Ex and I split in November last year. The only reason for our split was the mother of his dad, his ex.
They were together for 8 years until she ran off with another man she had been seeing behind his back. He had been single for about a year until we met.
Everything was lovely between us except his ex. She was a nightmare and the first four months of our relationship he kept me a secret because he knew what she was like.
Soon as she did find out about me, any dates or weekends away we were on she would bombard him constantly with phone calls and text messages. One time she saw us out in the town from a bus (he didn't know she saw us but I saw her) and from that moment onwards that day she was constantly ringing him, making up situations to ring him about. He was really shit at dealing with her and pretty much refused to say anything to her so I broke it off. Since we have been split, he is much more effective in dealing with her now and has said his eyes have been opened to what she's really like.
So, we still like each other, have been great friends and decided to make another go of things until he told me that not long after we had broken up, she asked him if we had broken up and then went on and on at him for days after for a reason we had broken up. Is this even normal? He did tell her that yes, we had broken up but he said he ignored the texts asking the reason. I told him that he should've told her that his relationship was nothing to do with her. She's an absolute arsehole and yet again, I'm furious at his lack of ability to deal with her and we won't be getting back together again.
