The statue of Limitation

I recently had a heated argument with my husband of 16 months about a relationship I had 25 years ago.  Issue is that he feels that I have portrayed him for not disclosing this information of this man who he played pop warner  football with as a youth he says that the family of this man was like family to him yet we didn't invite them to our wedding.  The relationship was in the past and insignificant since it was so long ago....He now thinks I am withholding my past from and states his street light is on...is it me or is that crazy ?

  • Someone you dated 25 years ago.... what? Who cares? Seriously?

  • It is statute of limitation.  I am assuming you mean your husband is seeing red flags because you didn't tell him about a relationship from 25 years ago.  Then, you say he is upset someone didn't get invited to th wedding.  Why didn't your husband invite him if he wanted him invited?  I think I missed something, but on the surface it seems your husband is overreacting.

    No I think she is saying that her husband is feels betrayed because of a previous relationship she had 25 years ago with someone he played pop warner football with ?  Her husband also claimes to be close to this other man's family, however she is wondering how close they  can be if they weren't even invited to the wedding ? 

    At least that is what I think she is saying.

    That's what I got from her post too, stw.

    Your H is overreacting. 25 years ago? He needs to get over it.

  • It sounds like you're not over your ex, and your H is understandably concerned about your faithfulness.
  • I appreciate the responses and I apologize for the slang terms such as street lights which is a term my husband uses when he feels that something is not right.  My husband I feel is over reacting and there is trouble in paradise. :/
  • Yes he is over reacting and it unfairly putting you in a terrible position. 
  • This man who then was a boy/teen wasn't my ex anything he is someone I had a date with at the age of 19, a hamburger no more no less...My husband wants to fight wants to get a reaction wants to be the victim at every turn of the imagination.

  • Your husband sounds manipulative.  Don't let it work.  You have nothing  to feel bad about and you need to shut down your husband's hysterics.  Trust me, if you give into this stupid tantrum he is having, he will pull this crap everytime he wants some thing from you. 
  • Does he often try to start ridiculous fights with you?

    I can't fathom giving a damn who my H dated that long ago.

  • I suggest a class. Either creative or business writing, at a community college near you. I think it could really help your situation :-)

  • Well if you've given your H no reason not to trust you, maybe HE's the one who's not trustworthy.

    Maybe you should, um, turn YOUR street light on. And be sure to let your H know it's on, so he knows just how it feels to have your, uhhh, partner's, um, street light on. Casting light upon the sidewalk from above as such.

    Word.

  • How many times did you f*ck your husband's friend?

  • It was 25 years ago I didn't know they were friends he is making it seem like it was recent it really was 25 years ago at 19.  You maybe be making light but I am desperate for an objective answer.
  • You and your Husband need marriage counseling.

     

     

  • Well there is obviously something else going on here if he is still freaking out about it and it's something as minor as one date.

    You two need counseling and if that doesn't help you need attorney's.

  • Tell your H the milk is clean. If he is the kind of guy who wants to pick a fight over something that happened 25 years ago then you are pretty much up the creek with a donkey (slang for jackass).
  • Ask your husband to provide you with a list of every girl he hung out with, every girl he has eaten a meal with, every girl he's talked on the phone with, every girl he's dated, and also to provide details of every interaction, conversation and flirtation.

    Yes, it's absolutely him that's crazy.   It's not you.    Just tell him to get over it.   If he can't get over it, then you shouldn't be in a relationship with him.    I can't imagine my husband being upset that I got a hamburger with someone so long ago.

    Is your husband a vegetarian, perhaps?

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
