Ex Wife of 7 yrs - does he really need to talk to her?
Hi All,
New to the site but excited I can get some outsider advise. My boyfriend of 8 months has been divorced for 4 years and was separated for 3 years prior to that. He has no children with his Ex wife and no common friends after the divorce About 3 months into our relationship he tells me about his ex-wife and how she's doing this for her job. I of course ask how this came up and he said she called him. I asked how often this occurs and he said every few weeks. I got really upset as there's no reason to keep a friendship with her - you couldn't have a marriage with her so why this? I expressed my concern as he was not happy when my ex boyfriend stopped, unannounced to me, at my house when he was there and I wasn't. Recently I decide to ask in hopes that he'd say he hadn't talked to his ex - wife and of couse yes he had and they talk business and she likes to get his opinion. I feel this is a potential wedge as well as there is no point in putting that sort of past in our present and potentially creating an issue when it's not necessary.
