my boyfriends' overprotective ex-girlfriend


Question Posted Thursday September 14 2006, 3:42 am

My boyfriend has a VERY overprotective ex-girlfriend and I really want to help him deal with it. I'm not the jealous type so I'm not really worried about her but she's really giving him a hard time and acts like she owns him. She has told a few people that they are still going out which is absolutely untrue and she also constantly asks me if I've seen him lately. She sounds really worried if I say I have and I just really want to help him cos it's ruining his life! He just wants to be left alone by her, Please reply soon. We don't know what to do about her!

Your boyfriend needs to talk to her. He needs to explain to her how he's been hearing she keeps telling people that they're dating which isn't true ; they broke up and still are broken up. And he should let her know that if she at least wants a friendship with him to still be able to talk to him and everything, then asking everybody about him and making false statements is not the way to go about it. He needs to let her know that he's not going to take it, and if she's going to be this way, he's not going to talk to her or want anything to do with her and that she needs to back off. Knowing that, hopefully she'll back off of you two a bit.

You might want to talk to her to. Let her know that they're not dating, you and him ARE. And let her know that spreading things is not going to make him like her anymore, and that he just wants some time to himself and for her to back off a little bit. And let her know you're not trying to sound harsh, but she just needs to know.

If nothing else works and gets through to this girl, the best thing to do is just ignore her as best as you can. Whenever she asks about him, change the subject or just don't answer. Whenever she spreads rumors saying their dating spread around that you two are dating, they're not and it's all lies and make sure that everyone finds out cause if she ever tells it again, obviously they'll know it's not true.

I'm sorry if I wasn't too much help, I've never really had this problem before, but I do hope I helped some! Good luck getting her off your back, haha.
