Q: New Boyfriend Meeting the X
asked by: dls1729 on September 19th, 2005

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6months. Both of us have dated people but we are both each other's second real boy/girl friend

my x and I are friends we have been friends for 2years. We were best friends before we dated. Recently the x came into town and asked me to go out for a drink. So we did. I told my boyfriend that night that I did. He asked some questions but took it fairly well.

Going into this I kinda knew he would be upset but I didnt think it would all go wrong, however it did. So the next day he flipped. He's not the kind to be like you can't ever see him again, he says he's just "disappointed" is there anything worse?

So we went to a movie that nite and as we were leaving my x walks out of the same theatre with 2 of his friends, what are the odds? So my bf (boyfriend) just got even more mad.

I know I am not all right but I don't think I am all wrong either. It's not like I tried to hide it from him and it was just drinks. Also its not like this was the first time in 3 yrs that I have talked to my x we have been friends for 2yrs after a year and half of not speaking, we both have moved on and we are finally able to be friends again.

So how wrong am i? And how long should I let him punish (i don't mean it in a slave way) me?

Please help!

Well I dont think it was cool that u went to have drinks with ur ex... If ur going to do that u and ur bf should go to have drinks with ur ex. Yea u 2 may be friends but think of it like what if his ex came into town and he went out to have drinks with her. U would be pissed. U dont have to say one or the other is wrong. Id just say dont do that again, because it hurts ur bf even if he says it doesnt. Hope this helps.

Well im kind of in the same situation, but I think you should've told your boyfriend, so he never has a reason to assume you were off doing other things, if you both have moved on I don't see why your boyfriend couldn't have come with you, but that's your choice, just tell him what's going on and that will help him keep his trust in you, you know it wasn't easy for your boyfriend to hear that you were with your ex, but you gotta tell him that he's #1 in your life now and that it didn't mean anything

When I am in north carolina (where i'm from) I go visit my ex and his family because I was so close to them all. My husband knows and at first he was a little upset about it but know, he is okay with it....He trusts me. Your boyfriend should trust you as well. If your guy really loves you, he'll get over it :wink:
