Pretty much every single ex my husband has is friends with him on Facebook. He doesn’t talk to them, but I wouldn’t care if he did. Then again, we were only 17 when we got together, so those girlfriends hardly count as anything. I only had one boyfriend before Josh and I haven’t spoken to him since I was 18 and he called to brag that he just got out of jail for breaking into cars (yeah, you’re cool) and tell me how much he regretted cheating on me because I was a “good girl” and he’d missed his shot (yep, sure did). I recently googled his name and found a very recent mugshot – he’s 24 and balding, and he’s put on about 20–30 lbs since I’ve seen him. I seriously doubt Josh would be all that threatened if I had the displeasure of speaking to that ex again. He actually likes to make comments like, “hey, it’s okay if you’re into fat guys” just to get on my nerves. :)
If we were older and had significant past relationships, I don’t see why I’d have a problem with him talking to an ex. If I don’t trust him, that’s a problem that needs to be resolved. I wouldn’t object to going on a double date with an ex of his either. I’m way prettier than they are, anyway.
