I want him to stop bringing up his ex

Hi,

I know she will always be there but I don't want to hear about her. I was open and enthusiastic in the beginning and even wanted to meet her but she was never available. When she found out about me, she asked him to uninvite me from a family function, "for the daughter's sake". Then I found out they had a secret "family" lunch behind my back before Xmas.

I'm just uncomfortable with her and just don't want him to bring her up in our conversations. He did it 3 days ago mentioning she was ill. I didn't need that information, we don't live together yet, I don't look after the child, it doesn't affect me. I'm not ready, not comfortable yet and he refuses to understand it. Anyone else had the same issue?

Reading your other thread OP, my advice is to walk away. I don't think you are compatible.

^This. I'm sorry but I don't think life with a man with a child, with its inevitable compromises and awkwardnesses, is for you.
