pandagirl Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Jillybean, this one goes out especially for you. So, quickly -- my ex and I are trying to be friends. There are still feelings ruminating around, but every week they get less and less. Especially in the last week, my feelings have subsided a lot as a consequence of me just feeling stronger about myself. Today, we are emailing about nothing stuff, trips, work, etc. Then all the sudden way out in left field, he tells me an online dating story he just experienced. Granted, it was a funny story, but in no way, shape or form, is it OK to talk about your dating life to your recent EX, especially when you were the dumper. I'm actually not jealous, just really appalled that he would go there with me. He always talked about not hurting my feelings and respecting me, and there is no way a person would bring up another guy/girl to their EX without thinking it might upset them. In any instance, this was a bonehead move: 1. He wanted to make boundaries for our relationship, saying: Look I am dating now. Which, if this was his intention, it was a really jerky way of conveying it. Also, I already assumed he was dating. 2. He wanted to make me jealous. Sorry if guys hit on me when I'm around you. Get over it. Or maybe he senses I am moving on and is playing mind games with me. 3. I recently rejoined the dating site we originally met on, so maybe he saw me on that, and decided to tell me about his own dating stories?? In any case, though it sort of bothers me, this was lame and it makes me think he's an idiot. Feeling angry is sometimes nice.
