By married and hates - 19/12/2010 18:51 - United States

Today, I got a call from an ex, demanding to know why my Facebook relationship status was set as married. I got married a few months ago, and I quietly explained this to her. My wife overheard and now thinks I've been cheating all along. FML

Unless your wife has serious self-esteem and jealousy issues, you can still explain it to her.

Should have been rude about it. That way, you don't have to worry about your ex and your wife will feel good that you "really told her!" Besides she is an ex... who care? Tell her your heart was able to somehow move on and you found someone you love and actually want to marry.

I think the wife's reaction is pretty normal. Most women would not immediately be extremely rationally when hearing their husband "quietly" telling an ex that he got married a few months ago. If there is a reason for her to be angry, it would probably be due to either an insecurity on her end, or maybe he has given her reason to be suspicious before. My husband randomly got an email from an ex right after our wedding ceremony telling him that she was in love with him and wishes she could be with him (even though she is still legally married to someone and we just got married). Because he told me straight up about it, and let her know exactly how it was (f-ing hating her and all that) it wasnt a big deal. If he tried to hide it- then I'd be pissed

uuhh oohh...Lucy... ju got some 'splainin to dooo !!!

facebook sucks. or more like some people who spend way too much time sticking their nose in other people's business on facebook suck. this is why I avoid it and I don't include every little detail of my life on there, and better yet, choose my FB friends wisely. ydi for being in touch with your control freak ex in the first place though.

What about those occasions where there our no hard feelings and it's simply that they learned that while they may love each other in a friend kind of way they weren't "in love" with each other? Not all Ex's are ex's because of some bad reason, some of them are ex's simply because the learned theirs was a relationship that didn't really work in that kind of capacity, it didn't have the spark.

that sucks. you shouldn't have answered the call op. You don't owe her an explanation.

ummm ydi because you don't owe your ex any explination it's your life!

So, op deserves his wife thinking he cheated on her because he wasn't a dick to his ex and explained his facebook status? Sorry, but no.

She's you ex, cut the cord, it's none of her business!
