Why are We Feeding My Exwife?

When you are dating your friendsEx-Husband you get to say lots of fun things. Like I am shopping with my boyfriend's ex-wife. But I sometimes forget that the Ex-Wife/Friend also gets to say fun things like I drove my Ex-Husbands new girlfriend to work. For people who don't know the situation they often get a look in their eye like what are you people talking about. It amuses me a lot.

The BF doesn't often make these kind of fun statement. To be honest he tends to pretend that the situation is different. When asked how we meet I think he tells people a friend introduced us. Unlike me who relishes in telling the the story he tends to skip over it.

But occasionally he says something that makes me laugh at our situation.

• The BF: What are you doing?
• Me: Making a dinner for Ex-Wife/friend.
• The BF: Again? Why?
• Me: Because I want to feed her.
• The BF: Serious, Why are we feeding my Ex-Wife every night?
• Me: She drove me to work on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. She didn't ask for gas money and one day she even bought me coffee. So this is how I am repaying her and thanking her.
• The BF: Really?
• Me: Yes, she likes when I feed her. So to her its a great way to give back.

These conversations make me realize how really unique and rare we live our lives.

I also realize how blessed it is...we don't always agree and get along but at least we can laugh at ourselves.
