My current boyfriend is iniating contact with my ex husband. They are having lengthy conversations without my being included or knowledge of. I would be able to understand if the divorce (5yrs ago) was amicable; but this guy was a nightmare! I do have two children with my ex and so we communicate (minimally) due to them. However, in no way shape or form do I want to befriend the ex. I feel as though my boyfriend has crossed a line.

Ironically my last boyfriend did the same thing with the ex husband as well (after I had broke it off).

Am I missing something here? Exes are exes for a reason. After everything with both were aware of and witness... I am feeling betrayed.

Too weird for me! If you have any insights or comments, please feel free to share.

Have you spoken with your bf, and told him, you feel he is crossing a line, right there?

I know you are asking, as am I, why two bf's would do this to you! What's to gain?

I hope your current bf, can respect and abide by your wishes, and gives you a good explanation!

I agree with you, your bf should bd "on your side", especially if he knows you had a hard time with your ex. I would feel betrayed in that situation as well.

I agree with h4me, talk to your bf and tell him that you feel uncomfortable about it.
Thanks for this!

Maybe your ex is charismatic enough to befriend your current boyfriends. His motives are a complete mystery to me...maybe find out who's in the house with his kids, manipulate them into a bad relationship with you, who knows.

I can def see their interest in getting to know him. They need to know if you make a crazy ex but beyond that, I don't think it's appropriate either.
Thanks for this!
