dj572 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I was talking to a female coworker. She has really gotten into running in the past year. She has ran a few local marathons and has a big one coming up soon. I asked her if she was ready for the marathon and she said she can't run in it now because she just found out her boyfriends ex wife is running in the same race. I can't understand her logic. The ex wife has nothing to do with her and from what she has said has never done anything to her. She is seriously pissed about it and has withdrawn from the race and she was really looking forward to it. I can't understand this at all.
somedude81 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Tell her that she should find the ex wife and knock her over, and then finish the race 2
CarrieT Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Look up Lame-A$$ in the dictionary and you will see picture of this female co-worker... 1
todreaminblue Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I guess being in the same place as the ex wife is not her favourite pair of nikes....as a betrayed ex partner of an ex i dutifully avoid all contact with my exes affair partner.....as i dont want to see her at all...i forgive her and i have wished her happy xmas and wished her well....i dont feel the need to share personal space with her..if she were to be at a marathon i was meant to eb in...i would withdraw gracefully and plan on doign another oen another time...because if we ran into each other....the objective of the marathon would become second to how i felt about her....it would drain me and make me feel negative..a marathon is after all...... a competition ..........maybe the co worker feels that way........deb

They divorced 6 years ago she only met him 2 years ago. His ex has nothing to do with her I just can't see the big deal in her case.
hotpotato Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Makes 0 sense to me! What are the odds of bumping into exwife anyway?
preraph Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Well, I do get it. There's a very good chance her ex will be there, and obviously this would be awkward and hurtful to her. Plus you don't know if this other woman is hostile toward her or not. I've had ones who were who didn't even know me because they felt threatened. If I were her, what I'd do instead is go in a disguise so I wouldn't be easy to pick out, but she just doesn't want to see her ex is all.

preraph Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 ^ Oh, sorry, you're right. i totally misread. Well, I like to avoid the exes's exes as well, so I'm not throwing stones. But I wouldn't miss something important to me to avoid them. I just don't want them snooping on me online and stuff like that. But she could have her reasons. For example, if her husband is going to come because she runs, and she doesn't want him to see her because she's afraid he might like it too much or she might. I mean, guys often have a vulnerability to their exes (girls too).
angel.eyes Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Perhaps you don't have all the details. There may be more to the story than you realize.
ComingInHot Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 If the details will have any type of bearing on the type of responses then the details may be necessary. As it stands... 'Petty' is the word that comes to mind. 1
