oss91 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 My Ex-girlfriend (of rougly two weeks) and her family came over last night for Christmas. Things went well for the most part and it wasn't too awkward. However, I was talking to my sister-in-law and inquired about some of her single friends. Well my ex was pissed off about that. I called her a little later after she left, but she was still pissed off at me. I honestly, however, feel as though I did nothing wrong and am curious as to why she got so mad. I don't feel like I owe her an apology for what I did. Strange.
riobikini Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 She sees you're moving on, dude, -and it slayed her. If you are all for the break, -keep moving. -Rio
salmagundi Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Rio's analysis is undoubtedly accurate, but I gotta say, if you dont think you're moving a little fast here (2 weeks?) then you might at least try moving a little farther afield than the friends of...your exes sister. Just in the interests of tact. I mean, unless you WANT to stick a fork in your exes heart... salmagundi

Think I might give it a try myself!
Author oss91 Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 I was asking my brother's wife, so she is in no way related to my ex. And I do realize that I am moving quickly, but I was was really just jokingly asking her. I have no intentions of dating anyone right now because I know it would just be a rebound relationship. She broke it off with me after giving me the "I need some space" talk, and I told her I wasn't going to let her have the cake and eat it too. She thinks it's ok for her to date others, and yet expects me to just sit around and wait. No ma'am.
slubberdegullion Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 If she slammed you with the old "I need my space" standby, then she has absolutely no right to get all bent out of shape about your choices. Now, I agree that two weeks is a little short to heal, but your decision should be based on your own feelings, and have nothing to do with your ex.
JaneInVegas Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Technically, no, you didn't do anything wrong. It was a tacky thing to do, though. Especially at a Christmas gathering. Those kind of inquiries should be a lot more discreet than that.
