'My boyfriend can't stop talking about his ex'

My guy doesn't know when to shut his mouth as he keeps talking about his ex-girlfriend. I don't wish to know how beautiful or how annoying she was. I just want to have a boyfriend who connects with me. But sadly, he is yet to get over the connection he once had with his ex.

Dear Dinara,
You need to tell this guy that he has to get over with his ex. She has to remain in his past. The present is you. May be he had no time to get over his ex and the heartbreak as he immediately got into a relationship with you. So for a while let him be. But if you have no patience then it is better you dump him. Both of you need to take time off each other for a while. But even after doing this if he still remains in his ex mode, then it clearly signals that he still pines for her. In this case it is better that you are not in his scheme of things.

Diana will solve it!
