My ex an i split last july. First he wanted us to still live together with me staying at home looking after ds, even sharing his bed platonically.

I was having none of that, found myself a job and moved out as soon as i could (he was adamant he wasnt moving) and ds joined me a few months later

Now all is calm with my world, ds is happy, he goes to his dads at the weekend, i dont even mind passing pleasantries with him while waiting for ds to finish doing whats far more important at that point nothing.

But i took issue when the plesantries changed to how he had found the love of his life again after 15 years apart (that will be the duration we were together), how wonderful it is that he has a second chance yada yada.

Aibu to think its wrong for him to lord his new love life over me, he finished our relationship and it felt like he was saying it was my fault he wasnt with his new/old beau in the first place? I snapped at him to shut up, but should i should have just let him be joyous about it all although it still feels like a knife is being stuck in and turned

He sounds like a dick OP I'd be hurt by that too. Next time he starts trying to spout off just tell him u have much more interesting things to discuss like watching paint dry than his new found 'love' rebound

YANBU.

He's an adult, he made his own choices. It's not your fault if he now regrets some of them.

He's also a bit of a dickhead if he thinks you as his ex have any interest in hearing about his new relationship. Well done for telling him to shut up.

YANBU. It's not your fault he wasn't with his new/old boyfriend, and he's a dick for trying to make you feel that way.
