DH starting new job where my ex works

4 replies

DH just lost his job but managed to get an immediate start next Monday working at a company to get some income in while he looks around.
When he told me the companys name, I was shocked because I remembered my ex works there, I’ve occasionally bumped into him in town and we've made small talk.
The relationship was intense and he was my first love, I was in my 20’s and I’m now 30. Do I let DH know my ex works there? They will bump into each other because I remember my ex telling me how he knew all the drivers and how they chatted

They may end getting along. Id wait and see if they meet and if he mentions that Dave works there they I’d be oh really I’ve no idea what ex Dave is up to, it’s been a few years. Even if I SM stalked him and new exactly what’s he’s been doing

Are you sure your ex still works there? I'd probably say something like "oh I'm sure ex used to work there". And leave it at that. Because he may or may not 🤷

It'll probably be fine, you are overthinking it

Yeah he definitely still works there as when we’ve bumped into each other he told me! And I’ve seen on social media too. I nearly told DH today but didn’t want to make it awkward because he’s actually really looking forward to starting now. I think I might just wait and see if they meet
