Talking about Exes

chris350

New member
Ok heres the thing I absolutely hate hearing about my girlfriends exes but she will occisionally say something about one of them. In my opinion this all happened in the past and I don't enjoy hearing about it. She will sometimes ask me about my ex girlfriends or she asked me once how many girls I had been with. It really just bugs the shit outta me to talk about it but she brings it up occisionally. I don't care what she did in her past relationships and I don't want to hear about them. Am I overreacting to this or do others feel this way to?

just cut all ties with ex's, that's what I do.
 
She brings it up, either

(a) to boast about something
(b) she doesn't realize it bothers you
(c) she wants to bother you
(d) she doesn't see the big deal about past partners (hah!)
(e) she wants to test/gauge your reaction
 
D - We are all who we are today because of our collective past experiences. At least IMHO.

I do realize that men HATE IT when a woman talks about her ex. But me I want to know EVERYTHING about a man's past relationships. Will tell me a lot about who he is once the "good guy I want to impress you in the beginning stages" phase wears off.

Having said this, there is a marked difference in talking about specific aspects of the relationship one had with an ex and constantly making comments as if they were still emotionally engaged with them.

her esteem sucks

the more girls i smooch, the less i wanna know about anyone else

(probably cos im skeered theyll ask lol)

she mentioned something about her ex earlier today at lunch. Ive told her before I don't like to talk about past relationships and such. I don't like to hear or think about her with other guys. It just makes me kinda uncomfortable

EF is famous for people with EXes they CAN'T stand, yet every 2.13 posts they mention them :rolleyes:

my post is just that it annoys me that she will mention stuff about her exes sometimes or ask me about mine

yeah she has told me before she wants to know about my exes and I have told her before but I don't usually give that many details as I feel uncomfortable talking about it but I have told her that I don't want to know about hers. She is a wonderful girlfriend and I love her it just bothers me that she sometimes brings up exes

did you ever ask her why she needs to know or why she keeps bringing the subject up? my advice is to come clean so there are no surprises later and if she leaves its better now then 5 years and 3 kids later. just sayin.....
 
i always downplay my past just cause i think it's the nice thing to do - why make her feel uncomfortable? my most recent ex constantly used to mention old bf's and away weekends she had been on though, and it was definitely cause she was insecure and thought gettin guys made her special. Usually id just nod and smile cause i knew i was worse..but sometimes i'd get mad and drop certain bombs like spring break on her.

Did she show you the videos?

:santa:
 
Honestly, I don't mind having ex girlfriend's brought up if it's relevant to the conversation, just as if I'm telling a story about something I did and an ex was there, I'm not going to pussyfoot around it. Past is past and you should be able to comfortably mention people who are no longer part of your life. Where I can understand someone's problem with it is if a person is talking about specific details of the relationship or intimate details that are irrelevant or talking ABOUT that specific person (rather than dropping a name peripherally in a story). But if you're really comfortable with someone and they are really over said ex, it shouldn't be any more of a big deal than dropping the name of a friend you've lost touch with. Who cares.

I made my gf take off all the pics of her ex and her off her facebook.

She's got like 800 pictures of her tagged, its ridiculous.

men are more territorial than that.

i agree, thats why i said a few posts back just to come clean. nothing sucks worse than Skeletons in the closet coming out a few years later. im not saying come straight out and spill it without being asked, just dont lie when she asks and if she cant take it then ask her why she asked if she cant handle the answer.
 
my girlfriend brings it up also the odd time,and Ive called her on that shit as I sometimes feel im being compaired to every other guy in her life currently and in the past,and Im not like any of them so it pisses me off

You are Oak. Also everything you do and say, including your bedroom acrobatics or lack, is being shared and compared with all of her girlfriends who cross reference their experiences with their exes and currents flings and boyfriends.

Did you tell her about the jersey-stealing tranny yet?

oh I know I am,but she doesnt make it known as much since I said something.

and no the tranny is something that can be told at the wedding for a speech
 
Tell her its classless to bring up exes and it bothers you, and if she gives you shit or says "what, its not a big deal" then tell her to get the fuck out.
Even if you are at her place.

GAH


Just tell her.
Straight out.

Babe, I love you but seriously ex's are ex's beause they're no more - there's no reason to talk about them.

It's like talking about that time in third grade when you had sugar cookies and apple juice at snack time and they brought in REAL apple cider....


but it was fermented.


WHO GIVE'S a F**K?
