A post disappeared last night
Not sure if anyone else caught it. A woman was complaining that her husband dated a girl in high school (over 10 years ago), and while the two of them have no contact, the girl's parents send him birthday/Christmas cards and like him to keep them updated on his life. She told him that he was no longer allowed to talk to them, but they still send the cards. Two a year.
I told her that I didn't really see that much of a problem with it and asked if she trusted her H. Anyone else respond, or was mine enough to make her DD?
Re: A post disappeared last night
Someone called her a biitch and she got defensive. I'm guessing that's what caused the DD.
I do wonder what the HS girlfriend thinks about it all - I'd be weirded out if my parents still kept in touch with my old boyfriend.
You do have a point, Bowies.
I wonder what we don't know about this. Like, was this ex his first? Did he do that lame "one who got away" schtick about the ex that some guys do to try to get a pity f*ck, and then he ended up marrying the one who fell for the line? Is the woman who posted one of those weirdos who still harbors feelings for all her exes, or imagines that they're all pining for her? I want more crazy details, and I'll probably never get them.
But yeah, I'm imagining my parents keeping in touch with my first long-term ex. That's completely weird and inappropriate.
I live in my ex's parents' house lol. They live in Hawaii. BF and I went to visit them and stayed with them for the week we were there.
We just always remained close even though my ex is now engaged and living in a different state.
I'm good friends with my my high school BF too. We just out grew our relationship, went our separate ways for a little bit, and reconnected about 5 or 6 years ago. He was the only person outside my immediate family that came to my college graduation.
This. Although, all of the questions Kuus brought up go through my mind, too. But I cannot imagine being so upset about a high school relationship from ten years ago. I just can't.
The last post I saw was the OP claiming our "so what" answers were due to hormones. And then she dd'd.
I agree with Kuus that it's a little weird for the family of ex's to keep in contact, but in this case the girl was pissed about a holiday card (not even from the ex!) and needed to just get over it.
