made a huge impact on your life, and I'm not deminishing that, but I just don't really care about all the details, ok. Unless of course you want to hear all about my exes, too"

    Sit him down and talk to him. Let him know that when he does that you feel insecure or nervous, and ask him to stop. If he doesnt stop... then maybe you should find a guy that is going to talk about you all the time and cherish you

    You should tell him that it makes you feel unconfortable in the same way that he probably wouldn't like you doing the same thing to him. Just tell him that is not a very tackful thing to do if he really cares for you.

    seems like he is till "not over" his previous relationship. if you can still stand it, try to listen and understand his needs. if you are already enraged by this, you can cool things off for a while to give him time to think what he really wants to happen. or else, you might just get hurt without him even noticing it was his fault.

    Ask him why does he keep bring up the past? You also want to tell him directly that you are tired of hearing about his ex-girls because you don't want to hear about them anymore.

    Of course that's to be expected. Ask him what is his point in doing that and be honest to say that you're getting irritated already.
