Sorry, couldn't really think of a better title. Here's the sitch. My girlfriend is in IL for the summer, I'm in CO. This isn't a problem. At the end of August, I'm spending close to 500 bucks to go to St. Louis for a weekend with her, and a Japanese Festival. Now, for the backstory. My girlfriend is still friends with her ex. I have no real problem with this, as long as I don't have to deal with him. He's said some pretty nasty things to her in the past, and I don't like him, simple as that. He now lives in New Mexico. About a week ago, he called her and asked her if she would be ok with him going to the festival...aka, could he come to the festival and hang out with her. She told him that I would be here, but that he was free to come, that it wouldn't make her uncomfortable. The end result? He's coming. Now, my girlfriend is extremely nice, and will do anything to spare someone's feelings...including being distant with me while he's around. So now, I'm spending close to 500 bucks to go hang out with a "friend" for the weekend, and her ex. I'm completely not happy about this, but she doesn't understand, and says that I'm being jealous. Jealousy? I won. I've got the girl...I'm not jealous, I just didn't want to spend 500 bucks to see my girlfriend, and her not act like my girlfriend. Am I wrong to see it this way?
No, you're not wrong. I can understand where you're coming from. Maybe you should talk to her about her acting distant, and see if she can attempt to act like your girlfriend even with the ex- around. Just a thought.
I say tell her how you feel, you are putting forth effort to see HER and she's spending the time with a third wheel.
yeah man seriously. shes your girl she shouldnt be bending over backwards for an ex especially one that has said mean shit to her. and if your spending that much cash to be with her dont let that fucker ruin it. tell her how it is and if she doesnt like it let her go to the festival alone.
