"I still miss my ex"

[Fedup13]

Is what my partner has just told me. I know they were together years and she's a big part of his history but they've been divorced for 2 and a half years, we've been together a year - is it normal for him to say this to me???
They never speak as they apparantly "can't get on" but today managed to have a heart to heart where she's said she's glad they're both moving on. I was just speaking to him about him and I asked if she maybe thought there was a chance they'd get back together? he said she maybe did - but he can't cope with her mood swings etc so it would never work (err and also the fact that you're now in a relationship with me, right??) and then he said "I still miss her and I miss the times we had and I don't regret any of it, but I can't cope with her personality"

AIBU to be hurt by this?? I wouldn't dream of telling him I miss my ex!

What a twat.

Do they have children together? Is that why they had a conversation today?

Oh no, that is so sad for you, and i guess him to in a way!!

Yes you have every right to be hurt by this!!

Where do you think you can go from here?

And again!

Honestly, men are so stupid sometimes. What was he thinking??

No advice, but YADNBU.

I think he us just bring honest with you and he should be commended for that.
He has said he has no intention of getting back with her.
It's important to have a good relationship with an ex particularly if children or joint friends are involved

Pressed send too early!
Hd probably does miss her. That's normal surely? Anyone who has been a big part of someone's life there are parts that you miss. That doesn't mean you want to be with them

Again??

It was a very stupid thing for him to say. But perhaps he felt he had to be honest.
I'd be very hurt by it.
Ball firmly in his court now to give you all the reassurance you need, but I suspect this will always nag away at you now it's been said.
