Well yeah it would have been super uncomfortable, I would have left as well then if I actually liked you text you with an explanation later, I have sever and I mean deadly severe anxiety and that situation is spiking it and I wasn't even there.
I'd have left as well, she could never know if you're crazy ex is going to be crazy enough to stalking and harassing her as well, also has the potential to be dangerous. consider a restraining against the ex
Maybe the girl left only because there was an ex showing up. Unpleasant situation in itself. Worse if the ex confirmed some bad gut feeling that she had and couldn't decide if it's worth listening to.
To be frank, I'm not really interested in dating to begin with, but if I were and I went on one only for the other person's ex to show up and start harassing me for the sake of getting back at them, in the middle of a public area, I'd probably abandon ship. Someone willing to risk making an ass of themself to make a point is in a slippery slope and more often than not stuff like this event is usually how the "psychotic ex of a date" thing starts. Which, expecting someone to deal with that for someone they're casually seeing and possibly have no pre-existing relationship with, is a bit unfair. There's also entirely the possibility that the ex showing up and bitching about OP was the last straw to annoy the girl enough that she wanted to cut her losses before either of them formed any major emotional attachments to each other. Either way, if this has happened before or the ex has other stalker-like behavior, OP needs to get it handled in a legal manner before the shit really hits the fan. Now, all of this is assuming that OP's ex doesn't have a valid point and wasn't giving a genuine warning about OP having some sort of bad habit or trait. If they were giving a genuine warning, then... Well, OP needs to sort that out. Which isn't 100% impossible- I don't know OP in the physical world, and have no clue what they're like, so they could be an absolute bastard and the warning was a fair one. I'd like to say it's probably not the case, but again, don't know that.
That's what I'm saying. I would have peaced out too.
Personally, I'd leave too if my date's ex showed up and started drama. If it begins like that, what kind of shit happens at Thanksgiving dinner? **** that. There are tons of other people to have a first date with, that don't have that kind of chaos and instability in their lives.
I wish I could do this to my ex's wife. Been married two months now but has only known her for nine months....he's a terrible person let alone boyfriend. I can only imagine him as a husband especially since he only married her due to a pregnancy. He almost married the girl he got pregnant in high school that he'd known for three months so it's not like it's new.
I think sometimes a person is a "bad partner" simply because of the dynamics in that particular relationship. A "bad boyfriend" could be a perfect match with someone else. I don't think it's fair for an ex to "warn" a new date of anything they experienced. It's completely possible those circumstances ONLY occurred because of the way those two personalities connected (or not).
Certain things, like abuse, I think if there's a chance to warn others you should.
If all you have to say about this new girl is that she was pretty maybe ydi? I mean, was there anything more to her? At all? However, if you were decent to your ex then fyl
your date shouldn't have left. specially if the date was going well, she could have waited for your ex to leave and then talk with you about it.... for all she knows your ex could be a psycho ex, an stalker ex or an obsessed ex.

This FML is tricky, I don't know what to vote. Your ex could really have been terrible or maybe you were actually a bad boyfriend..
If she's gonna believe some girl that just showed up without giving you a chance you're better off anyway.
