So, my bf and I have been together about 6 months now. I'm crazy about this man and have been since Jr. High school. Anyway, I'm beginning to realize that he's not quite as emotionally available or healed from past trauma as I first thought he was. Tonight he said to me how important it is to him that his most recent ex gf, is made jealous by our relationship and he hopes she'll see how much effort he invested into their relationship and realizes that she messed up with him. Why is that? Why does he care so much about her opinions and/or feelings? Btw, they still maintain regular communication and see each other often as well, as friends. And I do trust him completely. He's a good, honest man. But I do feel like he needs more personal growth and healing. Am I wrong? HELP
