My (27f) bf (44M) found out his ex wife had sex with his best friend. I am bothered by how much it affects him?

r/

My boyfriend was out with his buddies drinking. When one of them told him that it was a known secret while he was married that before he got with his wife she had sex with his best friend.
He said he doesn’t care but I see his attitude shifted. We haven’t had sex fir 10 days and when we tried he couldn’t maintain an election.
I understand its his past but I am very bothered by how much a past event affects him.

How can I talk to him without seeking jealous?

    Ummmm-you are 27 f, he is 44 m? What could you possibly have in common? Am sorry his toy is broken, and it will run out of energy looooong before you’re ready.

    Hey fellow age gap girlie. My best advice would be to directly approach it. He’s more than likely upset over the betrayal from his best friend rather than any actual feelings about the ex wife. As far as that intrupting intamcy that could have triggered him to think that or he just can’t get it out of his head. The best thing to do is to talk openly and let him know your here for him to talk judgement free. He’s likely keeping it all in. Also if it would help you feel better you can provide reassurance that you wouldn’t do anything like that

    He’s definitely more pissed at his best friend than his ex-wife. It’s an absolute betrayal. It’s understandable a scorned ex-wife would try and do something like that the fact that the friend followed through with it is disgusting. I would just try and comfort him and do cool stuff with him because he just lost his best friend.
