      @shelby_button 2 месяца назад +36

      Based on one part of a live stream from awhile ago it sounds like he wants someone EXACTLY like him and has deep set expectations for her entire personality and any time that doesn’t line up (bc you know, people have their own unique personalities and likes/dislikes) he bails. I think it’s important for him to work on understanding that you can like different things than your partner and it will, instead of holding you back, open you up to new experiences.

    For the book club thing I don’t think OP is the AH because from her perspective she and her ex have both moved on …. I mean she’s married to someone else and Jim is engaged. They live in a small town it is unrealistic to think they wouldn’t have interactions at all TBH

  • @siouxempirecoyote8174
    @siouxempirecoyote8174 2 месяца назад +11

    The book club OP did say they live in a small town so the parents probably don’t have a lot of social groups to attend so adding people you know is probably common practice. The parents shouldn’t be causing her problems for OP because they likely just sliced their social group in half

If we watch a movie that's a little scarier than their dad would prefer, or having milkshakes for dinner, I ask that they don't run up to their dad and tell him all about Jaws, but if he asks what you did, you can and should tell him the truth.
    This doesn't apply to safety issues. I fully expect my kids to tell both parents about safety issues in full. (They're 11 and 15 fwiw)

    I was adopted, and 25 years went by before gaining contact with my birth mom and birth and half sisters. Mom ended up being not only racist but sex8st against women in an almost religious/old school kind of way. I believe it is due to her husband.
    She was posting mean things on fb for years. Finally, i asked her to slighlty tone it down on fb towards the woman, and my sister asked her to tone down her racism.. The next thing i know is in this very public post. My birth mom's husband told me i should be more thankful and think more often about how i wasn't aborted... i sent him a message about how if i hear he says anything near what he said to me, I'd fly down and educate him on manners.
    Birth mom had two daughters , and she kept a secret from many people. She kept one daughter, though. I like to call it an adoption sandwich. She kept the middle child.

    I was long term friends with an ex. I dated his best friend as a teen and he was murdered. We kind of bonded over it and started dating later on. It was basically a case where I liked him more than he did me so it didn’t work out. We remained in touch until my husband got mad over it. We went to a race, he was there, I went to say hi, and my husband was angry and it became a whole thing and our time at the race was ruined. I don’t think some partners can handle it.

    I (28f) am best friends with one of my exes. He’s the only good friend I have. He’s the only one I know I can count on. And we have not had spicy sleep since we broke up three years ago. There are no romantic feelings there at all, but I do see him somewhat regularly (we work together, he’s fixing my car, he’s a mechanic, etc) and my current boyfriend (now ex) cannot stand it. 😅 but he’s a great friend to me and unless I meet my husband I’m not going to end the friendship.
    I had someone get married on my birthday too 😂 but I know for a fact it was personal. Another weird thing that happened to me was after high school the girl that bullied me got a dog and named her after me 😅 Joke is on her. She’s going to think about me for the rest of that dogs life

    I’m with Sam on filtering out the specifics of who I was with, in regards to telling a story of a past experience. Only bc my bf of 8yrs gets stupidly jealous & tends to get upset when I bring up any other man I’ve ever met in my entire life (except my dad, of course).🙄 So, when I have a relevant story to tell, I tend to just say that I was with a friend, and not ‘boy’ friend.🤦🏽‍♀️

    • @Ciela531
      @Ciela531 2 месяца назад +2

      Sometimes it’s easier to just keep the peace - if he asks for more specifics about the person, you can give it if it’s relevant, but more often than not it doesn’t matter
      Though possibly concerning depending on just how upset your bf is getting…
      Cause there’s a difference between “oh he might just feel mildly uncomfortable/ have a different lens for the experience I’m describing rn, when the gender of the person I was with does not matter, so I’ll just leave it out”
      And
      “He completely flips out, shouts at me, threatens to break up if I speak to the man at the checkout counter at the store” type thing 😅

He has NEVER raised his voice to me, let alone his hand. I don’t do it to lie to him; I just don’t mention it being an ex to avoid him feeling some type of negative way. Plus, who I was with in whatever story I’m retelling isn’t my point; it’s the details of the situation that I’m trying to recall.🤷🏽‍♀️✌🏽

    I feel like people need to start taking responsibility for their own insecurities. 🤦‍♀️ You need to cope with the reality that your partner has lived a life before you entered it. If you're in a loving relationship where you both show affection and reassurance towards eachother, and you still feel jealous, that's your problem. Tough love I know, but people need to hear this. 💌

    I have a question for Kevin!
    When I dated my now husband, he felt uncomfortable knowing about my exes.
    For example: if he asked me "were you here before?" And I said "yeah, with 'this ex' ", he'd be upset and feel weird. Later on, asked me to never mention my exes
    Now, every time I wanna share an experience or describe a place I wanna visit again, I always say "with a friend" or "someone" 'who?' "don't remember" if the event in question involves an ex.
    Am I approaching this wrong?

    1st story: and THAT'S why you don't sexually repress your teenage child. It can result in a toxic relationship with intimacy and bad decisions due to their lack of sexual education.
    I grew up in a quite religious family and my mom gave me the talk at 12, she waited for marriage but even if I didn't and had a couple of long term boyfriends growing up they always were more concerned about my safety than everything else.
    TELL YOUR KIDS TO USE CONDOMS THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SEX ANYWAY AND STDs ARE NO JOKE.

    That OP with book club, I don’t think that is fair to the OP. She is happily married and her ex is last thing she is worried about and her ex is about to get married too. Why should she need permission from her ex to get his mom in book club when she wants to join by her own free will.
