His ex girlfriend is trying to get some attention now that he's getting married. What should I do?

Elissa, on May 4, 2014 at 2:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 30

Turns out that my FH's ex girlfriend dumped him after a three year relationship with him. Then a year passed and my FH started dating me. As soon as she found out she added him on facebook as a friend and she's acting very friendly with him. They are now friends but no more than that. But she has called him sometimes knowing that he's in a relationship with me and she invited him to her birthday party, and asks him to hang out with some her and some of their common friends. I met her one time because my FH and I were hanging out with some people and she was there. And she kept talking to him in front of me. We were at an ice-cream shop and she said: "Can I try some of your ice-cream?" WTF??? My FH doesn't have feelings for her anymore but it seems like now she regrets leaving him, especially now that we're getting married because she knows it. She even called him on New Years Eve knowing that he was probably out with me having dinner. FH didn't answer but it was her on the called ID.

    Continued...

    So she's just rude and immature. She needs to move on and grow up. She continues doing stupid stuff maybe to make me mad or to try to get his attention back. Since she's friends with my FH on facebook, she commented on a photo one time where she's in. It was an old photo from the past. And she's like: "i'm so beautiful". Saying stuff to her own self so that my FH reads it. Pathetic!!!! My FH deleted the photo by the way because he also thought it was immature from her to do that. I have tolerated MANY things from her. And today I got BEYOND PISSED and that's why I had to write a post about this. Today I saw on FB that she's writing stuff to my in laws saying that she's sorry that things didn't go well in the past with my FH. Is it time to tell her something? She's really getting in my nerves because she doesn't act mature. But I'm scared that if I tell her something we will both look immature. Like we're fighting or something...

    He needs to stop this. He needs to unfriend her on FB (and so does his family) and put her in the past. He should be focusing his attention on you and his upcoming marriage.

    Have a talk with FH, things have gone too far now and she should not be in his life as she clearly doesn't want to be just friends.

    First you have more control then me because if that shit happened to me at the ice cream shop I would have punched her in the face. Why is your FH still friends/ talking to her if she is causing so many problems. If it was my DH I would tell him to delete her and take care of it or I would. This is exactly why we both don't talk to our ex's to much drama. Btw I agree with everyone else he needs to delete her.

    He shouldn't even be in contact with her.

    I echo everything everyone's said. FH needs to shut her down and delete her. There is absolutely NO reason for them to friends and for her to be friends with his family. What a sad little girl!

    I had a similar problem with FH's ex in the beginning of our relationship. She broke up with him twice in their 2 year relationship. Once he got with me she would text him here & there, a lot of times saying inappropriate stuff in the texts. Like she would go into detail about her sex life with the guy she was dating at the time & in the middle of the texts she's like "I probably shouldn't be saying this since you have a gf." No s**** sherlock! She invited him to go bar hopping with her & a friend on her birthday & told him to bring me along. He declined to go of course. She even had the nerve on our one year anniversary trip to San Diego to text him & ask if we'd left yet. Like what were you going to do b****, hitch a ride with us? FH eventually put her on a restricted list on facebook & after a while she ended up deleting him from FB. Haven't heard a peep from her since (thank God)!

    I'm sorry you're going through this. But like everyone has said, FH needs to stop responding to her & block her. I seriously don't get girls like this!

    She's crossing over the friends line that people have with their exes and in that situation she needs to be deleted from his FB, period. I don't think there is anything wrong to be a friend with an ex on FB if lines aren't crossed, she has crossed the line.

    Wow...you must have a lot of self control! Like Weddingbliss said, had she asked Fh for some of his ice cream right in front of me I would have knocked her out. You have held your tongue pretty well with this situation. Unfortunately, these types of situation really can cause trust issues if not resolved. You really need to express to Fh how you feel (and how any girl would feel!) about what is going on with her. Seems like he knows it is an issue with her, so it shouldn't be an issue for him to cut ties. Wishing you the best sweety! Smiley smile

    So, why has he not dealt with this long ago? He needs to grow a set.

    I've been through this before a couple times. Once (in a past relationship) I jumped at the girl and gave her a piece of my mind telling her what I would do to her. I did all that and my ex took her side. It also happened with my FHs ex/bff and I just laughed. The more FH noticed how she was acting the more he hated her. Now he doesn't even talk to her.

    Don't let being jealous or the fact that this girl seems like a total bitch blind you from all you have. He CHOSE you, over her & over everyone else.

    Talk to him & let him know you're feelings, that way everything is out in the open.

    Then, the morning after the wedding, write on her Facebook wall & be like, "Checkmate, bitch."

    Yeah if you both know that she has feelings for him, why the hell is he still friends with her? He should realize its time to stop, without you even having to say something.

    My opinion is this.... He needs to unfriend her on fb. He also needs to tell her to respect his relationship. He needs to block her from his phone. Now when it comes to his family, sorry to say u cant do anything about that. He would have to say something also about that. Let her continue to look like a jeolous ex bec thats what she is doing. U dont have to scoop down to her level. Now more of my opinion...her telling his family that on fb shouldnt been your breaking point. Her doing that when it came to the ice cream part should of been. U is good bec if that was me let's just say it wouldnt been nice.

    Im not the jeolous type and im not saying u are. Dont let her see that she is getting to u bec she will only get worse. Tell urself im marrying him and he loves me. But talk to your FH and let him know your feelings on this. He have to respect your feeling especially since yall are about to become one.

    Tell him to strap his balls on and delete her. She's obviously having a hard time moving on now that she sees he has, so (above all else) out of kindness to her, he needs to cut the cord so she can move on. His family needs to delete her, too. I'm friends with a couple of exes, but we have been removed from our relationships for a very long time. I wouldn't even intro them as exes anymore; they are just friends.

    You don't have any reason to be jealous from what I read. Just tell him to handle it.

    Have a conversation with him about it and explain that you don't like the way his ex is acting. It's okay to be friends with an ex only if it's established between both parties that there are no feelings there anymore. Any other situation just gets messy, like the one you're in. I'm sorry you're going through this and good luck!
