I'm only just back with my dh after we split for a time and suddenly I find Jolene is back in our county and wants to get back in touch with him?

Every time I sound off about the fact they got history and she's always fancied him people start singing fucking Dolly Parton!

Last time I got really torn up over it and confidied in my dsis and BIL he put the damn song on and laughed for a whole few minutes and I forgave him because everyone was a bit drunk and stoned but them
Mary Anne never lets me forget either and she's meant to be close family Angry

Just to clarify he'd never cheat on me and never has.

Er... Confused

Not sure if sleep deprived, or if this made little to no sense.

Jolene is a cracking song though. That's all I've got.

How is she a "love rival" then?

Nurse! She's out of bed again!

MeanAger · 02/07/2017 00:44

That's what my parents were going to name me before they saw sense.

Cavender · 02/07/2017 00:45

So if he hasn't been unfaithful and you trust him implicitly why are you getting upset?

SerfTerf · 02/07/2017 00:46

Who's Mary Anne? I fee like she needs her own song too. So many questions.

EssieTregowan · 02/07/2017 00:47

Are you stoned?

Mary Anne's lovely and I shouldn't have blamed her

Well, that was a quick turnaround,

ErrolTheDragon · 02/07/2017 00:49

Could be worse. If I hear the name 'Jolene' I remember the infamous shower scene in The Archers.

Oh I really hoped you wouldn't get back with him. I really do hope he's changed.

Tartyflette · 02/07/2017 00:49

Do you live in Borsetshire, OP?
Jolene's got a bit of history there too....

SerfTerf · 02/07/2017 00:50

Oh good. Mary Anne sounds like a good guy. The name, I mean.

Red Jolene isn't the problem...

EssieTregowan · 02/07/2017 00:51

Oh I've just realised who you are.

Why on earth are you back with him?

Tartyflette · 02/07/2017 00:51

Whoops. Cross post with Errol

ExplodedCloud · 02/07/2017 00:52
