Laura's situation is very delicate, isn't it? If I were in her place, I couldn't tell a new boyfriend about an ex-boyfriend.
But it seems for me some women like to tell their boyfriend about what their ex-boyfriend did for them and they like to get pleased to see the reaction of the boyfriend. I'm a woman, but sometimes I think women are cruel. How do you think?
L: How was your weekend, Bob? B: Pretty good. I just worked around the house. L: Mine was kind of hectic
. My ex-boyfriend called me. B: Uh-oh. L: He said he wanted to get together for a coffee. I said I was too busy.
L: Yeah… kind of. B: That's the only reason a man calls his ex-girlfriend. Does your new boyfriend know about this? L: Of course not. I felt awkward
and couldn't tell him.
