Last month I had posted about going to a wedding with my husband and meeting two of his exes there. At the time, I was upset because I felt like I didn’t look good with being almost 7 months pregnant and the girls he used to date are pretty much the opposite of me. Since then we have talked about it and I feel more confident in myself and our relationship.

So last night we had another wedding to go to with basically the same people because the one family’s youngest was getting married now. This time around, I took my time getting ready and making sure I felt comfortable yet beautiful. I wish I got pictures but oh well.

We got to the ceremony and talked with everyone. I received several comments on looking great and it made me feel so good! When the ceremony started and the bridal party was walking down the aisle, I saw the ex. If you read my previous post, she was the one that kept making eyes at my husband and dancing in front of him.

Fast forward to the reception. We’re all having a good time. People are dancing and drinking. It’s getting late so we go to find the bride and groom to say goodbye for the night. Before we get to them, the ex steps right in front of us and starts talking to my husband and introduces herself to me. Now I learned from before that this girl is still a friend of my husband’s which I’m cool with because a) I’m not going to keep him from having friends that are girls b) he’s helped her through some tough times (her Dad recently passed away and it destroyed her) c) they were never really “officially” dating. He lead her on and realized it wasn’t a relationship he wanted so he let her down. Not good on his part for doing that but at least it’s in the past.

So she’s talking to us and asking what’s new. My husband is always the one to bring up the baby. She didn’t seem too thrilled about that and changed the subject pretty quick. I should mention here that she is drunk. Like she can barely keep her eyes open and is swaying. She starts unloading what has happened to her since she talked to my husband last. At first I was judging her for being so sloppy drunk and thinking thank god my husband isn’t with her or else he would be a mess too. But then I started feeling bad for her. We talked with her some more (I say we but it was really my husband and I chimed in a bit) and you could tell that friendship meant a lot to her.

We said our goodbyes and left for the night. Of course we talked about that encounter on the way to the hotel. This time around I didn’t feel “threatened” by meeting his ex. If anything it showed me that my husband is a compassionate person and will help his friends whether they’re new or old with what they are going through. It can be intimidating when you meet your SO exes but remember they chose you for a reason.
