Go only if you can take her, and take her only if she's hotter than your ex.
 
2012-04-03 11:08:32 AM
Yeah, sure. That would be a great idea. And be sure to drink a lot of booze. And have some fireworks handy. And maybe a bonfire and a 5 gallon can of gas. And set up some video cameras.

stick a fork in him, he's dumb

"Dear Dumbass,
Absolutely! In fact, I highly recommend you pepper in zingers like 'Remember when I used to serve YOU the hot meat?' and 'We all know how much the ex loves sausage!'"
 
2012-04-03 12:16:47 PM
Perfect opportunity for a three way. I vote go for it.

SurfaceTension: Go only if you can take her, and take her only if she's hotter than your ex.

There is that. However I still have to go with the Rule: Never get ex and current in the room at the same time.
 
2012-04-03 12:42:41 PM
Bring a camera.
 
2012-04-03 12:43:15 PM
Respectfully decline.

Unless you think you have a shot at the 3 way.

Go for it. Be sure to get really drunk and screw on her front lawn.

You still have that rapier wit, I see. Speaking of which- *STAB-STAB-STAB*

Only go if your ex also has a significant other.

wambu: "No stabs to his penis? She's doing it wrong." - Lorena Bobbit

CSB...I used to work in a ski resort cafeteria and one day she was there not too long after that story was big news. People kept going up to her to get her to cut their hot dogs in half...it was pretty funny.

/guess you had to be there.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: There is that. However I still have to go with the Rule: Never get ex and current in the room at the same time.

This seems like a good rule. The things that can go wrong in that scenario are legion. I've lost track of the happy crap I've told my girlfriend about my exes to get her to stop thinking troubling thoughts and go back to sleep. If any of those questions were ever addressed by an ex, it would cause a fracture in the fabric of the universe itself.

/ If you can avoid it, never give the names of your exes, either. There's too much information out there.
 
2012-04-03 12:50:01 PM
I went to my ex-husband's 50th birthday cookout. All was cool. I did make a snarky remark about the crappy cake. But considering he has a pastry chef for a step-son, I feel I was justified. lol


first 2 yrs after we divorced I did want to kill him tho. happily divorced for 21 yrs.
 
2012-04-03 12:51:16 PM
Definitely. Especially if she doesn't know she's your ex yet.
 
2012-04-03 12:51:43 PM
Let's ask Admiral Ackbar his opinion...

My ex decided to bring his new girlfriend to my boyfriend's new years eve party. The ex and I are still good friends, but his new woman flipped out on him after he and I spent about 15 minutes catching up.

Stick a fork in him....

He's done.
 
2012-04-03 12:52:09 PM
I bet this guy was looking for trouble. I have to wonder why the Ex invited him though. Was she hoping to reignite the romance and was c*nt-blocked by the surprise new girlfriend?

My ex is on wife #6. How significant can she be?

good rule. I've done everything in my power to make sure the wife does not know or ever meet an ex.

i don't fear violence. I just don't like to be in awkward situations... where it's like:

wife, here's some lady I've had sex with.

lady I've had sex with, here's my wife.

so, let's all get nervous

Your girlfriend has serious jealousy issues, and you should probably run sooner rather than later.

/I speak from experience
 
2012-04-03 12:54:15 PM
No! What the hell, man? Are you stupid or something? Does your ex have some godlike cooking ability? Take your current out to an awesome dinner and forget the ex.

It's fun when the ex was just a fark buddy and the current girlfriend has no idea.
 
2012-04-03 12:55:16 PM
Hi hun, this is what I traded up for!
 
2012-04-03 12:55:18 PM
Depends, is she a good cook? And is she likely to be willing to poison everyone just to get you?
 
2012-04-03 12:55:53 PM
*CSB*

Was at a cookout once. The hostess had just gotten a huge set of fake tits implanted.
Her ex boyfriend was there, and gently poked at one boobie with a BBQ fork and asked:
"Hey honey... those things real?"
A prompt beatdown ensued.

/Most memorable cookout I've ever attended

*End CSB*

"Wow... we must be the first ones here. No one else has arrived. Anyways, here is your replacement, hehehe. She isn't a biatchy as you, thank god. I see you haven't gotten the grill ready yet. Typical. I'm gonna go grab a beer and... hey, I didn't know you got a gun... wait, uh, I hope that thing isn't loaded they way you are waving it around like tha-"
 
2012-04-03 01:01:05 PM
Or, invite your current girlfriend to a party at the house of the girl you're cheating on her with, where everyone knows the situation except the girlfriend.

It's been 12 years, and I'm still amazed he found the balls to pull that off. (I was the girlfriend.)
 
2012-04-03 01:01:10 PM
When people only date within their social circle they end up in situations like this. All his friends may be at this cookout.


Don't date where you eat, fool.

My ex-boyfriend, with his far-hotter-than-me wife come to my annual backyard party every year, no problem. But then it has been about 35 years since we went together.

/if it weren't for him, I'd probably not have developed such an appreciation of old cars!
//Thanks Robert!

Huck Chaser: Your girlfriend has serious jealousy issues, and you should probably run sooner rather than later.

/I speak from experience


She does, but she's the only woman I've ever dated who I love enough to lie to for the rest of my life. I eventually figured out that the correct response is to not answer any questions and let her settle on whatever backstory makes her happy.

/ Other than the couple of times a year she wakes me up to confirm that I have never slept with a randomly selected girl on my Facebook profile and am not planning to, it's really great. She's a tall blond with a smoking hot body, she cooks well, she's intelligent, and we get along well when we travel. Three years without being murdered so far.

Did this once, current behaved like a scolded 7 y/o. She's now an ex.

I've been in the room with my ex's boyfriends many times, it's like watching slow death. Sometimes I pity the bastards because they're frequently decent guys.

An ex of mine wanted to invite me to her wedding. This was about 5 months after we broke up and the guy was the main one that she cheated on me with. An exotic dancer friend of mine wanted to be my date to the wedding and wanted me to bring nude pics of the bride. And she wanted to have sex on the cake too. And she would have too.

LOL No, although I would have at least got a divorce settlement from Larry! All I have to show, besides my beloved son, is a KitchenAid stand mixer. So I got that going for me.

Start chipping away at her self esteem. She will do whatever you want...

You can tell the difference between adults and children.

Adults can get over it and carry on a normal conversation with their ex and whoever that ex is currently with. If you haven't gotten over the breakup, don't invite the ex.
 
2012-04-03 01:07:35 PM
Meh, I've been at various gatherings with ex's and current SO's together, and nothing eventful has happened. Of course, I can differentiate past lovers into "crazy and/or potential crazy" and "normal", and adjust accordingly.

/really doesn't have much "crazy" in my past.
//must be doing something wrong.
 
2012-04-03 01:07:57 PM
Did she yell "FORK YOU!" as she stabbed him? Because if you don't yell "FORK YOU" when stabbing someone with barbeque forks, then you're just not doing it right.

Sometimes obvious dangers are unexpected because we do not understand the potential volatility of unknown interactions. Ex Gfs, and global warming.

Fortunately I think he'd only have to make this mistake once for the lesson to make itself known. Some people are told that fire is hot. Some people just have to find out for themselves.

Also from experience: Run man, Run!

heh heh...on the Facebook note, she was worried about a certain popular Farkette.

No, that is funny. She was a good sport to do it. It's a shame there are no pics.

If you GIS her name, one of the first pics is of her hubby's severed penis. He must have been a grower.

Do you have the pasta maker attachment? That might make it worthwhile.
