Hello all,

I have fallen in love with a man. Our relationship is amazing, we have been together almost 6 months but we have a couple of issues.

1) He has been seperated for 2.5 years but I feel he was not "really" seperated. He would still attend his ex's family functions (even after we met, he went to her dad's birthday party). They still did christmas and birthdays together. He still was buying her birthday gifts. Does this sound like someone who has moved on? When I talk to him about it, he is defensive and has made it clear that he will not "leave" the ex-family.

2) When these issues arise, he is very defensive. I feel he argues like my 4 year old daughter. If I say "I feel hurt because I feel you don't care about my feelings with regards to your ex", his response will be "I feel hurt that you don't care how I feel about my ex family". Is this relationship doomed?

This guy is wonderful when things are good, but when it's bad, it's really bad.

Advice?

Thank you!
