But one woman's boyfriend wasn't just bringing his ex up all the time - he was regularly complimenting her to his new girlfriend, which naturally left her feeling confused about how serious he was taking their partnership.
"He's said that his ex is attractive almost every time I've seen him," she wrote on Mumsnet, sharing that "they have two children together so he has to see her regularly.".
Personally I'd find it weird to refer to an ex in that way (more than once, definitely – every time – most definitely).
'My boyfriend keeps giving his ex uncomfortable compliment – I hate it' When you're in a relationship, there are a few golden rules, and one of the main ones is not bringing up former partners too often.
She shared that she'd been with him for two months, saying that she knew it was "early days," but she was "impatient" and didn't want to "waste her time" on someone who wasn't serious about her.
