Paper cranes with baby....err"</p> <p>Sounds like the friendship is a-okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263513 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:36:45 +0000 Crystal 1263513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you're fine, but like everyone else said, maybe not share too much with her about our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263512 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:36:20 +0000 Boheme 1263512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: I told him, and he was like "Oh, A is in your weird baby origami club* too? She's pretty cool. I always liked her. I'm not surprised you guys hit it off." Totally nonchalant. </p> <p>*what he calls our local AP/gentle discipline/babywearing moms group. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263503 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:34:16 +0000 mrsmate 1263503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the onus is on you to do anything. If anything, it's for your friend to decide how far her loyalty to her sister goes.</p> <p>It sounds like everyone is probably aware of the situation but is being grown up about it. Very nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263427 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:11:03 +0000 HLK208 1263427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would kind of bother me. Only because I've done it and she ended up inviting her sister (DH's ex) to a play date with us. NO THANKS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263403 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:03:35 +0000 deerylou 1263403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure she knows, considering your last name. I might feel a little awkward about it, at first, but a friend is a friend, in my book. </p> <p>If no one is bothered by it (including Mr. Grizz), I'd say, have at it and enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263402 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:02:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1263402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let it be, most likely she recognizes your last name &amp; probably knows the truth too but doesn't want to bring it up! Keep it neutral until you start talking about families! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263397 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:00:42 +0000 MarieJ 1263397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: It would be weird to me and I'd be very reluctant to share too much (anything,really) with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263365 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:48:56 +0000 Boheme 1263365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I am pretty sure she knows and hasn't said anything! </p> <p>Their parents still love my husband, and even sent us something when LO was born. The breakup was totally the sister's decision, not DH's.</p> <p>I can't believe I didn't realize. Their last name is very distinctive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263242 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:05:17 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1263242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: lol I'm good friends now with someone who was my husband's serious girlfriend in high school! I rarely think about it and it's not weird at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263239 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:04:36 +0000 swurlygurl 1263239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: Oh no, is it one of those words that makes us old, and uncool?! Haha! Like, when my parents would use their slang and I would just give them a pathetic look... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263236 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:03:50 +0000 pui 1263236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263229 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:02:28 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1263229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Hhaha - I was just thinking after I posted "do people still use the word 'juicy' anymore?" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263228 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:02:25 +0000 Vegmama 1263228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy my partner &amp; I live 2,200 miles away from our last relationships!! :) I would feel awkward a bit, but depending on the length of time that's passed, I'm sure it'll be just fine. If you like her, then I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263225 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:01:53 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1263225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't feel weird at all, but I have a high tolerance for awkwardness. :) I'd acknowledge it in a casual way and not share anything really juicy about my husband/our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263223 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:00:48 +0000 Greentea 1263223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It had nothing to do with her. I would totally not even mention it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263206 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:57:12 +0000 swurlygurl 1263206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! What a small world. I'd probably stay friends, but limit the juicy girlfriend talk :)</p> <p>When DH and I were dating long distance he broke up with me to date another girl for awhile. Turns out, SIL was pushing him to do it because she didn't want him giving up his life on this long distance relationship, and convinced him to date her friend. Well, now SIL keeps trying to get me to hang out with this girl since we're both her friends. Um, NO. I cannot be friends with someone who has touched my husband &gt;:-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263202 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:56:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1263202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263188 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:54:05 +0000 Cchoi4 1263188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as she is nice to you, I'd leave the past in the past. People grow up and change. (I had a similar thing happen to me and I"m going to be friends bc like edsmarties said, mommy friends are hard to come by! and they are valuable) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263184 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:53:05 +0000 Espion 1263184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she know? Or is this something you've realized? It would make me reluctant to share too much, but a casual acquaintance would probably be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263172 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:49:29 +0000 Freckles 1263172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on how long ago they broke up. I think i would keep the friendship but i'd keep it at arm's length. I wouldn't want her to know certain things and have her blab it to her sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263159 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:47:50 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1263159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might make me feel a little odd, but mommy friends are hard to come by! I might make a joke about it or something, to let her know that I knew (to seem like I wasn't weird about it). I don't think it would keep me from making a friend though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-friendship-be-awkward-to-you#post-1263104 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:37:11 +0000 Boheme 1263104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a good friend who is in the same mom groups I participate in. I knew her last name sounded familiar, and today I realized.... She is the sister of DH's last girlfriend before me! They were pretty serious, and had an ugly breakup. </p> <p>Would this make you feel weird? I wonder if I should ever acknowledge it. I'm not really concerned, but it makes me laugh that out of all the people in our city, I made friends with her! </p>
