It isn't really bothering me, but I had a coffee with a friend earlier who was surprised I am not worried/angry. Just interested in opinions.
When my gf and her ex split up (about 6 months before we began seeing one another) they had two dogs. They kept a dog each.
Gf's ex contacted her yesterday saying she can no longer keep the dog, does gf want the dog back. Gf said yes, and they met to walk the dogs together to talk and see if the dogs still accepted one another. They do.
Gf picked the dog up today.
Gf told me that when she met up with ex yesterday, Gf noticed ex didn't have her engagement ring on. Ex has been engaged for a couple of months and as far as Gf knew, was actively planning their wedding. They have mutual friends and live a few streets from one another, It's pretty much common knowledge in a small town.
Ex also asked about me, were we serious, was Gf happy, did she think we'd last among other similar questions. As they were parting, ex apparently grabbed gf for a hug and held on a bit too long. Gf said it made her a bit uncomfortable.
Today when Gf went to collect the dog, she saw both ex and her fiancé. They both had their rings on.
Prior to this, Gf has seen ex in the street a couple of times but they've not spoken.
From what she's told me, ex had cheated and it was a painful breakup.
I just mentioned it to friend as I am pleased she has got her dog back-I knew she was worried dog wasn't being properly cared for, and friend asked me how I felt about her meeting up with her ex. I thought, well It's necessary, how else could she have got the dog back.
Friend was really taken aback that I wasn't in some sort of incandescent rage about all this, as ex obviously wants gf back.
I am quite secure despite the distance, I don't think gf would get back with her ex whether I existed or not. Would it make you angry or is my friend overreacting?
