Jim Morrison said it best; people are strange...Besides his increasing attempts to control who I talked to, saw or kept contact with, hitting on my girlfriends was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not one to date people in my age group (I'm 50, however look late 30s), but I figured I give him a shot as he had a good job, nice home, car, motorcycle & dog. He sort of swept me off my feet; I started seeing those little red flags but didn't pay too much attention at the time. Maturinty doesn't necessarily come with age was the lesson I learned.

Ahhh...the controlling type. shows that he is insecure in so many different ways. I used to get jealous and tried to be controlling in the past, but quickly figured out that it was completely pointless. If someone youre with wants to cheat, they certainly will find a way to, no matter how much you try to control them. Lately, i dont even ask women I date if they are married, have a bf or see any other guys. Its really none of my business. all i can do is be myself when with them, and if they dont appreciate me and dont want me as the only man in their lives, then another woman will. there is no shortage of beautiful, intelligent and great women so whats there to worry about?

Angry husbands or lovers for a start? Any woman who doesn't disclose that sort of info is a ratbag.

Exactly. I was just curious as I've basically dated younger men in the past after my divorce; none of whom had control or insecurity issues.

Not my business; kinda funny in a high school way but this man is over 50. Just curious if this behavior is typical in dating today?
My ex hub recently became ENGAGED to my very old school frenemy.

Not so odd...but it is when you consider she lives in another country, they have only even been in the same room twice, both times when I was there.

We have been divorced for 12 years and I found out about the engagement because -

She rang me while drunk to boast about it, and ended by saying "If it's a choice between him or you, you know I will choose you"

Not long after, he emailed me telling me he had to get it off his chest that he still loved me.

CREEPY MUCH?????????????? yep. But they deserve each other.

While we were in the relationship, he showed me how to hide my friends on FB so that only I could see them; I then realized that he had done that & I couldn't see his friends anymore either, only the mutual ones. However, I had realized but not really paid a whole lot of attention to...that most of his friends were women...After I dumped him, he deleted me as a friend as well as my girlfriend who he had made a hard core pass at as well as another friend from work who wasn't going along with his email stalking to her about me. He kept as facebook friends a number of other girls who I"m friends with through other friends...he had a fake facebook page that I didn't even know about that was friends with me so he could keep tabs on me which, once I found out, I unfriended as he was keeping tabs on me that way...ugh!

The guy is just trying to add more chicks to the roster. More chicks on the roster = more dates, more fwb, more female friends that could turn into fwb later on.

I don't see what the problem is.

Well, then thats who she is -still doesnt effect me. An angry husband or a lover, needs to be angry with her, because she is the one making those choices.
