I understand we speak how we speak. Accents and where we are from often are where we get certain sayings, words and pet names from. Also personality wise. We will see things how we see them. We are who we are.
But I made the mistake last night of looking through my boyfriends ex's page. We've all been there I bet. It seems locked down now. But it was open throughout their relationship. I ended up scrolling through and realising he calls me the same nicknames. He says the same sentances when saying he loves me. He calls us both his world in the same way. She's written a status saying how he treats her like a gentleman. Walks roadside and carries heavy bags. Opens heavy doors. Which he does. He said his mum raised him as a single mum and always told him to treat women properly. He said he remembers how it upset him how his dad treated her and has always remembered her words.
He occasionally sends a thoughtful gift to me. He doesn't like Christmas etc and says he likes sending gifts naturally when he sees something to make a person happy. I can see he did the same for his ex. She's shared a few of the random treats she received and I then stupidly read the comments under the photo of him saying lovely things exactly how he does to me.
It's my own fault for snooping. It felt weird seeing his old life like that. But I don't feel I'm doing anything like my past relationships. Absolutely nothing feels the same as they are different men.
So out of curiosity has anyone felt they are being treated exactly like the ex?
Nice replies please. I know I've been nosey but I would appreciate experiences.
