Boyfriend contacted his ex after we had a fight. Advice?
Me and my boyfriend have been in a long distance relationship for a year now.
Last week we were arguing pretty badly and I almost didn't come down to see him this month as planned. We decided to work it out and now here I am. Today he's been in work while I've been at home. He asked me to check his e-mail a few hours ago as he recieved one but his phone wasn't working. I did and I accidently clicked on his sent messages, there was one addressed to his Ex girlfriend (just a few days ago, the night before I was due to come see him) despite the horrible feeling I had I clicked it and it read "Still alive? Me too". - she hasn't replied yet.
This particular ex he hasn't been involved with for 3 whole years and I can't fathom why he would suddenly contact her out of the blue? It stings, especially seeing as we were on really bad terms when he did. I'm honestly really hurt by all this. I know for myself I don't keep contact with any of my ex's and they have no understandable ties to one another - no kids, no house etc. Could it be he still holds a torch for her?
I'm sat here feeling a bit lost and whether to confront him about it, as I know in a way I've snooped too. Has anyone been through something similar or have any advice for me? It would be really appreciated :(
