She wrote: “Am I unreasonable to get upset that BF talks to his ex-wife every day?

“Started a new relationship two months ago. Everything is going great but he told me out of the blue that his ex-wife calls him every day, they were together for 10 years but broke up 4 years ago after a very awkward breakup.

“He doesn’t think there’s anything odd about that as he says they’re friends now and nothing else is going on between them, his ex has been with her partner since they broke up… he seems to be friends with a lot of his.” Ex partner.

“Am I unreasonable to be upset and bothered by this?”

Dozens of people have responded to the woman’s post, sharing their thoughts and advice on her situation.

Some people didn’t see it as a bad thing but encouraged the woman to decide if it would be an issue throughout their relationship.

One person said: “After two months, you really can’t monitor his phone calls. BUT if that doesn’t suit you as a partner, move on.”

Another replied: “You could look at it on a positive note – if he’s friends with a lot of his exes it’s unlikely he’s a complete w****r. However, if you’re the jealous type, he’s not the partner for you.”

A third shared: “How would you prefer their relationship to look like? Exes are an uncomfortable reality of the dating world in general, I’m sure we’d all prefer they just didn’t exist, but they always will.

“While I agree this is unusual, I think the alternative (at each other’s throats) would be far worse.

“I can understand why you’re uncomfortable, but it’s a strong indicator that he’s a decent guy. Can’t you just join in?”

Others didn’t like the man’s behavior at all, as a fourth wrote: “Wouldn’t be for me. I wouldn’t mind if they were friendly, but calling someone every day feels a bit much (unless a person is particularly lonely or needs help support, which doesn’t sound like it, even if the ex-wife should have more suitable people to lean on for its own sake).”

Another proclaimed: “When there are no kids involved I find it weird being so close to an ex. I couldn’t be with someone like him.”

“I couldn’t take it. Neither of them let go. Leave it,” advised another user.
