Contact with exs

[Mrskeats]

My bf of 7 months is rather jealous and does not like me to have contact with any of my previous partners.
He is often mean about my ex husband who I have a mostly reasonable relationship with.
My ex bf of 4 years texts me occasionally and he really dislikes that too.
However last night I saw an email as he was looking at them on his laptop next to me.
Turns out it was from a woman he has a short fling with 6 years ago and he has admitted he has occasionally text her
I am furious as I think this is hypocrisy really.
I want to tell him that I want him to never contact her again.
He even made out it was my fault he contacted her as we had had a row and he went home.
How to proceed?

Who cares what he has texted? You shouldn't.

You said you have other problems, and 7 months is well within the honeymoon period. He should be on his bestest behaviour!

Take back your keys, block his number.....

Well just you keep checking that mailbox/phone/email...

Or just dump. Save yourself some wasted months, possibly YEARS and DUMP!!!

Read a few threads on here. He's a twat. Luckily, you've only been with him a few months. Move on. Please.

So? the next text could be 'sorry about that. you remember how mental I told you my girlfriend is about exes'

Well I guess it is controlling
Anyway spent a lot of the weekend arguing about his (in my view) excessive watching of sport: football, formula 1, cycling etc so am v fed up today
Back to the drawing board I think
It's a pity as he's lovely in some ways

I'm in touch with most of my exes, especially two I have children to. In fact my ex spent most of Sunday afternoon here and then I made him tea because he was here at tea-time. And then, shock horror, he went home. Because we're still friends. I'd be wary of any new partner that didn't understand the concept of having a friendship with an ex. So is it exes you drop first, then friends, and finally family members he doesn't like? Big red flag.

Sounds to me like you both have secrets.

and telling someone they shouldn't contact someone is controlling behaviour

You were happily keeping in touch with your exs and now that he's doing it you don't like it .... I don't think anyone should be In constant contact with their exes when you're with someone else unless you got children with him . There's a reason they are called x as in the past

I don't have secrets I just thought it was hypocritical.
Obv have to keep in touch with exh re children
Ex bf got in touch as his mum died suddenly. Only occasional texting since then. Tbh I feel sorry for him as he's had lots of problems since we spilt
