He brought up his ex girlfriend and he get upset with me for not getting over it.. why?

[Anonymous]

My husband brought up is ex a lot some months ago and I'm still not over it. I was hurt and he never seemed to care. Today I brought it up to him because I just wanted to know if he still has feelings for her. He got mad at me and told me that he wants space. He didn't want to talk for a whole month. So he basically abandon me and his two kids. I don't understand why he got so mad at me.

A person's past should be kept in the past. The past helped them to become who they are in the present. Holding someone's past over their head feels like being in prison and would drive anyone crazy. I don't know what he did, but if he is loving to you and has not shown you any reason to doubt his loyalty or dedication to you or your kids, allowing your jealousy for things he did before he even met you to get the best of you is not fair.

Alternatively, if he still maintains a relationship with this woman and you have reason to believe that he may be having an affair with her or something like that, then you have every reason to demand an explanation.

Regardless, him storming out of the house and not wanting to talk for a whole month is infantile. Two married adults should be able to talk through anything. A few hours to calm down is reasonable. There is no reason to leave for a month! Do you believe he is having an affair?

I agree totally

He got mad because you called him out on it, and he still has feelings for her.
