My boyfriend's ex girlfriend

<p>I kind of think this is a funny situation, maybe you'll agree with me. I'm not quite sure what to think of it.</p>

<p>The guy I am dating right now broke up with his last girlfriend this past summer, and she just transferred into my LAC this semester. I talked a little with her on Facebook about my LAC and offered to help with settling in. I thought that it might be nice to be friends, seeing as how she's the friend of some of my friends and I would like to start off on the right foot.</p>

<p>Yesterday was the first time I met her in person, because it turns out that she's in my Psychology class. Another one of my friends ends up being in my class, too. All three of us start talking and end up chatting about one of my boyfriend's best friends (I'll call him "Tom", because this is starting to get confusing), who recently broke up with another one of my friends (I'll call her "Sara"). Tom is currently rooming with my boyfriend. My boyfriend's ex starts talking about how much she loves Tom and how they kind of had a thing in the past. Then we start talking a little about Sara. Just then, Sara walks into the class, and it turns out that she's taking the class, too. She sits down next to me and my friend, with the ex sitting behind us.</p>

<p>My boyfriend's ex gf is now in my psych class, and I don't think she has any idea that Tom's ex gf is also in that class. The class went by pretty smoothly, except I felt kind of nervous. It's silly, but I was constantly imagining that I was being sized up with every comment or flip of the hair. She and my boyfriend had a pretty bad break up, and I'm not quite sure she's over him.</p>

<p>Any advice or comments? How can I feel more comfortable in this class? Switching classes is not an option, because it fits my schedule perfectly and I really want to take this class. Plus I think switching would be somewhat of a cowardly and drastic move. Any personal experiences?</p>

<p>To be honest, I got lost and confused about halfway through. My advice would be to stop worrying about relationship drama and just focus on the class - you know, the actual reason why you're there.</p>

<p>How about, nobody cares.</p>

<p>They teach Psychology in high school?</p>

<p>what i've sifted out from this post (forgive me if i'm wrong) is that you're worried it'll be awkward to take a class with your boy's ex.</p>

<p>bottom line: he's with you.</p>

<p>Stop dating.</p>

<p>That was confusing. In other terms, you are spending far too much time on this for anything productive to come of it.
Is it such a small class that you can't talk to anyone else?</p>

<p>This is why I didn't go to an LAC - it's like high school all over again, only more expensive. </p>

<p>Anyway, if I were you I would be friendly with your boyfriend's ex (I don't mean necessarily be friends, just be nice) and try to introduce Sara to her as Tom's gf. That way, she'll get the hint he's off-limits, and if she tries to pull anything, don't get involved...haha.</p>

<p>Sounds like a soap opera.....I'd sit on the other side of the classroom and avoid any potential drama.</p>

<p>Omgeh teh ex in class!!!!</p>

<p>"They teach Psychology in high school?"
Well said.</p>

<p>thats an awkward situation you have there</p>

<p>Don't worry about it. You probably won't even remember his/her/their/whoever's name next year.
Focus on yourself and your studies.</p>

<p>Here's a thought, dump him and start enjoying the hook up scene like a real college kid.</p>

<p>@@@@ The class went by pretty smoothly, except I felt kind of nervous. It's silly, but I was constantly imagining that I was being sized up with every comment or flip of the hair.@@@@@@@</p>

<p>Are you sure you are not lesbian???</p>

<p>I think that the best move is to have sex with the ex yourself before she gets to your bf. That way both you and you bf will kind of be on equal footing and there won't be a problem. If you two are really close and feel confidant, you could even use the ex as the third "guest."</p>

<p>also: are you cuter than she is?</p>

<p>if so, just think about THAT whenever she's around..</p>

<p>That is awkward. Just remember why you're in class and ignore any petty drama she gives you. If she acts stupid, it's not your fault that she thinks she's still in high school.</p>
