So... I've been dating a guy for 6 months now... and lately my ex boyfriend keeps talking about the girl that he's with... and he said to me "maybe my family will like her too" he's bragging to me about the girl and I don't know if he's just jealous that I'm dating or what he's trying to prove what do you think?

And why are you still dating him ?

Not my ex boyfriend no. we've been broken up for about 8 or 9 months now.. I'm dating another guy but my ex is, I believe, trying to make me jealous.

I think your ex is jealous. It's a possibility. He sees you with another guy and now he's telling you that he's introducing his girlfriend to his family-- which is a pretty big step.

If it's not jealousy then he could be simply telling you.

If you don't feel comfortable talking to your ex then my suggestion is to just keep him as an acquaintance, "Hi how are you? Great. Awesome. Bye. See you around" type of thing.


If he does other things to try and make you jealous the best thing to do is confront him and say:
"Ken, I've been feeling like you've been trying to make me feel jealous lately. When you said _____________ is one of the times that I felt that way. Am I being silly or am I right on target?"

It doesn't matter what his intentions are.
If what he is saying is making you uncomfortable, then stop talking to him, plain and simple.

If he won't leave you alone, then it is clear he still wants you, so you need to make it perfectly clear that you are over him and he needs to move on.

What is your ex trying to tell you?

"Precious we broke up a long time ago and I still have feelings for you but because I'm so immature and can't admit it or your new boyfriend will punch my face in, so I will gloat about *MY* new girlfriend so you feel jealous and tell me you like me too and we can try again LOLZ."


In other words, don't pay your ex any attention and enjoy the relationship you have now. You broke up for a reason. He's a stale Lawlermuffin.

Fuhgettaboutit!

Yep he is jealous and insecure so he is going around bragging because he wants to feel and get others to believe that he is better off now.
Basically he is trying to rub it in that he has a girlfriend and wants to possibly try and convince himself that he is better off now than before.
