    Hi,

    Do they have any ties, so for example kids or anything?

    How long has this been happening?

    No and this is my point to him, I re read my post and I felt I sounded awful and callous, I tried to amend the post because although I have been with him 6 years and she only moved out 4 years ago it was a really difficult 2 years for everyone.

    They have no children or finically committed, he says he just values her friendship as she supported him as a friend when things were tough. He got close to her children who now don’t want to know him. I’m just so frustrated, I accept the friendship but believe it should be with boundaries and he should be honest with me when they are in contact.

    I left him last week giving him the chance to go finds his unfinished business with her but he begged me to go back to him.

    Im just so confused

    Dear Debido:

    Did I understand correctly: the first two years you dated him, this other woman was living with him?

    You wrote that your boyfriend said:  “she is needy and emotionally unstable, he considers her as his best friend”-

    If he is emotionally stable, it seems incongruent to me, for an emotionally stable  person  to consider an emotionally unstable person a “best friend”-

    “Best friend”, to me, suggests a compatibility of emotional stability.
