Question - (18 June 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 June 2014)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I don't know if this is normal or not.

I run in the same social circles as my significant other's ex-girlfriends that he has been intimate with before he met me.

It's next to impossible not to run into them at some point, some even on a daily basis, let's say they take a daily walk around town.

We are at that age were we have both have "lived" and have ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends.

At a recent social event, one of his ex-girlfriends approached me and we talked for quite a while. I actually ended up liking her. She was pleasant and we were both cordial to each other. My significant other's parents are best friends of her parents and they go way back. I knew her from high school.

After she broke up with my significant other (she had so many mental issues from her first marriage) she went on to break up my cousin's marriage, but that was my cousin's husband fault as much as hers. I believe this ex-girlfriend did my cousin a favor since he had so many personal problems, but that is my personal take on it. I would never tell my cousin that though.

Anyway, I ended up liking this ex-girlfriend of his.

Is this normal or would most women not be like this and not want anything to do with a significant other's ex-girlfriend or am I being a fool and not being cautious enough about an ex.

The OP here. She did cheat with my cousin's husband and that speaks volumes about her. He has a lot of money and she saw that according to what my cousin told me. But, my cousin's ex-husband is a serial cheater as well with many women stashed away in towns, which my cousin does not know about.

I won't be best buddies with the ex-girlfriend or socialize with this woman. If I see her at future events, and I can't avoid that due to the connection with my significant other's parents involvement with her parents, I will just be cordial and remain civil as well as with any other ex-girlfriends I may run into.

I hope I am taking the right approach.

YouWish agony auntShe's probably very cordial and charismatic, and there are plenty of times where exes may be very likeable.

However, what is this woman's character? Did she break up this marriage because they were cheating? If so, be very wary. I know some women who get off on breaking up marriages as an ego thing. I personally couldn't be friends with a cheater like that with a history of breaking up people's relationships.
