Right, I know. I mentioned that to express that even given the freedom for it to happen, it is NOT HAPPENING. Which means also...don't assume it will.

And to be honest while I might make the decision that someone from my past is an annoyance and I want to block them and no longer hear from them, I would be upset if my partner told me to, or expected me to structure who I talk to and who I don't, around suspicions.

Ya trust me, or ya don't. If you don't, then we do not need to be together. That whole, "I've got to watch her! She might just get up to somethin'!" attitude which is so incredibly common...I don't like it. The fact that I never wanted to deal with that again, is part of why I wasn't even sure I WANTED a monogamous relationship. I don't like how one partner often treats the other like some kind of a sneak.

In my opinion, the girlfriend has been honest in telling her man that she had contact with the guy. If she had any intention of getting back with him at all, she wouldn't even mention it. Because throwing down clues is no way to keep a secret. The two of them should talk. He could ask her if she would consider blocking the other guy. Let her know it would ease his peace of mind. I just don't dig the assumption that because she hasn't, she must be hiding something.

This woman, ugh. What an attention/drama queen. Why else would she spill all the details of the man she was boning just weeks before you became exclusive, and then revels in telling you he is now sending her sex messages?

It's manipulative and disrespectful. Is she hot or something? Is that worth her grinding up your ego for her own entertainment?

This is not how classy women behave. They handle these things quickly and discreetly because they respect their man.

She likes you. She's hot for him.

He did something to her that no one else has done in her 32 years, which intrigues her. Right now, she's thinking that her options are open.

I rep Zentropa so much it irritates me when I can't. She hit the nail right on the head with that post.

I can tell you guys will try for a very long time even without encouragement. That is a fact.

My phone doesn't have a block on the text app.

That said, she is responding to him, even if it's "don't talk to me like that" as opposed to just ignoring him.

THAT said.... she was honest about it.

Yes. It's about the only favorable thing I can look at in this situation. She could easily say nothing if she wanted something more with this idiot, and I would be none the wiser.

Zentropa made some good points.

Why do you think she shared the info?

She brought it up because I asked if she was still in touch with any men she had been involved with in the past.
