hi guys

Great site here! I have been lurking here for a while and I just finally found reason enough to post. Sorry if it is another girl thread.

My Girlfriend went out with a guy for years when she was about 17/18 in highschool who fucked her up real bad (she is now 24, I am 25) - telling her to quit smoking and to either choose smoking or him blah blah etc then she broke it off with him and didn't talk to him for years. Early last year she got together with him and told him how much he hurt her back than and he had no idea and apologised (he had a girl at the time, she was still single)

Ok, now I've been dating this girl since a few months after that and everything has been great.On Sunday she mentions how there was some antismoking thing on tv and it got her thinking to quit. Then she brought up the story of how this ex used to be so hard on her to quit and all that stuff.. Now, yesterday, she is online and she tells me he came online to talk to her, to say that he was putting together a photo scrapbook and found pics of him and her and got to remembering stuff and just wanted to tell her (again) how sorry he was for hurting her. She tells me how nice this makes her feel.

I then ask why he would find it necessary to apologize again & remind her this much later unless he really still had feelings for her or whatever? That whole photo scrapbook thing seems like a sham to me, I don't know him so I cannot judge - but it seems a bit too coincidental. She then says for me to believe her that he didn't mean it like that to which I then start asking her to look at it objectively and she says she can't and that I'm overreacting and not respecting her feelings and trying to ruin it for her or something.

Of course jealousy plays a role in this but I wasn't saying for her not to talk to him or anything - just questioning his motives.. Now she says I hurt her feelings and she is being all quiet on me.

Am I overreacting?

This is turning into a relationship forum.

I'm not really the best person for girl advice, but my thoughts are that you didn't overreact, at least not the way you describe it. I think what you should do at this point is back off and monitor the situation from afar, if you know what I mean. If you see things escalating, if it looks like the guy is going to try to make a move on your girl, then step in.

(For the record, I actually think she's the one who's overreacting by saying you hurt her feelings. The way you tell the story it sounds more like you're just trying to look out for her, I don't think you're being unreasonable or domineering...I don't know why her feelings should be hurt. Females )

He got bored and cant find anything better right now so he is recycling.

She is a drama queen.

Let her do what she wants- Offer help if you have to.

If you dont like it- dump her- Just the kind of girls she is.
Always the victim.

well ask yourself this ... in fact you probably have many a time by now.

You dont know the guy personally, but why on earth would be create a scrapbook of pics from their relationship which ended years ago? ...
i dont think someone like an ex boyfriend of 4-5-6 years or whatever would go to that length of trouble because he felt like it... there has to be some reasoning behind it.

Perhaps he misses the relationship they had together, the guy is obviously thinking about it a lot, and maybe wants to remind her of the good times they had.

Just my opinion on it, i have been hurt a lot in the past by girls and their ex's so i have a trust problem sometimes

I agree in that she is over reacting.. u are looking out for her and dont want her to get hurt in any way, but give it a little time and see what develops if ne thing and if it does then that is the time to say something more to her.. but try not to be too pushy about it until then cause ull drive her away from you.

Agony Aunt eat yer heart out :P

Just buy her a carton of smokes and get her re-addicted. If she ends up leaving you at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that she'll irritate this guy to no end with her incessant smoking, and he'll do the same to her in return.

no, it always has been the clillout room!

That guy is going to just fuck up your relationship, just make her feel like you want her more than him.

I'd just trust the girl, if you feel you can. if she says theres nothing going on, then there isnt. depends on the girl though.

id just leave it alone

I'd slap him. Cant say I've actually read the problem there, but hey, you only live once. Whatever he's done/hasn't done, it's worth a slap at least.
