Well, we are a happy couple, we both got divorced less than 6 months ago, but we have been separated from our formers for a long time.
We talk about everything and he makes comparasions and i just wonder if this is normal. I have 2 kids with my ex and dont mention him as much as he mentions his ex.
Whats up with that?
Does He really hate her and can't let it go?
He keeps telling me I am the complete opposite of her but I m kind of sick to hear her name, good or bad.

    It's difficult because every memory he has of the past years involves her. Annoying but understandable. As you two build a life together you will make your own memories.

      thanks for the encourgement. Even though he speaks of his wasted time, its getting better with time. there are also times i open up aboutthe stupid things my ex did in the past. I guess we are trying not to repeat the same mistakes.

    I can understand his need to talk about it but maybe he should find another source to let it out instead of you like a support group or counselor?

    He probably shouldn't be bringing her up that much. Tell him that he has to move on and that it makes you uncomfortable when he talks about her. I don't think he should be doing that. Trust me I went through the same thing. The good news is that it does get much better over time.

    I've been through the same. After a while I got tired of it and we talked about it. Then she stopped. So my advice is: talk about it.
