First let me start with saying The guy I have recently started talking to / started meeting up with is great so far much better than what I am usto but he brings up his ex alot in conversations over the phone ect it’s not really in anyway like he’s confessing his undying love but refers back to her family hated him and they might have still been together ect she wasn’t bad it was her family he would be friends if he seen her in the street sort of thing I don’t think he means it in anyway and he seems very keen on me am I over reacting or is it a bit strange a dunno if it’s because I had problems with my ex and his ex it’s just a fear or would other people not be ok with this

What we think is not as important as how you feel when he says that, OP.

So - how do you feel (not what you think, but your immediate feeling) when he says it?

You could just say "I want to look to the future and we're only just getting to know one another, so perhaps we should both stop talking about exes".

It's early days so if he takes it on board, all well and good. If he finds that odd or keeps going on about her then drop him because he's fixated on someone else and not listening to you.
