Why would someone always bring up your ex?
I don't know if this question belong to this forum. But I really don't know where to ask. I have a friend that I see about twice every week, and every time I see him he would ask about my ex who dumped me. Which is weird, because
a) I don't talk to my ex,
b) I hardly EVER see my ex, because he tend to skip any class I have with him
c) it's been a long while since I brought up the topic of "my ex" to that friend.
I don't know if it's the way I talk that prompts him to bring up my ex as a respond, but I don't think so.. because sometimes he starts our conversation by asking me if my ex showed up in class. In fact, I don't think I ever brought up topic that slightly related to relationship or anything. Yet, he would tease me about my ex sometimes out of no where. If he's still concern about me not getting over my ex, couldn't he think of other ways to cheer me up. Reminding me of how my ex hurt me or how bad he is doesn't really make me feel better.
But like our conversation about my ex is usually only about 3 or 4 sentences, because of my short response, and he doesn't keep asking. Maybe it's just a habit?
I mean people notice that I've gone back to normal, and is pretty happy. So next time he bring up my ex should I ask him why he always bring it up? And tell him I'm all right? And to stop bringing my ex up? How could I say it without sounding mean?
