Does he still like his ex?

[Anonymous]

So me and my boyfriend have been dating for some months now. Him and his ex broke up a year ago but the relationship was very short……

Anyways his ex ended up following him on social media and he followed her back about a month ago. He views every story she posts. She recently sent him a funny video through social media and he responded with laughing faces. Then she followed up with a conversation asking him how he’s doing etc and he responded asking how she was doing…

This is how the convo went

Her - how are you

Him - I’m good, can’t complain how are you?

Her- I’m good I’m glad the weather is nice

Him- I know it’s about time lol

Should I be worried any advice?

I think you are going to need to bring this worry up with your boyfriend. It's valid for you to feel the way you do. You aren't sure what to make of this. I'm not sure what to make of it either (from what you wrote here).

So it doesn't sound like he was hiding anything from you, but did you two talk about this? You need to, if he's going to be friends with his ex.

It could be something to worry about, but if he's being transparent about it, then It's unlikely to be nefarious. But you need to get him to look you in the eye and assure you that "of course he is over his ex" and proceed to explain... whatever he has to explain.

You aren't wrong for asking. He owes you an assurance on this point. Its a valid concern you have. I think only asking him about this will get you a satisfactory answer.

I think it’s definitely a concern. Keeping in contact with an ex is never a good sign (unless kids are involved). It’s usually a slippery slope, especially how his ex seems to be initiating a lot. It’s disrespectful to you tbh. We can’t tell if your boyfriend still has feelings for his ex but if this keeps going then it’s not going to end well.

He chose you.
