Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I have read your query carefully.The insecurity and suspicious behavior you have suggest that you don't trust your partner and according to my opinion trusting your partner is the most important part of a long successful relationship.By keeping on thinking about the past of your partner, you are missing out on the beautiful moments of your life which you can spend with your partner.
Talk to him openly about the problem you are facing rather than asking about his ex.If still you are having symptoms like low self esteem,insecurity I suggest you consult a psychiatrist for a proper counseling.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli
