Your Competition

[alabasterangel]

Have you ever met anyone your S/O dated prior to you? What was your impression?

[glw]

Yes and I've liked all of them. His ex 2 before me comes to our parties all the time. She's tall and blonde and athletic and so not me, hehe.

[OrangePixyStix]

Yes, but she was already married w/ kids when I met her (it was over a decade after they had dated) and we got along great. We met at a wedding for someone else and the H told me about her beforehand, I was glad for the warning. I found her to be super sweet and funny, exactly the type he goes for.

I have not met his ex-wife, but I have met her sister & sister's husband (they actually came to our wedding and sister still works with the H).

I've only knowingly met one of his previous girlfriends. He had already told me about her and why their relationship didn't work out. My impression was that she was a really sweet woman who turned her life around after surviving breast cancer. They had a class together last fall and it didn't bother me at all.

From what he tells me, he didn't get serious with many women, so it's highly possible that I've met a few women who he fooled around with before me. No big deal.

I knew her when they were dating (D and I were aquaintences for over a year before our first date). She was nice enough, just a little insecure and had a bit of a drinking problem. I don't think I ever saw her sober. His friends called her "Krazy K".

D and I got together two weeks after they broke up. I felt bad about that until I found out that two weeks after that, she had moved to San Diego and married a Marine.

They're still buds on fb, and even with her being back in town and divorced, I can honestly say that I have no problem with that.

He's only had one other long-term girlfriend, and when we took our road trip to move north, we actually made a stop about 30-45 minutes out of the way to stop and see her. We had texted/facebook messaged back and forth a little bit before I met her. She brought her boyfriend along, and we hung out for a bit. It ended up not being awkward at all, and if we were in the area, we'd definitely meet up for lunch or something again.

[shorty20]

Yes, I've met hubbys ex-wife numerous times since they have a child together.

We are total opposites, it's pretty funny. She's tall and thin w/ strawberry blonde hair, I'm short and brunette. She's very high maintenence (from what DH has told me) and I'm very low maintenence. Her need of attention and approval was a big reason they fought all the time. She's very concerned with what others think and I couldn't give a crap on most things. DH doesn't care what anyone thinks, so it's no wonder they didn't last.

Honestly though, I have no problem with her. We get along fine, she's never done anything to me, and her and the hubs work together and get along for SD, so it's all good.

When I met the ex's ex all I could pay attention to was how loudly she talked. Despite my content I do speak fairly quietly. She hurt my ears.

I have met two chicks that the BF was dating before we went exclusive. One was in some kind of battle gear at a festival and really excited about the day but seemed nice. The other we had dinner with - she seemed snarky stemming from unhappiness with her own decision making - but funny.

[sitnspin]

I have "met" his two ex-wives, sort of. I met my SD's mom at her college graduation, but that was very brief. I saw his other ex -wife at a funeral, but we didn't speak.

[honeydew1894]

DH's "good" exgf is still a good friend of his, and now mine over the years. She came to our wedding, and we gtg with her and her DH yearly. His psycho ex I have met once and hope to never see her again.

[charitylynne79]

I met the xwife of him and she seems to have a problem with me. Not my problem anymore. Could care less.

[latte]

I saw his ex once when we were at a mall 2 hours from home. She completely ignored me and started chatting up MH. Her and her friend invited him for drinks later that night. Riiight, that's going to happen. She started texting him again after that and he promptly shut that down.

I met one when we had first started dated. (I knew he had an ex named L, but nothing about her.) And I walked into rehearsal for an opera at school that I was stage managing for. She walked over to me as soon as they were released from having been introduced to me. (I was coming in very late to the process.) She asked if I was dating W and when I said yes, she said, a whole stream of expletives, then told me she was going to kill me and hoped I died in a fire. I was just really confused.

Apparently they broke up because she was a cheating sociopath...we've crossed paths a couple of times because of mutual friends at parties. She still tells me I am a whore and a terrible person. I just laugh because I have no ill will towards her, it's just odd.

**Also, she was engaged to her first husband at 24 when I first met her. They got married and divorced within 8 months, because she was cheating. Then she married his ex-best friend at ~26 (who she had cheated on W with, and her ex-h) and they divorced after less than a year, because *shocking* she was cheating.***

Edit: I did (and still do) think she is unstable.

And the winner is... LizO!

Thanks . Though probably an award I want to win...

[monkeygirl18]

Ive met his ex girlfriend (the one he split with right before we got together) once. Not impressed (she's a bit on the hefty side and a bitch) so I know I have nothing to worry about.

[alabasterangel]

Hey. Hefty chicks give good head.

Hehe...she refused. Man, that must have sucked for him...sorry couldn't resist the pun.
Nothing wrong with hefty (or pleasantly plump as I'd rather say) chicks but, knowing him as I do, that's not what he prefers. So, no worries for me. Besides, I tend to be a wee bit less on the bitchy side and I give head

[darkling_glory]

Yes. She looks liked Miss Piggy. I only felt slightly threatened when she decided it was okay to blatantly flirt with him in front of me.

Oh well.. I married him. And she still looks like Miss Piggy. So, win-win-win.

I met his HS girlfriend at a wedding last year. They broke up because she decided to play for the other team. Without realizing who I was there with she started hitting on me. It was a bit awkward...

[conradtn]

You know....I've met the last 4 ex's. 1) was my bestie and was my MOH - I had introduced them 2) was my roommate - I had introduced them (now she won't talk to me) 3) Was physco and I'm glad it didnt' last long 4) She treated him dirty and I couldn't stand her.

If you're wondering how I introduced the first 2 and met the last 2, he was literally my best guy friend for 4 years before we even THOUGHT of taking it to the dating level. So at least when we started dating that whole "getting to know you " was already done.
