Taurus’s Ex

This topic was created in the Taurus forum by CancaGal on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 and has 13 replies.
I’d been dating my Taurus for 8 months before I asked him to make it official and we’ve been serious for more than 4 months now. Everything is like a dream. He’s sweet, loving and caring. Always concerns that he doesn’t spend enough time with me. He’s the guy that I don’t ever want to lose.

I’m his 2nd girlfriend in his entire life, and his previous relationship lasted for 4 years (on and off). He has stopped talking to his ex before we get together. They haven’t spoken for ages. Last weekend his ex called him and asked him if he remembers it was her birthday, also asked him to wish her happy birthday. My bf did wish her and told her that he was going to somewhere (my place) and then cut it off. He even mentioned that she sent him 2 messages but he didn’t read bc he didn’t want to talk to her. From what he told me, she’s with someone now. I told him that I’m not gonna misunderstand him or something, but I was scared bc she spent 4 yrs with him, and we are new. I was scared that he would choose her over me. My bf then told me that the time he has with me is the best time. His ex was the first and only girl he has ever dated before me so he assumed that’s how relationship works, until he with me and found that the relationship he had with her was shit.

I know that I’m probably just paranoid, but he still has her name as ‘Pretty Girl’ in his contact, and it hurts me.

Just want to know if he is over his ex yet, and will he be loyal to me?
The only one who knows whether hes gonna be loyal, is him.

I'd say its a good thing he is keeping it transparent and letting you know she contacted him, how he responded, etc.

But the pretty girl label on her number would annoy me too. Change that to 'stalker ex' if he REALLY doesn't want to talk to her.
Thanks for your input.

He did try to prove me that he has nothing to deal with her by asking me if I want to go thru his phone etc but I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even ask him to change her name in his contact lol. Just let him do what he thinks is right and fair to me.

I’ve always been a cool and chill girlfriend and never asked him to do anything to please my selfishness. However, would it be too much if I ask to him tell his ex that he is with someone now when she contacts him next time? She doesn’t know we are together now as he hasn’t spoken to her and last time she called he cut it off

You're teaching him a bad lesson right now...if he tells you the truth when he hears from another girl, you're gonna freak. Next time he might just not tell you.
Oh no this is the first time we bring this up. But being a cancer just makes me overthinking. I was not that freak tho. Just think that it would be better if he tells his ex that he has someone now so that she can stop contacting my bf but stay focus on hers

just be honest and tell him the "pretty girl" is hurtful. from what you've said he'll change it.

who cares what the ex thinks? it really is between you and him and besides, she seems quite brazen, perhaps saying he is with someone would cause her to double her efforts.

Hey same here.

But one thing I'm learning is that my dude WANTS me to ask him for things. So I'm acting on my selfishness and telling him what I want and need and he is stepping up to the plate each time.

After all its not fair to either of us if I wallow and feel like shit over something so small and he is in complete ignorance over it. Tell your dude the 'pretty girl' saved contact name is hurtful.

IDK but I wouldn't like to see that contact info either.

I understand. It's natural to feel that way. If I understood correctly, you didn't ask him about this or catch him in it, correct? He just told you on his own that she contacted him. Right? That is him being transparent with you, which is a good thing and something to be encouraged. Now, if you found out because you were rummaging through his phone and saw "Pretty Girl" and asked about her, that's a whole other thing.

I saw her name by accident when I borrowed his phone to make a phone call but I didn’t ask until he told me about that later.

worrying about other women is a waste of time and emotion.

if he is going to stray, no amount of trying to control the situation stop it from happening.

my guy has women throwing themselves at him all the time. his ex girlfriend even made a play for him. the other day, a woman blatantly offered him sex. i don't worry. i know the person he is. he tells me about it and we laugh at their boldness.

all you can do is feel reassured that you picked a decent guy who genuinely cares for you and cares about maintaining your relationship. if your relationship is solid, it can withstand a endless stream of thirsty women.

Then how do you know that she is the one listed under that name?

He msg me at 11:06 told me that he was coming

He told me his ex called him right before he went to my place
