<!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->Actually if you think about it you didn't do anything wrong by not telling her.<br>
<br>
Assuming the relationship is over and because it's over and you've moved on it has no bearing on your current one.<br>
Therefore there is no reason to tell your current partner anything.<br>
<br>
I sometimes wonder if men provoke problems subconsciously by doing stupid things like this.<br>
<br>
And again.... "it wasn't important so I didn't think it was worth mentioning"
There you go being logical like a man.....

Absolutely, yes. She already knows it will be a pleasant conversation followed by farewell. That's how I handle my business.

If you are open and upfront about it, and jealousy exists, you have the wrong woman.

What do you guys do? Tell or STFU?
Since you give eye exams, I'd say might be OK to tell.

If you were a gynecologist, I'd say you'd best STFU.

"She looks just like she did in high school" would definitely take on new meaning.

That's sound great in theory but the reality is in general women are competitive and with that comes jealously.

-----------------------------------------------

And women are even more competitive than men!

If you think this isn't true you need to get out more. :rolleyes:

I'd tell her, I don't think she'd care....much:)

The world's worst response to a woman. It runs a close second behind "I forgot." Women reserve the right to determine what is important.

To quote some movie I once saw:

"To wives and sweethearts - may they never meet."

It may be but you know what... It's the appropriate one.

Personally I don't play their games any more which is just one of the reason I'm single ;)

It depends on:
a) will it upset her?
b) are you a gynecologist?

rusnak 08-01-2014 06:52 PM
There is absolutely no good way to talk about an old "flame", exGF, etc. Ex classmates, or co-workers.....maybe, but even then I'd say no.

rattlsnak 08-01-2014 07:09 PM
Whenever I go back home to visit family and friends I always see a lot of old friends that happen to be girls or past girlfriends. Wife hates it but I knew them 30 years before I met her. I'm simply not going to give up all my childhood/high school friends for jealousy reasons.

Noah930 08-01-2014 07:14 PM
It's not the old GFs about which I worry the wife hearing....

VINMAN 08-02-2014 06:33 AM
I have no problem telling my wife. She's probably the least jealous, insecure person I've ever met. She's met a few of my old GFs . Didn't even bat an eye.

So I see them and now their kids and SOs on a fairly regular basis as patients...about every two or three years on average. As a result, I've witnessed them "aging" and for a lot of them, it has not been very kind to say the least!....especially the smokers!

I would say that out of say 15 (that I can remember off hand) of these ladies, only one stands out....we are talking just physical beauty here....but that one has a lot of baggage, has been married a bunch of times and is generally very high maintenance!
Are you saying you have at least 15 exes who are now patients of yours? I find that really hard to believe unless you're the only doctor in a small town that's far away from the next town.

I don't know what kind of medicine your practice, but I can't imagine too many wives being comfortable with their husbands seeing exes' intimate areas in private rooms, no matter how professional the setting.

rusnak 08-02-2014 09:42 AM
He's the LUUUV Doctor!

Batten down the hatches folks. I feel a pileon coming......

Unless you married your high school sweetheart, we all have plenty of exes. It's a fact of life. All mine are on the east coast, so I'm pretty safe here in AZ. I did run into one while on date once, but she was very cool and didn't say anything, just looked at me and kept walking, though we still email once in a while and are FB friends. I have one I'm pretty sure would make a scene if we bumped into each other, but there's just about no chance of that happening. Fifteen, however? Those are long odds.

None of mine speak to me anymore. Sooo... There is that...
