Does he know this bothers you?

Usually in a circumstance like this, it boils down to the fact that you can either accept things as they are or you can refuse to tolerate it - by leaving

He wants you to do something about it. Like what? Leave him? Have a fist fight with his ex? Sorry but it sounds like he is going to continue to choose her. You deserve to be with someone who only wants to be with you.

Welcome to the board sweettrisha35,


There are way, way worse things than being alone.

Not wanting to be alone should NEVER be a reason why you're in a relationship with someone.
