Does this annoy you?

That would annoy me as well.

I would think they're still hung up on the person.

Yeah, it wouldn't sit well with me

I would be annoyed.

To play devil's advocate regarding the particular situation you mentioned, he may be attempting to screen out women who would have an issue with him working with his ex. Otherwise, I cannot think of a good reason for him to bring it up.

Yeah it would probably be a flag for me. I remember when I tried to start dating (way too soon) after my ex broke my heart, I would bring him up on dates. "Oh you do _____ for a living? My ex did that too!". I actually cringe now to think about it, lol. And I wondered why those guys didn't call me again.

Yea it would annoy me and I agree it would be a red flag.

Yeah, I used to bring up exes more when I was younger but now I really don't. I'm still friends with a few and I'd mention that at some point but not for a while. It isn't important and also there are some things that I just don't want to talk about much anymore, especially with a new guy.

I'd be weirded out by a guy dropping his ex's name like that so early into things.

Yes.

Yes that's annoying. You made the right decision.
