Should I talk to my bf about this?

Anon in case he's on here.

I will try to keep this as brief as possible.

Background History:
Me and my ex ended on VERY bad terms. I was with him for 2yrs. He used to physically and mentally abused me. Eventually I felt enough was enough so I left him.

After I left him he then decided to turn all psycho on me and was doing the whole "if I can't have you then no-one can" routine... started stalking me, threatening me... etc etc. Eventually I had to report him to the police. I haven't heard from him since which was 2 and a half years ago.. when I began to date my current boyfriend (who is an absolute diamond btw).

So today me and my bf was doing a quick supermarket shop. At the end of the shopping aisle I saw my ex bf's mother.

She literally just stood there and just started giving me this evil glare. For ages! I went to the next aisle and then she followed me! Again just standing there staring at me. (this was from a distance btw.. not in my face or anything). I felt really uncomfortable and shocked too since I left all traces of him in the past, years ago.

I then went over to the till to pay. Again, she casually followed me and was standing just a few meters away, glaring at me. My bf was with me the whole time and I'm surprised he didn't even notice the woman. He doesn't know who she was btw.

Anyway this might sound silly, but it's kind of 'haunted' me throughout the whole day. I feel really upset for some reason. Like I've done something wrong.

So what i am basically asking is that should I talk to my boyfriend about how I am feeling. I really don't know if it would be worth telling him. What kind of reply am I supposed to expect in return from him.

Don't tell your boyfriend unless you really, really trust him. It can really hurt if he offhandedly uses it against you in argument or something (men always find a way), talk to your mum instead.

wow I didn't even know i got any replies.

Anyway I will probably just bring it up with him today when he get's home.



Of course I trust him. I would rather tell him than my mum... My mum would go over the top and hunt her down or something

Thanks for all the replies guys!

You stupid whore.

Just be all like "Hello boyfriend, [tell him what happened]. Give me a hug to make me feel better."

Sorted.

EDIT: TWO people gave me negative rep for that? You don't like hugs?

Thanks for proving my point, not sure how whore is related to anything I said.

On topic: I had a similar experience, I thought I could trust my current boyfriend at the time with telling him. However after a year or so he changed, and whenever we would fight he would say.. I'm to blame, I'm from a violent background, I drag it around with me. It got me feeling terrible. I didn't say you shouldn't tell yor boyfriend, I said you should only tell him if you are REALLY sure you trust him.
