---- What kind of "friend" is this..? (http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-yeasobe-support-a.html)

My ex and I broke up a few months back, and remained friends. Well, I met this other guy, and my ex acted happy for me and said he didn't have a problem with it at all. But recently, he's been acting INSANE. He got mad at me for not telling him this guy was coming to see me and decided to end our friendship, saying I "wasn't a real friend and kept too many secrets from him". I've tired talking this through with him and told him that just because we're friends, doesn't mean I have to tell him every detail about my life, but he maintains that I do, and he's so jealous of this other guy that it scares me. So I honestly don't know what I should do--should I give him some time and then try to be his friend again? he lied to me about another girl to save his own butt when we were still together and claims I pushed him into lying, yet he says I've lied to him by not telling him everything.

Just fucking leave him.  It's the type of friend you dont need.

If he's acting like that he's not your friend.

Its understandable, wouldn't you be upset if you knew your ex was seeing someone else and you weren't fully over them, or if your friend was always hanging out with someone else and didn't have the time for you?

But he does seem like he is being a bit of an arse, give him time to cool down, and if he makes the effort to fix things (without lecturing you) then maybe he is worth keeping as a friend.

Well he obviously still has feelings for you if he's getting mad at you for seeing the guy.  When he said he's happy for you he's obviously just trying to be a nice guy and think about your feelings and so that you can continue being friends.
