What's with today?

On Relationships:

 

Future Husband is traveling with a female friend, without me!

Hi all,

First off, I've been engaged for about a year to be married this August.  My fiance is a wonderful guy, but he tends to have mostly female friends.  Anyways, he is leaving tomorrow to go on a weeklong vacation with one of his oldest friends... CJ.  They dated about 20 years ago, and he lost his virginity to her.  They both moved to America sometime after that (both are English) and got back in touch about 10 years ago and have been friends every since.

Anyways, he booked this trip to go visit her, and they are going to see a couple of concerts of an English band, and I am SOOO JEALOUS!!!  I try to be rational and think, would I be mad if she were a dude?  (probably not) or if he hadn't slept with her years and years ago (mmmm still maybe would) or if she weren't single?

What do I say to him before he goes???

  • What the motherfuckingfuck. People like this can't be for real, right?  I wouldn't say sh!t to him before he left, I'd just hand him the ring and leave.

  • Um. what?

    Crazy!

    "What do I say to him before he goes???"  

    You say, "Don't come back."  

  • My bf has a friend like this (except for the travel together part). Know what? Now when they spend time together, they invite me ... they know it could be awkward or not look right otherwise and she respects our relationship.

    This would not fly in my world.

  • I'm confused with some of the responses. I thought having female friends was okay by most women on The Nest?

  • Female friends, sure.  Female friends you slept with, maybe.  Female friends you slept with and are now taking cozy twosome vacations with, hell no.

  • Yeah, I just had one of those "duh" moments. Sorry.

  • What in the hell is wrong with people?

     Erm, my fiance is going on vacation with his ex-gf and I wasn't invited. Any good movies out that I can see while the're gone? Or should I just keep working on the DIY invitations?

  • Yeah that would NOT be happening in my house.

    There are some things that people put up with that really amaze me.

    I have nothing against female friends, but there will be no cozy vacations taken together. And the fact that she's asking what she should say...amazing.

    She needs to just buy the box of condoms for him and pack it in his luggage so he doesn't forget. LOLOL

     

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

    Teehee!

    I'm not really super okay with female friends that we aren't both friends with - I just find it odd. Neither of us really has friends that we wouldn't hang out with as a couple anyway, regardless of gender, so it's a non-issue. I'm not saying we don't hang out solo with our friends, we do, but there are also occasions where everyone gets together. I wouldn't be okay with H having friends (guys or girls) who were purposely kept away from me, who I never met, who we didn't hang out with together, etc. That would just be weird. 

    Going on vacation with someone you used to sleep with...the idea of it just makes me laugh. Because if I didn't laugh I'd have to slap someone.
