Never cross the streams

Today, I drove my ex-boyfriend home from dropping his car at the garage for new tires. On the way, I drove past my house where my boyfriend was sitting in the driveway ready to surprise me. My boyfriend watched us drive by. FML

Today, I went out with my ex-boyfriend on a date. The night consisted of me sitting in the back seat of his friend's truck while they drove around to pick up things for the party they were going to have that same night. After they picked everything up, he asked where I wanted to get dropped off. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML

Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML

Today, I was dropping my new boyfriend off at his house. I'd never been there before, so he was giving me directions as I drove. We passed a small trailer home on the right. Without thinking, I said, "I'm so glad I don't live in a house like that." My boyfriend told me to turn right. FML

Today, I wanted to surprise my boyfriend by showing up at his place unannounced with some take-out food. I got there just in time to see him leave his block of flats with another girl. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, my boyfriend called me as I was getting ready for bed and asked me to pick him up from the bar. Being a loving girlfriend I drive the 45 minutes; when I get there his friend informs me he left about 45 minutes ago. FML

Not that your boyfriend has a right to know your every move, but this could have been prevented if you simply communicated with him. It is as simple as, "Hey honey I still talk with Ex and he needs someone to give him a ride..." Usually if you are hanging out with an ex, the current boyfriend likes a heads up. Why you would hide this I don't know. But for future reference say something to the person you are with then there won't be mistakes/assumptions made.

The rule is: you don't stay in touch with your ex once you meet someone else. You don't talk to them, you don't see them and you don't help them. If you meet them randomly in the store or somewhere, you ignore them. If they are starving on the street, you let them die of hunger. NO CONTACT ALLOWED. It's that simple. Do you think your boyfriend is happy that a guy you probably had sex with is hanging out with you, even for just 30 minutes? He probably doesn't like your ex thinking about you and the intimate moments you had. I bet you did not think about that... And no, friendship is not OK after a break up. It's not even necessary. There are 4 billion men on the planet, you do not need to be friends with the few you have dated. YDI for breaking the rule. Consider yourself lucky if he did not break up after that.

No, she was in the car with the ex, so the fault for this would be on her. An ex is someone you were romantically involved with. It is easy to see why the current boyfriend would be hurt. She is to blame, not for being friends with the ex or trying to do a good deed, but for thinking that her boyfriend is not entitled to know that they still hang out. In relationships is is all about communication. Despite it being a "simple misunderstanding" or the like, people in general tend to jump to conclusions. Girl in car with ex + not informing boyfriend = cheating. She could have spent two seconds telling BF and it would have been okay. The fact that she did not, despite "innocence," makes her seem suspicious.

FIrstly, being friends with your exes is very important for the following reason - if you piss them off and they start making up rumors, people WILL believe them. I'm not saying you need to help them, but staying on pleasant terms couldn't hurt. If your boyfriend has been cheated on in the past, he's probably gonna jump to conclusions, but the reason you didn't tell him about helping out your ex is because YOU know it's harmless but HE will look at it in a negative way. If you kissed another guy, you should tell your boyfriend but if you're just helping out a friend and you KNOW it's over with them (it IS right?) then nobody needs to know about it. I realize this situation made you look bad but it's not your fault. there's no way in hell you could have possibly predicted that your boyfriend would just happen to randomly be there at that place and time. You knew it was a risk and you still took it, but that doesn't mean you deserve what happened.
