Is it normal my ex-boyfriend behaves this way?

My boyfriend broke up with me after us being together for eight months or so. He told me he just lost interest in being together with me, and that he thought he was not the right one for me anymore, and asked me not to miss him too much.

Of course I was sad and really hurt, for I had still feelings for him. But after a while I learned to live with it. Also, we were still sort of friends and saw each other a few times.

Then he started chatting with a girl he almost doesn't know, and he immediately had a crush on her. When he told me about that, I was a bit hurt, but I forced myself to try not to think about him anymore.

I did ok with that, and after a while, I started dating an old friend of mine. I had a good feeling about it and with every new day I spent with him, I felt better about my past relationship, though I sometimes still miss him a bit.

But here's the problem: When my ex found out I had something going on with another guy, he got angry and annoyed. What the. I thought he wanted me to forget about him and get a new life. Then why should he be angry now? Also, he has a crush on another one, too. So why don't I have the right to have that myself?

Is his behaviour normal?

    He's got no business being angry or annoyed. Its funny how people do that. Who do they think they are exactly?? I had a similar experience a long time ago. When I finally moved on my ex would still call at all hours expecting me to tell him where I was and whatnot. Uhh how about no dude!! You broke up with me, remember?! So anyway, just ignore him. He's being a baby.

    The double standards he's imposing on you is unfair. If he expects you to accept him liking another girl and breaking up with you with the excuse you gave him with a mature response, he shouldn't be getting worked up about you seeing someone else. Especially if he claims he has no feelings for you it just doesn't make sense to me.

    He has a big ego.
    In his mind, you're supposed to mourn the loss of him.....forever
    Its a selfish thing.
    Take the lesson. Beware of guys who remind you of him.
    He's the type that thinks nothing of cheating on his wife

    Seems to me like he doesn't want you to get over him and move on. He's just being a selfish dickhead.

    Man are pretty weird and jealous. He thinks your suppose to be his back-fall for atleast 2 years and not get on with you life. Bless him ;) it is normal to do this but it should not be (hope that makes sense). There would have been a good chance that if you told him you were interred in this other guy a week after he broke with you that he wanted you back. (so transparent)

    The first mistake is that you two were still "friends" after you broke up. Although that mistake can be easily corrected.

    That's how I treat women I don't respect. He doesn't respect you, so you must be lame.
