Ah, ok. Well if I were you I wouldn't read too much into it and just focus your attention on this new relationship. It seems like this is going well and that is what is important that this new guy treats you good. Don't worry too much about the ex, he's an ex for a reason. Good luck.
yes the guy i'm with now is a new boyfriend before that was the mean one and before that is the ex in this story.
So this is the ex before the ex that was abusive? So the guy you are with now is a new boyfriend? I'm so confused.
Well being a man I know that if I broke up with a woman it would be because i wanted to. But some people make mistakes, maybe he made a mistake and wants you back but doesn't want to show you that he made a mistake and wants you to come back to him.
Or he could just be a jackass. I vote that he is just a jackass and you should forget that he ever existed and not worry about what he does unless he does something that scares you.
Is this the ex that was controlling and verbally abusive?
I wouldn't try to obsess over it to much, really. Boys will be boys (not saying girls don't do the same things). But in all reality, he is probably a very territorial person. Though your Ex broke up with you and doesn't want to be with you, and is supposedly happy with his new girlfriend...it doesn't mean he wants another guy taking his place. Especially someone he knows that you like a lot and spend much of your time with. I think it is extremely unfair and selfish of your Ex to play with your emotions and your mind the way he is. It's probably just out of pure jealously. Don't fret, just be happy :) :)
