I have never been as happy as I am now with my boyfriend of almost a year. He's a wonderful man and he's perfect for me (I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found my prince but I did find him!). We have a great relationship. He is caring, loving, and oh, did I mention super handsome too!

 

Three months ago he took a new job. There is this coworker that he talks a lot about because they work closely together and have become friends. Last night my boyfriend asked me if I would like to go out with his coworker and his coworker's wife next weekend. I was all for it, it sounded like a good idea. Today while I was at work I decided to see if his coworker was on fb. He is. Not only do I know him, but I had a short fling with him. We met at a bar and things happened. It lasted maybe two weeks before it ended – for that guy it was all about the sex, nothing else. When we split it was kind of ugly. He was a real douche. Good riddance!

 

So right now I’m not sure what to do. Do I tell my boyfriend? Do I cancel our double date for next weekend? Do I wait and see if the guy even recognizes me (he probably will)? Any advice would be really appreciated. I don't want to do anything that would hurt my boyfriend or our relationship.

Odd you have to even ask. If your bf is good friends with your ex fb, don't you assume & expect that your bf is eventually going to show him your pics?

 

 

I'd make a preemptive strike & fill in your bf before he has that awkward moment.

Yip just tell him.

Wow, only one word comes to mind - Awkward! You have to nip this one in the bud right away. If you cancel, it's just going to come back around again because he's your boyfriends co-worker and they're becoming friends. Just tell him what happened. Everybody has a past, and if he loves you it should be no big deal. But boy, talk about a small world.

Yeah, I would fill him in, and be sure to make it a point to say you don't think much of this fella and that it's in the past. Emphasize your love for your current partner.
