Why does my ex still talk to my mom?

[Anonymous]

Me and my ex broke about 8 months ago and he still talks to my mom; I find it a bit weird. They were cool with one another but they never had that type of relationship where they talk a lot. I recently seen my ex to help me move out of my apartment and I told him that we should both move on and keeping in touch with each others parents isn’t going to help us move on and he agreed yet he still contacts her. My mom is a little confused as well because they never had that good kind of relationship. Why is he still contacting her when he agreed that we shouldn’t talk to each other parents? I’m getting annoyed since I’m still in the process of moving on.

It's possible that your ex still has a friendly relationship with your mom, or that he just feels more comfortable keeping in contact with your mom despite your history together. It might also be that he's not 100% over the breakup and wants to keep in touch with your family in some way. However, if it's making you uncomfortable or delaying your healing process, you could ask your mom to respectfully set boundaries with your ex and let you know if he tries to stay in touch with her. Remember, your relationship is between you and your ex, and not your family.

Perhaps he Really Misses Not Only You-----But Your Mom. It Happens. He Clearly Has Not Moved on as fast As You. There is Some Emotions Here, dear. Tell Mom to Keep it Light. xxoo

It might be a "trick" to "show/prove" your Mom that was YOUR FAULT for the break up, and she might try to convince you to give him "another chance", be careful to not fall for it, just do some "digging/spying" of your own and see what he is up to, and if its up to No Good, then just open your Mom's eyes.

If a guy still talks to his ex’s mom, does he still like his ex or could it be that he’s just wants to be cordial with his ex’s mom?

Sounds like a possible scenario while dealing with a manipulative person.

Sorry , maybe I have a suspicious mind , but I'm suspect of his motives , its possible its just friendly banter or he fancies your mother , but I tend to think he sees it as a way of getting to you..

I'd confront him about it.

That's odd. He must be still interested in you. I still talk to my ex's mom but we've become very close friends a long time ago, it's genuine.

[Asker]

It could be genuine but I have a feeling it’s not. I just don’t understand as to why he’s keeps talking to her when we’re both trying to move on still

[nolookingbackx]

Seems like he is struggling to move on and doesn't want you to move on either.

[Asker]

Should I talk to him about it?

[nolookingbackx]

Yes, it sounds right if it bothers you.
