Hi Talah- First of all, that was a very kind thing for you to do- to go visit your ex after he’d been brutally beat up. The fact that your boyfriend was ‘furious and angry’ about you doing this kind act is a huge red flag. I know you love your boyfriend, but his behavior toward you does not sound very loving. I don’t know all the details here of course, but it sounds like your boyfriend is kind of controlling and harsh. Perhaps that’s why your ex is on your mind.

Maybe you should ask yourself this: when you were dating your ex , how did he usually make you feel? If it was good, do you feel AS GOOD with your current boyfriend as you did with your ex? If the answer is no, it may be time to move on.
