Luckily, DH doesn't have any of these scenarios with his exes. He's moved, the women have moved on. End of story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609522 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:39:16 +0000 heffalump 609522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is friendly with one of my exs, and I'm friends with my exs wife. We were family friends and neighbors before we dated, so when we broke up we didn't have much of a choice but to remain friends and since we see eachother so often (holidays, parties, vacations, etc) our spouses are friends too. </p> <p>So yes, I'd be friends with dhs ex depending on the circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609500 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:08:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 609500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read before you edited (on my phone nursing!) but just got a chance to reply. I'd be a little weirded out, too, to be honest - though there's always the chance that she's innocent about it all. I don't know that she's the type bent on splitting up your party, so to speak, but all the other similarities are a little strange haha. I'd say stick with the acquaintance-type friendship for now and see how it all plays out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609494 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:02:10 +0000 Boogs 609494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: No problem! Sounds like you already have other great friends anyway, so it's not like you'll have no one. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609491 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:59:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: thanks for the advice. :) Very wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609490 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:57:58 +0000 Boogs 609490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I wouldn't be her friend, if for no other reason you'll never be able to give yourself 100%. DH doesn't want to do double dates and stuff, his family doesn't like her, so it would almost feel like your friendship was a dirty little secret. Add on that the creepy stuff, it's just not something I would pursue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609483 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:52:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to delete some of this out so it doesnt give away too much info... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609480 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:51:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: part of me is creeped out and the other part of me wants to give her the benefit of the doubt and give a friendship a shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609478 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:50:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609477 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:49:10 +0000 stargal 609477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: wait she named her daughter the Sam name as your daughter? Did she know beforehand BC that is kinda weird if she did...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609475 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:47:54 +0000 Boogs 609475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: See, makes my creep radar go off even more! I don't know about this girl... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609474 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:46:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: he doesn't mind if we are friends. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609472 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:46:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: yep totally understand that. A couple other creepyish things have happened.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609471 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:45:16 +0000 stargal 609471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I dunno I think its kinda weird since they use to live together but if she is happily married and you guys get along, I don't see how a couple of play dates would hurt. I would keep her away from your hubby family though BC of how they feel.<br /> How does your husband feel about it to? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609469 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:44:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: my DH has no problem with it. He has no desire to be her friend or invite her and her DH over for dinner to "double date", but he doesn't mind she and I being friends at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609467 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:43:36 +0000 Boogs 609467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It makes sense you get along because DH probably likes similar type of girls, lol. ;)</p> <p>Because of how your friendship started, I would feel kind of leery myself. If one of my old boyfriend's wives randomly added me on FB I would honestly feel a little creeped out. I probably wouldn't pursue that friendship, but that's just me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609466 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:42:53 +0000 prettylizy 609466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your DH is fine with it, then I don<code><br /> <pre><code>s</code></pre> </code>m in the camp that it is hard for me to make and keep friends, I<code><br /> <pre><code>n</code></pre> </code>s a problem for your partner, then no. But if it isn`t, then why worry what his parents think </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-friends-with-dhs-ex#post-609463 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:39:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>**content edited out**</p> <p>Would you be? Under what circumstances? </p> <p>I have a love/hate relationship with DH's ex girlfriend. She is super sweet and we have a lot in common. DH's family insists she is still in love with him and that is why she wants to be my friend--to have an "in" with his life. I don't agree with this as she is happily married.</p> <p>Ditch it? Pursue something? </p>
