I'm calm (I don't think I gave the impression that I was upset or anything), and I never claimed that I knew what you told your boyfriend or ex.
That's why I'm ASKING about what the details were, and I'm asking if the case was that you didn't tell him that your ex tried to hook up with you. You don't have to share those details if you don't want to.
But if I was your boyfriend, I would find it unusual that you feel okay with telling me that you talked with your ex, but didn't mention all of the details. As I said earlier, the only details that conversation SHOULD have had is him trying to talk about your old relationship/old feelings, and you shutting him down; nothing else. But then again, you said that those details (whatever they may be) are 'your business'.....something in itself that would cause worry to any normal person in a relationship.
You also said that the conversation gave you 'closure'. I would find that worrisome if I was your boyfriend (assuming you even told him that). The word 'closure' implies that you had unresolved feelings for this ex of yours, which no boyfriend should have to learn about in a legitimate relationship.
My ex trying to get with me and that I was committed to my current relationship was all my bf needed to know (he also knew that I was committed to him because I took him to the wedding when I could have EASILY not invited him since the wedding was in my hometown and not the town we lived in).
Maybe you don't have any thing that is "your business" while you are in a relationship but I do (he was my bf not my husband). Going into detail about all aspects of your past relationship(s) (which were the parts of the conversation that I left out) is just not smart in my opinion; however, if you do it with your woman then more power to you. I personally do not want to know all the ugly details of a bf's past relationship.
In regard to closure, my ex and I had a really bad break up. A break up that we never discussed. Finally discussing the break up, hearing a sincere apology, and saying that it was great but that's not what I want was closure for me and let him know that I had truly moved on. Maybe that's not something you would need after 4.5 year relationship, but it was something that I did.
