am I wrong to feel angry that my bf's ex asked him to buy her a plane ticket to go to missouri from our home state because she's in asia? and the ticket is 110 dollars?

I think anger is an extreme reaction, but I do think it's deserving of having questions raised. First of all, is this a gift from your boyfriend or will she pay him back?

She said she would PayPal him money if he didn’t have any. He was trying to explain to her that he just got his first floor fixed and was low on cash.

From the original post... there simply isn't enough info. Were they married for a VERY long time, and just drifted apart? Did he cheat on her? Is he still tied to the family somehow? If this is the case... then no.

 

 

IF..... They weren't together very long, and there is suspicion that he is still attracted to her... the YES... I would be upset too.

So did she send him the money?

Too little information/too much to consider.

 

How long did they date for? Were they married? Did your BF try to hide it from you? Is your BF the type to stay in contact with exs and flirt with them behind your back? Does the ex really need help and was just so desperate she had to ask your BF?

 

If your BF is just trying to be a nice guy and help out, why not? It's his EX, not a random stranger off the streets. As long as he doesn't have romantic feelings for her anymore I don't see why there's a problem or why you should be mad. Don't be like that lol..

 

Also, ODD but she said she will only pay him back if he doesn't have money?? What??

sorry - let me get some background info.

 

 

my bf and I were friends prior to us dating. He didn't really bring her up voluntarily in conversation / I've never met her. They dated for approximately six months - he initiated the break up. there was no cheating involved - she just displayed some traits he couldn't cope with anymore (according to him from what I remember.) I started dating him the following year in the summer.

 

 

 

I've been with him for two years. I don't think he's attracted to her - I think he would tell me that if someone needs help, he will do his best to help them.

 

 

 

He didn't hide it persay - he never voluntarily told me about it up until we talked about something else that lead to that topic starter to come up.

 

 

 

I don't know if she was that desperate - she's on vacation in asia so I'm not sure if she asked anyone else prior to him.

 

 

 

yeah - he showed me the email - she basically is expecting him to use his own money but she would pay him back through paypal.

 

 

 

I know at the end of the day - this is something minor to feel upset about
