Boyfriend Is Not Over Ex

Dear Miss Emily:
Hi, I've been dating this guy for 2.5 years -- 1 year pingponging between me and his ex, and he justified it by being asked to by his parents. 18 months ago he came back and said he's 100% over her but kept seeing her for a while. Then he introduced me to his family and, lately, over a year later, I found out that he still has her nude pictures and is planning to move to another town house in front of where she lives; although he knows i would never live there. What do i do here? Please help. I'm not comfortable with this, knowing that we will bump into her one day and he will have more chances to see her. I feel he sttill loves her but, according to him. it didnt work out because she hurt him.
---------------------------Miss Emily's advice-------------------------
It didn't work out with him and her because she hurt him, and I don't think it's going to work out with you and him for the same reason. Any guy who would get a townhouse in front of the woman he dated, keeps nude pictures of her on his computer (and you think he's still not over) doesn't have the mettle to to be the stand-up man you should want in your life. There may be some alluring things about him, but security is not what you will get if you continue this relationship. In order for him to be the right man for you, he'd have to sever all ties with this woman, and prove to you, everyday, that he is committed to you on all levels. So far, he has not shown that he is capable of that. You'd be smart to let him go under these circumstances.
