Talk about his ex
Jenny, 33, from Texas asks:
Is it okay for a boyfriend to talk about his ex girlfriend quite often?
VictorM's answer:
It depends how often he talks about her, what he says, and how long ago their break-up was.
It's normal for him to want to talk about her because she was an important part of his life no matter how things ended. If the break-up was recent, the more common such talk is. If the break-up was years ago, then it means he's having a hard time letting go.
I'm not quite sure how to answer your question other than to say that under certain circumstances it is normal and nothing to worry about... for a while anyway. This can't go on for ever.
I'd also say that total silence about an ex is more worrisome; it means he's keeping it inside instead of getting her out of his system, which is what he's doing when he talks about her.
I suggest you let him babble about her for now. By letting him talk you'll get a better sense of when he's gotten her out of his system. That'll be when he stops talking about her.
However, if he talks in glowing terms about her, just rips his balls right off! :)
