Would love to get some different opinions...
I've been seeing this guy and he seems fantastic, like the most interesting candidate I've had since my divorce minus one. However, there is one thing he does, and its a red flag for me. My friends think it's a bit odd too, so yet again, I come to the Disboards for ya'll's ultimate guidance.
He's twice now cut me off from telling a story that involved an ex, saying he never wants to hear about my exes. Ok, i get that. I'm not a ogre, I understand that you don't discuss indelicate things about your exes. I do think that the general axiom of "if it happened in public, or could have, its fine" is a good way to behave. Other people have been in my life. One I was setting up to be the time an ex and I discovered the Irish version of deliverance, the other involved sea lions in San Diego. We're NOT talking about "omg, my ex used to do that and it was so annoying/wonderful" or whatever. We're talking about funny/noteworthy bits of life, that happened to have an ex in it.
I'm open to any thoughts. An ex boyfriend remains a good friend and he assured me, firmly, that I don't do the ex thing. IDK, its just got my spidey senses tingling all over.
