Well, what a day........

Today started off okay. I mean, I woke up....lol. First thing 2nd BM called me(lets call her BM2). She was nice, just called to say she just wanted to be friends because she wanted to know where her son would be going. Ok I understand that. Also to say that she thought talking to me would be less awkward than her talking to DH, which is true. And to say she was sorry that she was kinda mean when I cooled things off with her. She told me more things about DH which I asked him about, most I already knew, some he said were just untrue.
So then I go to town, come home, send DH a text and nothing. Usually he texts me back immediately because that's the only way we can communicate during the day. But nothing until 10 when he calls. He sounds down, but I can tell it's more than just fatigue. So he tells me he's still mad at me. So here's the story on that. A couple of months ago we went somewhere as a family and a guy I slept with once a long time ago was there. I had never ran into anyone like that before so knowing that hearing about my past makes DH jealous and upset, I opted to say nothing. But I realized later that I would have to say something because it was somewhere that I would be going again and he would be there, and DH might think I had a sinister reason not to tell him if he found out some other way. Then all this came up and I just forgot about it until I was invited to this place again a few days ago. I told DH about it as soon as I spoke to him again and told him I just wouldn't go if it made him uncomfortable. But he blew up and accused me of lying about it. I tried to explain, and thought that we had talked it out, but obviously not. So tonight he wouldn't answer my text and made me feel bad about it again. I kept talking and him giving yes and no and uh huh to everything. Maybe I should have just told him right there as soon as I realized who the guy was but I think if you run into someone like that, there should be no reason to tell the other person especially if you know it will hurt them, and because besides saying hi I never spoke to him. I don't know, I'm confused about what I should have done.
And I'm poed because when it came to BM1 he never told me he had slept with her until she came up pregnant, and she was someone I was around everyday. So why am I the liar?
Ugh, I'm so angry right now, and our marriage is in fragile shape to begin with because all of this came up right before deployment. We can't be together to talk things out face to face, and I think that exaggerates all problems.
But at least this takes my mind off of BM2...I'll take anything right now.

Okay I do understand the deployment factor as in what now feels like a past life I was involved in A long term military relationship and yes I believe most military people are more paranoid about their spouses due to some of the wrought stuff I later found out that these poor men have done to them on deployment by their spouses,but in saying that you went to a park and when you left he had another child I think that trumps his whinning that you had sex before you met him! Sorry I guess I should have warned you : Life is too short to waste time pussy footing.If your able to cope with several of his ex lovers semi- perminant in your life as BMS then he really should suck it up and get over it- its not like you had a deep conversation with this man when you ran into him or took a phone number so no I really don't see this as his reason to be upset with you but maybe just an undesirable personality trait.

I had a (smaller) similar experience... my man and I bumped into someone I had dated (breifly) who was someone he knew. when he found out he was very jealous but when I explained to him that if I can deel every day with a woman he had a child with, then he could deal with a man I wasn't even serious about. He couldn't say anything after that, he knew he didn't have a leg to stand on. I would try to be sensitive to your mans very sensitive ego (they've all got them) and gently explain that. I have come across this with all men I've dated. They like to think they are the only men we've been with and when it comes up that they aren't, all this caveman jealous possesion shit comes up. It just gets exagerated when now we HAVE to deal with their past women. Be gentle but smack him in the face at what the fuck he's doing.
