Hi,

I've been separated/divroced from my EX for over 2 years. We were married for 6. There were a lot of reasons we split up- he was a terrible communicator, he was a liar, he was lazy, etc. and over the years, I completely fell out of love with him. one of the big issues I had with him is that is that he didn't understand my culture and there was constantly family pressure - from my side- regarding how he acts and butting into our life. it caused issues between me and my family as well as myself and him.

What my problem is- my family still asks me questions about him and why we split up and have a hard time accepting the possibility of someone else in my life. It's annoying because I have told them EVERYTHING over and over again. I just don't want to talk about it any more- it is SO OVER and has been for SO LONG and everyone knows I'll never be back with him.

Anyway, I understand that he was part of my family and they sometimes miss him and it's weird to them not to see him but how do we all move on???? I'm the one who lived with him and I was done years ago- why can't they get over it?

Can you just say to them "Look, I'm over him - why aren't you?" and "If you want to know how he is, call him yourself. He's part of my past and I have moved on." and "I'm not explaining it to you again. Its your problem if you don't want to accept it and I don't want to hear about him anymore"

I know I sound bitchy but that would piss me off if I were in your situation. Maybe you need to be firmer with them.
