This guy needs a good slap

[tmonoxide]

Bro was engaged but he never broke it off with her.

He's now dating somebody else. And the former FI is still in the picture. This is now 9 merry years he's invoved with former FI.

When they were engaged, I made this real nice photo montage for bro and FI; in it are pics of him from high school, family photos of the parents and he and I and 2 or 3 photos of him the FI and the FI's daughter.

The montage of photos still hangs.

About a week and a half ago, I noticed the 3 pics of the now former FI and bro were gone. New gf was there. I asked her where the photos went.

"I took those out. In it I'll put photos of him me and the dog."

2 days ago the photos of him and the former FI reappeared in the frame.

The reason?

"She is part of my life. I want those photos in that montage."

Holy crap. If I saw that, I'd be history so fast that it wouldn't be funny. And on the way out I'd slam that door so hard that it would have been heard clear to Oslo, Norway.

She's got no idea that the former FI is still in the picture -- and he's been caught in fragrante delicto in the past, dating 2 people at once.

What a mess.

I told her not to tolerate it and that that's no respect for her. She isn't going to listen.

This is your brother behaving this way? Yikes a roo.

If he and former FI are still sorta together, why don't they just get back together? And what the hell does new girlfriend see in him that she's willing to not only deal with former FI, but is persuaded to put her photos BACK IN A FRAME for display?

I'm sure this is something most people don't want to hear, but your brother must have a gigantic weiner.

That's ridiculous. I can't imagine being able to put a smile on about all of this regularly. I know he's your brother so it must have been hard to do, so extra kudos to you for telling her the truth.

I told it like it was. And prefaced it with "I am only saying this once." Which once is enough and if you can't get it...very sad.

I feel bad for the gf. She's real nice and will do anything for you. when I had my art show, she was there and took a zillion photos. When I was in my community show, same thing -- a zillion photos.

The nice ones get the freaking shaft. It SUCKS.

[wrathofkuus]

your brother!

HE's been caught. This ain't the first time.

The poor kid hung on to the relationship for a year after that -- she heard a rumor and went to check it out and she got hit right between the eyes. That is how she found out.

:N:

That makes me feel incredibly bad for her. Does she not have very high self esteem?

This is a second go round for them.

They met and dated years ago and broke up, cheez, around 12 years ago. Bro says that he dated her before I met xH but I don't remember. Isn't that awful.

They somehow met up again; I don't know how -- and now they're seeing each other a bit over 3 years.

This wasn't the current gf who caught him.

I was citing another incident with another little love triangle; the cast of characters was different.

He never learned. And he knows who all got hurt in that scenario. Yet he is doing it again. He's got a past history of this and he is no kid. He should know better.
