The truth is, when he is emotional about an ex, it is hard to move your relationship with him forward.
He sees the ex as a part of his life, and with feelings running deep, his love for said ex makes it hard for him to let go.
This means that his emotional attachment is split between you and the ex.
This is an ex factor that is a tough road to travel.
You probably thought that once you got into a relationship with him, his feelings for his ex eventually pass.

No matter how much he denies it, love for his ex persists within him.
Stretches of time seemingly pass without any sign of his attachment to his ex, until you discover that he has been surreptitiously watching her on social media or texting her and rapidly deleting the thread after the conversations are done.

The ex factor was there when you thought it was finally behind you.
It doesn’t go away, no matter how much it feels like it has.
Unresolved emotional issues aren’t resolved by diving into yet another intimate relationship.
Time and space is needed for him to come to terms with his emotions and work on fixing the issues.
