Do I have every right to be upset?

I have been in a relationship for almost a year and I am happy being with my boyfriend. Like every couple, we have our ups and downs and I admit that we're not perfect but I absolutely love him for everything we have gone through.

About a month ago, his ex-girlfriend called him and emailed him a letter in which she said she was upset he had moved on so quickly with me and that he did not tell her and that she had been hoping they would get back together. We laughed at this and brushed it off because it had been almost a year.

However, after that email, it seems like she has been trying to get his attention again by calling him and posting messages on his facebook. One is fine, but three is a crowd and I am getting rather upset and very annoyed at this happening over and over. I talked to my boyfriend and I told him I am annoyed and that I don't want to see this happen ever again. I don't allow my ex boyfriends to parade themselves on my facebook and neither should he..

Am I right to have voiced my opinion over this? Should I have ever right to be upset? Or should I have let this go by because he never responds to her?

    Yes. I think he should be considerate of how damaging this can be to your relationship. I also have an odd feeling he knows how bad this can get. If a man loves a woman, he will never let there be a reason for a couple to break up. He will try everything, exhuast all his resources before allowing a break up to happen. At least that is what I believe.

    I would speak to the ex and say that is inappropriate and you do not appreciate her interference. Say that enough is enough and even point out that she is destroying her own happiness when she could be doing something better than wasting her effort on something that was in the past.

    Well you have reason to be annoyed with her but not so much with him. It isnt his fault that she won't leave him alone, and its definitely an effort on his part to ignore her by not responding to her. Any person in a good relationship will tell you that communication really is key and when something is going on, its better to discuss it than let it build up inside and result in a huge blow up. He knows you're uncomfortable so the next step should be him asking the girl to stop contacting him and to remind her that he is with you.

    you should have every right to be upset and voice your opinion about how u feel about all of this. he needs to know how u feel about all of this and if you don't speak up and speak your mind about how u feel then he will never know. even though it is almost a year your relationship with your boyfriend should have open communication and tell each other what is going on. even though he never responds to her, he still should know how u feel about the whole situation about what she is doing and how much it bothers u even if it is something little. Good luck

    well you cant control other peoples actions-only your own. Be the bigger person and tell him to ask her to leave him alone. If he doesn't ask her to leave him alone-then there is something wrong with him. If he asks her and she still doesn't stop, then you could send her a POLITE email saying that you understand that she might want to be closer to him, but this is not possible because he is happy with you. Tell her that if she misses him, the three off you can all hang out together and become friends (trust me, you CAN kill someone with kindness).

    Maybe this is his way of handling things, he hasn't had any intentions of getting back together with that girl so i dont think you should be worried. If i were in this situation though, I would ask him if he could tell the other girl that there was no way he could get back together because he was with me/you. when in relationships, i feel like you should always have the reassurance from the other person that theyare devoted to you

    The problem is: He's not upset. If you really believe he is not responding to her, then chances are he's upset that you are picking on him.

    He is your boyfriend and not your husband. BIG difference. If she's bugging him through voicemail and FACEBOOK, he can choose to enjoy it or ignore it. Ya gotta love the social networking thing. Please for your sake, understand the difference between a boyfriend and a husband.

    You can be upset, but not overly upset. It's not his fault that his ex is prostrating herself to him. He hasn't responded so obviously he's not interested.

    Now, you can ask him to block her numbers/facebook etc so that she has no way of contacting him. If he refuses to do this THEN you have the right to be upset.

    You have a right to be mad about anything! I think it's justified but I would mostly be mad at her. She's showing a lot of disrespect. the only thing I would be asking from him is that he deletes her from his account. Unless they work together or have kids together what's the point of keeping ties like that?

    By all accounts, I think you have a right to be angry or upset because of it.

    However, you should Trust your BF enough to know that he won't reply anyway.

    Trust is Key in any relationship.

    If you don't trust him, you shouldn't be in that Relationship.
