I have been talking to a guy for about a year. Within this year we have broken up three times. Me and this guy really don't communicate as good as we need to and it had become a strain on our relationship. He also didn't know how to let his ex-girlfriend move on with her life. He would call her and go visit her while we would be dating. I felt like it was disrespectful but he felt like I was being jealous. He would compare me to her. By telling me what she has and what I don't have. Total bull crap if you ask me!!! I really loved this man but he is too selfish. He wants everything to go his way. But I recently broke up with him again because I just felt like I was about to go crazy. He just doesn't understand me. When me and him first started talking it was all good then he started bringing up his ex girlfriend and everything from there started to go down hill. So, I wanted to know did I make the right decision by letting him go.

You pretty much answered your own question. Just go back and read what you wrote and you will easily come to the conculusion that you made the right decision. This guy is very immature and you will be much better off being away from him.

We are in agreement on this one. It's clear that your BF hasn't moved on yet from his previous relationship. He needs to do this before he can even begin to think of starting another one. It seems as though he might be afraid to be alone and you are filling that need for him while his ex is still filling other needs. (Whatever those are?) In my opinion an ex should rarely if ever come up in normal conversation. It is fair for you to be curious and ask certain questions about his past partners, but he shouldn't be brow beating you with his ex all the time. Thats just rude!
He's simply not ready. Move on and find someone who is. You'll know when you find it because it will be much easier without all the hassels. I can't explain how you will know, you just will.
If your (now) ex BF is acting the way he does now, that will never change. He can say he will but in the end he's still the same guy he's always been. His issues will only become more magnified over time.
Good luck!

I want to thank you two for giving me your opinion on my situation. I guess I pretty much knew I was doing the right thing. I just needed another opinion. Thanks!!!

well if he just keeps talking about his ex then i think he hasn't gotten over her and he is just using you so i think what you did was right.
