Who would it be most important too? You or your wife?? It really doesn't matter, IMHO.

The girl I dated before I met my wife was part of my circle of friends since high school - long before I met my wife. As a result, my wife knows her and is friends with her on Facebook. I broke up with that girl because she and I had very different lifestyles. I tend to eat healthy and exercise (always have, always will) where the former gf just wasn't into it.... maybe briefly while we were together, but seemed like it was only to please me. Fast forward to present time and my now 47 year old wife goes to Crossfit just about every day, runs marathons, half marathons, bikes, swims, etc. The former GF? When we were dating, she probably needed to lose a few pounds. Now, she's morbidly obese.

Why doesn't everyone just stay the hell out of Texas....problem solved :D

why wouldn't you tell her? your married for god sakes. and why would she be jealous ... she won you, and gets you every single day ... ?

this place is very weird about marriages and exs. every thread shows the fear of exs and womens emotions ... idk

maybe i just find jealously so unattractive, that i don't associate with women of that type. seriously, nothing is less flattering and unattractive than a woman you are already dating, getting jealous of someone you were once with. like seriously, how petty and adolescent are they? ugg, nope. nope. nope. is this a generational thing?

I don't think it's a generational thing. I think its like you said, who you are attracted to. I'm also not attracted to women that exhibit jealousy. I work with a guy that seems to be attracted to crazy chick. (you know, the danger zone, redheads, strippers and girls named Tiffany). I've had a few that made it known that they were avaiable when I was younger and single, I avoided them. Maybe I missed out on something, but I also didn't have the drama to deal with.

LOL! No, I'm not a Gynecologist but, yes, if I was, I would definitely STFU!:p

I'm an Optometrist so obviously my deal is much less invasive of private areas.

OK, 15 might be an exaggeration but 12 for sure...these would be girls that I may have dated once or twice some time ago (not necessarily GFs) that, for whatever reason, became my patients over the years and have continued to see me on average every two or three years. I have seen them age as they have seen me age over the years...just a simple observation on my part...as I mentioned, those that continued to smoke got "real old, real fast!":eek:

I don't divulge a name, obviously, as I am involved in a doctor/patient relationship with them. So it's strictly a "what if I had married her....my gawd, I'm glad I didn't!!!" moment.
In short, it's just a sign of appreciation to my dear wife, that I made the right choice in choosing her!

And, besides, she is a very strong woman...another trait of hers that I greatly appreciate!

And there it is. How would you feel if your wife met up with her BF from high school?

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

Before I was married I dated a circus performer. Being an acrobat she was very FIT... ;)
Obviously it didn't last and she ended up joining a circus that travelled around the country.

Fast forward 16 years and she's quit the circus and moved back to Adelaide. So what does she do? She looks me up and calls the house phone.
My then wife answers the phone and somehow invites her to our place for dinner. (I've never fully understood why my ex did this)

She turns up... Looking hotter than ever :eek: ... I'll never forget that evening as long as I live. :(

2porscheguy 08-02-2014 04:18 PM

How did that evening turn out?....any pics?

I've actually met a few of my wife's former BFs....actually two of them are good friends with her brother....LOL! So we see them quite often! Not to brag or anything but....ahem....MY WIFE DID VERY WELL IN CHOOSING ME!;):D

I find it easiest to adhere to an old adage - "Least said, soonest mended"

This & this. Except it is not by any means generational. It's human nature. Jealousy is an extension of insecurity. As with these two gentlemen I don't associate with insecure people, let alone insecure women, baaaad mojo. So would I tell wife, girlfriend, FB? Of course, if it came up. My current gf doesn't have a jealous bone in her body nor do I.
Jealously is such a bad trait.
It's a shame a thread like this even has to come up IMHO.

Not worth mentioning, I've had a few look me up on linkedin and want to go for coffee, ah no.

I rather tell my wife and let her get over then for her to find out.
