Yeah, this one sounds like a blow-off to me...

I've been known to tear into my girlfriend's ex-bf's Gordon Gekko style... that usually does the job for me.

Dude will get over it. Your gal's phone has an "Accept Calls from Phonebook only" sorta option, right? Tell her to use that.
If he returns again, your gal can just tell him to get the hell out of her life again. Hopefully, he will get the hint.

If he goes postal and tries to harm you/her, just kick his ass.

yeah ok, don't do anything. You better make sure that crying didn't get your girl all excited! She might be thinking, wow, he's crying like that over me? My current man (you) doesn't show me his feelings like that! And the next thing you know it's Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Being crushed by Buildings!!!!! :p

You need to "man up." I would ask for his number, call it from her cell phone and unload on the guy... say "don't call here again" etc. You get the idea. You have got to show him that things between him and her are over and his little boo-hoo incident certainly didn't help at all. *I just thought of this line....I bet it's been used 10 THOUSAND times though but it's news to me* Tell him to "break it off or get beat up."

seriously, the best thing that both of you can do is to not even acknowledge his existence. tell her not to pick up his phone calls ever again, never answer the door if he comes by, don't even make eye contact if you see him on the street. it will actually help him come to terms with it because he won't have any way to tell himself that he still has a chance. resist the temptation to do the jealous BF routine, because it will only convince him that her new BF is an "asshole" and she would be better off with him.

Folks, the above is what really works. But people like to do the macho get-in-the-guy's-face thing since it's much more exciting and full of testosterone-fueled drama.

If you just want the fastest, most effective solution, do what thomsbrain said.

Do you whine like this when you're with your gf? If so, I don't think you have a prayer of keeping her.

that's what I want to know too. More to this story than meets the eye. Bet she's digging the extra attention and won't admit it. Girls are funny like that.

If she made it clear enough she had a new bf then he likely wouldn't be coming around this second time. Sorry dude, but it's true.

Agreed. She needs to tell him that its over not to visit since theres nothing left to talk about...

EDIT: ok nevermind then, just relax, your girl is doing everything she can.

I've been with my current gf since July of this year and things are going great. We had the best summer ever and travelled to many places. School has started so our lives are more routine now but still see each other a few times week + phone calls daily.

I am on an internship while she is studying and lives in res. She called me on Sunday and told me that her ex-bf came for a suprise visit. He wanted to meet her so she met her in the library for two hours.

The ex basically tried to beg her to come back to him and be his gf again. Obviously, my gf told him that things are over and you blew all of your chances and that he should forget about her. The guy then cried for one hour to beg her before she got fed up and left. She also told me that the guy started to call her often and wanted to talk to her.

So..what do you think I should do now? She is very annoyed by him too.

Update 1:
Oh, she told me that he calls her about 10 times a day!!!

Update 2:
She just told me that he is coming to school again to visit her after work. WTF is wrong with that loser!

You should do what ever is necessary to be there to meet him and have a nice friendly chat. It's obvious your girl is desperately wanting you to step in and handle this situation.

1. Tell here to stop recieving his calls immediately, and block his number if possible
2. Meet the guy and tell him she doesn't want to see him, and any further communication will be through you
3. If he refuses or gets the least bit cocky, knock his F$%$ing teeth out
