Background me and ex have known each other 8 years but live in different countries so have gone have very long periods of time not speaking and it’s very on and off relationship wise.

We then reconnected properly and he wanted us to get married and then backed out and obviously that ended things and he moved on very quickly.

Fast forward one year, they are no longer together and we are talking again. Yesterday we were FaceTiming and he mentioned his ex’s daughter and how talented she was as an artist, literally speaking for a good 10 minutes about her and I was just Confused

I genuinely have nothing against his ex or her daughter. It’s just that they aren’t anyone to me and they are people I have never and will never meet so aibu to have stopped him and told him that I really don’t care? And that it’s actually a weird subject to discuss?

The whole relationship sounds weird TBH.

Why do you keep going back to him?

Forget the ex's daughter.

Why do you keep going back to someone who you clearly don't have a strong and continuing relationship with?

I mean the gap inbetween is quite personal and he went through a lot and he came out the other side. So yeah he was my ex and then he hide his awful few years after our breakup and then he got back in contact with me and we spoke as friends.

It’s not weird, if you’ve never had a long distant relationship and he was an addict and has now been clean for a good few years.

He's talking about people he knows.
It was a bit rude of you.
What if you were talking about someone you knew to him and he said that to you?

It's called conversation.

He’s not involved in their lives anymore.
