Lite relationship advice for truckers

Trashing the ex!
Dear Carolyn,
My new boyfriend constantly runs down his former girlfriend. He talks trash about her and compares everything I do to how she did it. I’ve never met the poor woman but it makes me a little uneasy. Why can’t he just enjoy my good side without having to tell me how terrible she was? Do you think he’s protesting a bit too much?
Janet
Dear Janet,
Pay close attention to this. How he talks about her is how he will talk about you. If you are okay with that—carry on. If not, I’d scoot out of there as fast as you can. Even if she was the wicked witch of the west, she’s not there to defend herself. He seems somewhat obsessed with her; flaws and all. Doth he protest too much? Dunno. But he’s certainly no gentleman.

i really dont want to be ugly, so i will say this as nice as i can. there is a reason she isnt with him anymore. maybe he was an absuive control freak?
Probably right there!
My guess he still likes her.
I see it diferently than the 3 previous posts. The more you are hurt the more some have to talk about it, vent! Why do women ALWAYS want to justify like…”I wonder what he did to make her be so mean?” Sometimes just being there is enough and this guy may have been “rode hard and put up wet” as we say here in Texas. As the founder of the Christian Singles Registry I have talked to single guys 15 a day for 16 years! I have heard it all and ANYTHING I hear about women from hell I believe!
In my experience with my guy friends that talk trash about an ex the more I realize they can’t let go of the hurt. It has nothing to do with who did what. They let the past continue to haunt thier future. None of them are in healthy relationships becuase of it. He may need some counseling.
