Please no re-posts. Have to keep name changing as shameful newspapers have posted a couple of the things I've posted (not related to this story). Not even sure if this is a share worthy story anyway, but just don't do it please as it causes me distress.

anyway, back to my op.

I have had 3 serious relationships. 3 men, who live within say a 30 mile radius. all linked to one woman in one way or another who lives in another area 😅 and sometimes it just baffles me and I want to talk about it. The 3 men do not know each other or know they are linked. Well the 3rd relationship, Dp, who I've been with for 10 years might if he was to ever listen to me 😅

let's call the woman Jackie.

relationship 1: let's call ex 1 Bob, Bob had an uncle, his mums brother, bobs uncle was in a relationship with jackie who was a divorcee with grown up children. I was besotted with Bob but didn't end well.

relationship 2: let's call him Tom. I had a baby with Tom, only after being with him a few mo the, not that our son is really relevant in this. Tom had a stepdad called Nick, Nick is the ex husband of Jackie and father of their children. Despite being divorced they will still very close and on good terms despite both being in new relationships (Jackie with Bob's uncle). It pains me to admit it but when I split with Tom, I briefly starting seeing Bob again. Tom found out and despite that we had split up went mad and said he was gonna track him down and beat the shit out of him (I know, cringe!). I told him he had no idea who he was or where he lived and he would never find him (nothing on social media or anything). But realistically he could have found him easily through his stepdads fucking ex wife's boyfriend. It never happened, thank god. They didn't know the link. They lived 30 miles apart.

relationship 3 and partner of 10 years and the my soul mate (I know, cringe again!). Let's call my partner Fred. Prior to being in a relationship with me Fred had a 4 year relationship with a lady called Sarah who had 2 kids with ex husband. Didn't know the link or anything for a long while bug turns out Sarah's ex husband and 'Jackie' are brother and sister. Bit far out now but basically my partners ex and Jackie used to be sister in laws. Making Tom's step brothers and my partners old step kids cousins 😅

I would understand if we all lived in the same town but we don't. Each person is from a different area within 30 radius.

I just sometimes think shit does Jackie even know who I am. I met her briefly once at Christmas when with ex 1. I've met her children lots of times in the past. Being my sons step uncles too 😅I've also met hackles parents as they were weirdly still close to their ex son in law when I was with his stepson.

sorry if I've confused anyone. I confuse myself.

I've always felt spun out by this. Would anyone else? Or is it my autistic & anxious brain spinning out a situation that really isn't a situation?

my partner thinks I'm mad too 😅

Weird conicidnece!

My recent ex... we found out not long into our relationship that the woman he was dating before and the man I was dating before were now dating each other.
None of us were connected and we all met at different times on different dating websites!! About a 20 mile radius for us.

Perhaps you're in each other's extended circles.. I feel like you need to meet Jackie.. perhaps you're meant to be in each other's lives!
