When an ex still wants to always talk to you?

Ok so I have this ex that claims she’s moved on and seeing someone else, however she’s always quick to reach out to me for advise and support as well as always wanting to speak with me every night before she goes to bed. I just want to know what is the rationale behind that as she claims she wants to marry the person she’s seeing.

If I were in your position, I'd just ask her why she's coming to you rather then her new guy.

@shakemeup I’ve done that and she claims she wants to catch up on our work project.

@Rogo1 sorry, man..that is pretty confusing. I don't get it either.
@Rogo1 are they still working together professionally?
Rogo1 · 36-40, M
@VeronicaJane yes we are still working together
@Rogo1 you, her and ex - all work together?
Rogo1 · 36-40, M
@VeronicaJane nope just me and her
@Rogo1 so you're the ex, but you still work together professionally.... can you ask to be reassigned to a new, or different project?
Rogo1 · 36-40, M
Yes @VeronicaJane and I had requested a transfer to another team and to stop working on the project with her but she wrote to the boss claiming I’m the only with adequate knowledge of the project and I’m the only one she’s comfortable working with so I was mandated to work with her on the project.
@Rogo1 that seems a bit awkward, perhaps....
Rogo1 · 36-40, M
Yes @VeronicaJane that’s the story of my life and that’s why when people say move on it’s not that easy.
@Rogo1 oh definitely. Sometimes it falls into the "Easier said, than done" category. Especially if an ex, with kids, or when both parties work in the same office professionally.

I get the 'quick to reach out to me for advise and support' in the professional sense. It's the wanting to speak with you every night before she goes to bed part that is the monkey wrench. Does not really seem that she actually has actually moved on.

If I might ask, the elephant in the room is -- Why is she your ex? That answer probably will better inform the calling every night part....

I think she’s just playing games
