Men, and ex girlfriends they "used" to love. your opinion?
Posted: 1/9/2008 1:45:16 PM
I started dating this guy who had been broken up from his ex for 6 months or so; and him and his ex were still on good terms(mutual split). They were friends and I was okay with that, then he told me he still loved her (as a friend) so he says. Is it weird that they talk everyday, and text back and forth more than 20x a day? Or the fact that when she comes over, he asks me to leave because it would be "awkward"? Shouldn't he be able to talk to her in front of me if something more wasn't going on? Am I wrong in thinking there's something wrong with this picture? His sex drive has even gone down a lot too... what do you think?

Definitely something wrong with this picture. Time to go looking for something better.

Trust your gut.

I'm ok with being friends with ex's BUT I would NOT be ok with asking the new girlfriend (or boyfriend) to leave. who's the priority here?

he also keeps telling me to quit being so jealous... I didn't figure that was jealousy.

Doesn't sound too good to me. Sounds like they're getting back together.

If bf asked me to leave because his ex was comming over I think I would leave. More so, I dont think I would come back. I think I would just feel too "awkward". That is my first impression. That is just me and it would depend on the situation. What is the reason for her comming over. If they have some unfinished things they need to clear up (children, division of property or other assests, support) then it is proably none of my business and would let them do their things. If it was just to get together and chat and talk about the good old days, that would make me feel awkward.

You are attractive.
I personally would be saying goodbye.
He isnt ready for you, and you deserve to be treated better.

there was love, no marriage, no kids, and no assets to divide. She was coming over to "visit" as far as I was told.

That's messed up. It should not be awkward for you. It should be awkward for HER.

I was fine with her coming over, just not the part where I had to leave... He said it would be awkward for him and her.

There was another time I was at work and decided to come over after work. She had just left, I left the bed unmade, and when I got there, he was in the shower, candles were lit, and the bed was made. I could smell her perfume... which was gross I might add...

I don't know.

Sometimes a person can remain best friends with a former lover.... but his lack of sex drive makes it seem strange.

Texting 20+ times a day?? I'm telling you right now that is bad news, because I know. Sounds REAL fishy to me. As someone mentioned earlier, you are attractive. I think you should kick this one to the curb and move on. It's quite clear he's not over her....

I was thinking well, they could be exactly what he was saying UNTIL I read that there were candles lit and her perfume smell was in the bedroom. That to me is a sign of sex. You should have another boyfriend in addition to him to even things up. True, you have no actual proof yet but it sure doesn't look good.

Sweetie? Trust me on this. You need to back away from this fellow real fast.
Uncomfortable for your b/f and his ex? Tis obvious he does not care if it is uncomfortable for you! And the made bed, candles? Run girlie! You are being played!

It depends on how the person is otherwise.

I know a lot of people who text like crazy.

I also know other people that occasionally suffer from "early onset love texting".... it depends on who they are. (And possibly how they're smiling.... )

Though the sex drive thing seems like evidence enough.


Edit:

Wait-- you had to leave because it would be awkward for them!?
I have a female best friend. This would never happen. I might go hang out with her alone if you didn't fit in with the gang, but I have a hard time picturing myself being with someone that would be weird around my friends anyhow.... I guess it all depends, but usually the kind of person I like would fit in with my group.

Red Flag 1: He asks you to leave when she comes over
Red Flag 2: She departs..he is in the shower..candles are lit..bed is made

OMG Are you serious? Is this post a joke? Because I refuse to believe anyone is is that thick. I mean does he have to have sex with her in front of you for you to "get it".

Not trying to be mean but sometimes we have the answers to our own questions....along with solutions...

OP, you aren't the only inkwell that he's dipping his pen into.
You need to boot his ass to the curb and move on.
If it's your house/apartment, toss his ass out.

Well I would say it is time to move on young lady. Find a guy that is into you and leave this one alone, as he does not have his priorities straight.

Yeah, doesn't sound good. Usually the other way around in my experience. Because I had joint custody of my son there was an entire walk-in closet full of his stuff at his father's that needed to be cleaned out.

I made 'an appointment' a few weeks in advance because I wanted to go shopping after I'd done an inventory for back to school clothes. His father had even said he'd prefer I did it because I knew sizes and such better. He'd take the rest to Goodwill.

His girlfriend showed up with a crisis the night before and 'locked' herself in the bedroom because she was too upset over my presence to even come out and watch t.v. etc. She insisted I leave so I said whatever and just went shopping from memory.
