I dated a guy when I was 15 - 17, we broke up (he dumped me) as he was a couple of years older and was going off to university and haven't seen much of him in 5 years. About a two years after we split I randomly met him out in town one day, we weren't on bad terms so we went for a coffee together and he then asked me back out, said he had regretted our break up. I rejected this offer and he stormed off calling me a bitch and that was the last I spoke to him.
Then last October I bumped into this guy I'd known though my ex, he was his older brothers friend really but also friendly with my ex and I'd always kind of fancied this guy. We kind of hooked up a few times and I wasn't expecting it to go anywhere but its actually become more serious and we are dating now and at the weekend my new boyfriend, spoke to my ex to tell him that he was seeing me.
Since then my ex has been really unreasonable saying that its disgusting what we are doing, that it isn't fair on him and so on. His older brother, who is actually pretty close to my boyfriend has also said he is angry about it.
I just feel like I dated my ex five years ago when I was still in high school, I've dated quite a few guys since then and in many ways he feels like ancient history and so the fact that I used to go out with him shouldn't be an obstacle to what could be an actual serious relationship? I'm just pissed he still seems to feel some kind of ownership over me and is trying to make trouble for my new guy.
