Author sweetpeaelle Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 This reminds me of the movie 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' with Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts. The karaoke scene...lol. Good luck sweetpeaelle HAHAH omg! I'd like to think that I can carry a tune, so if she tries to embarrass me, it ain't happening! Interesting side note - I believe the type of karaoke that she wants us to go to is the one in a private room...not an open mic at a bar or whatever. I find that weird, but wouldn't be able to adequately explain why. Perhaps it's so that there isn't that much of an opportunity to talk to her? I know I shouldn't assume. It's just..weird. 1

I do find that really weird too haha. Different if it's relaxed in a pub or with a group of friends that you already know somewhat! Spending an hour or so alone in a room with my partner and his former flame? Nah!

I would wait and see if it actually happens first. It could be a vague, "Yeah, yeah, fine, I'll meet your girlfriend, whatever"-type plan. In other words, she might have randomly suggested it just to assuage your boyfriend's request without much commitment to following through. Or it could be that she chose something she hoped you wouldn't be comfortable with thinking you might decline to participate. Either way, as you seem to get, this is more about your boyfriend handling the whole situation poorly and putting her needs and desires above yours. Where and how you meet this woman is rather beside the point. 2
Timshel Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 I'm not for playing games but just throw out that karoake isn't your thing and suggest a proper meeting. In your home for dinner that your bf figures out. This does seem like a situation that no person in a serious relationship should need to deal with. You've been made to be the 'bad guy' no matter what you do and that's not acceptable or cute...it should give you pause. If this were me, i'd wish him a heck of a weekend with the woman he formally banged, let him go and mean it. Your prince charming has put you in a position that you should reject, immediately. You won't play the part he is putting you in, F all the way off dude. And yes, she is not coming to make friends with you. Other posters are spot on. This is her last ditch effort to convince the imbecile that she is better than you. Stupidity knows no bounds. 1

Will it be just the three of you in the private room? If so, I agree it's weird. I think of karaoke in a private room as a bigger group activity. Seems like it will be awkward with only three of you. One person singing and other two sitting there staring at them. LOL. My cynical initial reaction is that she has an amazing singing voice and is hoping to show it off so that's why she suggested karaoke. 2

Agreed, it's a really crappy position to be put into when you've been in a relationship for a year. I wouldn't play along if it were me, but easier said than done. 1
KiwiMe Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 It made you uneasy because he wants to be friends with someone who's had the hots for him and doesn't want you part of their friendship.....Any friend who wants to keep a private relationship with someone in a solid relationship with someone else is up to no good. You are trusting; good for you. He is untrustworthy; bad for you. You are primary in his life, unless some other woman doesn't want you around, wtf? 1
