My Boyfriend is always talking about his ex-girlfriends, and it makes me feel bad. I haven't told him because I don't want to hurt his feelings. What do I do?

It's nice that you are considering your boyfriend's feelings. But don't you think that you deserve to be treated the same way with your boyfriend considering your feelings?

I hate it when guys start talking about their exes and stuff like that because it kind of makes you feel like they're still into them or that they're comparing you to them. I'm guessing you feel somewhere along those lines too. That's why you should tell him. Don't worry about hurting his feelings. It's not fair that your feelings get thrown down just because of him. Your feelings still matter too. And when you tell him, be sure to be specific into why you feel that way and why you want him to stop.

If your boyfriend truly cares about you, he'd apologize and at least put in effort to try to stop or something like that. If he thinks that you're just being paranoid or whatever, then he's a turd! Because you are not being paranoid! He's the one who's being ignorant to your feelings and no one in your position should ever have their feelings disrespected. Plus being paranoid would be by getting overly jealous and stalking him in fear of him cheating on you with his exes. You're probably not doing that (I hope), so don't worry if you think that it'll come off as paranoid. And, like I said, if he thinks that you are coming off that way, he's the one with the problem.

Do they have kids?
If they don't then they have no reason to be in contact.
That kind of stuff makes me very angry

I agree, totally disrespectful. Even if they have kids, he should be aware of other people's feelings...

Unfortunately, for this relationship to survive, its time for some tough love here. You are going to have to tell him that you don't want to hear about his past anymore than he does yours. This usually signals that he has nothing to talk about so he brings them up in your face and while admirable to a certain extent, you don't like it nor need it so you need to tell him and whatever happens is probably going to happen anyway for the better or worse.  Good luck
