KWR- Any ex bf or ex gf drama surrounding your wedding/marriage?

Crescent 1894, on June 16, 2016 at 11:42 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 72

Does anyone have any ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend drama that is creating issues with your wedding planning or in your marriage? It's such an overplayed movie plot, but does it really happen often? An ex of mine called me last weekend to tell me he and his girlfriend broke up, that he was sorry for being such a shitty boyfriend (we were 19 when we started dating), that my husband is lucky because I love so fiercely, and that he hopes he gets the chance to make things right with me. My response: relationship karma. I told him he was an idiot. To put it in context, we're now 27 and broke up over four years ago. Do people actually do shit like this and think it's ok? It didn't cause drama in my marriage because DH just laughed and said he was desperate. Please share your juicy stories!

    After FH joined the Marine Corps ALL the exes came out the woodwork, still dealing with it. It's hilarious.

    FH had a couple of ex-bitches that refused to respect the fact that we were living together. I'm talking about broken up for YEARS types of ex-bitches. It was just annoying for a while but after one of them actually came to my job, he called them and left them voicemails saying to leave us alone or he'll take legal action against them. They haven't contacted us since Smiley smile

    What did he expect from that? For you to turn around and say you've been waiting to hear just that? At least you have validation now that he knows he was shitty to you. But really....who does that?

    My EX still puts significant effort into stalking me and called me at work right before memorial day to chat.... like we are old friends..... i was like do you need something? He freaked out and told me i need to get over it already so we can 'work things out before it is too late' - i went and got the restraining order put back in place - for all the good it will do.

    A little context - my ex was an abusive munulpitive man and it took me a long time to escape him. Even after i did he would follow me trying to figure out where I lived and what i was doing. When he found out i was engaged (dont know how) he called my insurance company and used my last 4 of my social and my mothers maiden to reset my login information so he could obtain my home address.......

    @materantiqua, not really sure. He has apologized before for his behavior. He knows he was shitty; I wasn't even sad when I broke up with him. I literally said goodbye and turned around and walked out. It was the most empowering moment of my life! I think it was more of s pity party on his end. Regardless, it was weird.

    Bet he realizes now that he'll never do any better. Too late buddy, too late.

    Both of our exes came out of the wood work. Mine harassed me for a little while and when o told him we were getting married; he quit.

    FHs ex was persistent though. She went on and on how FH was the best dad to her child (not his), how he treated her better than any man had, that she was sorry, he should take her back etc. He told her to take a flying leap. We learned she got smacked with the karma stick...hard. I guess a few months ago she ended up passing away from a brain aneurysm in her sleep: /.

    @Erin -yea it was a shock. Granted we didn't like her, but no one deserves that. I think her daughter is 3 or 4.

    This wasn't recent, but when I was pregnant 5 years ago (like huge 8 months pregnant and the whole world knew) DH's ex kept messaging him trying to get him to come see her and stuff. He showed me texts that she sent him that were just WEIRD.... "I'm just sitting here crying thinking about you." "I wish we could have sex just one more time. I miss feeling you inside me" "I can love you so much better now" I ended up texting her from MY phone with screen shots from DH's phone of what she had said and basically said BITCH LEAVE.

    Sorry to hear about all the PPs with stalker exes Smiley sad freaking people. I didn't have anyone interfere with my wedding planning, but a few weeks before and after I had some asscravats (not exes, just guys I went out with ONCE) send me the weirdest messages. One "congratulated" me and passive-aggressively dissed DH and the province he's from. Another informed me that he had been shocked to hear I got married but was happy to say he was OK with it now (good for you, loser).

    FH ex-wife is a peach. She's completely and utterly annoyed that he moved on after the divorce, and is happy. In her narrow headed mind, he's supposed to still be heartbroken over her. She uses the children to be spiteful, and manipulative.

    Not really drama as such. But my ex-husband offered to give me away. His reasoning was apparently that if I'd been given away to him, he had to be the one to give me away to the next one. (Of course, I wasn't given away at either marriage, but still...)

    I just rolled my eyes, as did NotFroofy. She's well aware that I'm not carrying any kind of torch for him. And it wasn't like he was trying to get me back, just taking a stupid tradition to its logical conclusion.

    Wow! These are all crazy. I don't have any to share. FH was my first boyfriend and his exes didn't really contact him after.

    @2ndbride Oh hell no! I would be like, "how about you kiss my ass instead."

    My ex randomly congratulated me to my birthday last year after no contact for 1.5 years or so. I learned on facebook that he got married to the girl he left me for a few days after (I'm still friends with his brother on fb). I was kinda weirded out by it.

    I've got a few that aren't really horrible but still off putting lol.

    FH had asked his best friends years ago to be his best man (and he still is even after drama). Well, this one time the BM was going through a lot of relationship issues...hs level stuff. He broke up with his gf for the girl he cheated on her with only to end it with her because she was a little nuts and then wanted to crash a poor girl's wedding and profess his love to her. Like serious Taylor Swift "Don't Say Yes" style. Evidently this girl was his first love in hs (by this time he had been in college for 3 yrs) but he had never confessed. Thankfully everyone talked him out of it...aiyiyi...

    FH also has this terrible ex gf that was emotionally abusive and manipulative and (while many find contradiction with this topic) essentially raped FH by using her control over him to push him into a sexual relationship he didn't want (FH is the son of a pastor and was very religious at this time). This was hs. Well, a very explosive break up and a few years later she ends up messaging him out of the blue, apologizing for everything and taking responsibility for everything. He used the opportunity to get closure, told her after that he never wanted to hear from her again, and she agreed. Next day she messaged him again. FH had no idea what to do but kept me fully aware that she was reaching back out and the Christian in him wanted to extend forgiveness and friendship but the victim in him wanted nothing to do with her. Eventually I messaged her and everything was totally cordial and friendly though since that chat she only popped back in to show us she was married. Radio silence since!

    So many crazy stories!

    For me I don't have a crazy ex bf story, however when FH and I started dating FH had this girl that was super obsessed with him after finding out he was with me. This girl would send him messages on FB asking him if he was sure I was the right girl for him. Cornered him when out with his friends saying "I can treat you so much better than she can". And the winner was...she messaged him saying she needed to know if he really loved me but she wanted to see him face to face in order for him to tell her and only then would she leave him alone.

    Crazy b!#ch showed up at his working place...FH simply told her she needed to leave, because he really didn't want me getting involved (I would've caused a whole lot of drama for her if she did anything)....she left but kept sending him messages and liking all his pictures on FB.

    I let it go and was like "whatever were together and she doesn't matter".

    Well b!#ch pushed to far by commenting on his photo (being flirtatious) and I had enough.

    I called her ass out, she ended up sending me a private message saying "He and I are just friends, and that he does have friends that are girls and I should not be putting her on blast".....well little did she know I had screen shots of everything she was saying, called her out on that and simply said "what I did is nothing compared to what I can do....your not his friend as I have photos of all your conversations and am more than happy to put you on blast as a home wrecker".

    Well she didn't respond and simply left FH alone after that.

    Good ridden I say!

    It's strange...every time something big happens in my life, exes start crawling out of the woodwork and trying to talk to me. When I first moved in with FH, one of my more recent exes emailed me and said how much they missed me and wanted to get back together.

    When I was pregnant with my and FH's son, I got 2 exes that contacted me via email and Facebook, being very flirtatious and asking how I was, if I was single, etc. They both stopped contacting me after I sent them both a lovely photo of myself, FH, and my enormous 8 months pregnant belly, lol.

    When FH and I bought a house together a couple of years ago, another ex contacted me with a sob story about how his wife left him and their 2 kids for some 75 year old geriatric meth dealer, and how he was living in a trailer next to his parents, and his life was shit, and he really missed me, and maybe I would consider moving in with him and being his kids' new mom. I died a little inside reading that mess.

    And now that FH and I are finally getting married, yet another ex contacted me just a few weeks ago to tell me that he still loves me, he's so sorry he ever broke up with me, he hasn't been with anyone since, and that he touches himself when he thinks about me.

    Barf.
