What would you do if your bf's ex came knocking on your door?
She invited me to "come outside so we could talk "



What was she thinking?

6. I don't think that would have settled anything.

I wasn't the cause of their break-up. :shrug:

2. I'd tell her I had a rock hard cock in the kitchen, needing my attention
and then closed the door behind me.

8. If that had been the truth I wouldn't have wasted my time talking with her

through the front window. I wasn't about to answer my door for a stranger.

3. She wasn't thinking...
She was feeling pain and reacting to it in a destructive fashion. I hope she figures it out and leaves you alone. :hug:

5. She hasn't been back.
Of course I didn't go outside to talk with her.
I did calmly ask her to leave because I did explain that she was trespassing on private property before I called 911.
She must not have believed me because she didn't go until I was on the phone with the local precinct.

4. She was re-acting and NOT thinking.
Pain kicked her into survival mode.

10. She waited a week after she threatened the visit.
I don't think panic had anything to do with it.

12. Indeed!
I ask him the very same question the next time we were together.

I suggested that she wanted him by default if her visit was enough for me to kick him to the curb.

:wtf:

9. The only thing comparable I've had happen to me, was....
...back in my single days. There was a girl I was seeing, whom I assumed was single, since she told me she was. About a week after our first, uh, fun time together, I got a knock on my door late at night. A rather large fellow was standing outside my door telling me he was her husband, and demanded I open my door. I didn't.

BTW, hey Joanie!!! :hi: Nice to see you! :pals:

14. I've never had that happen before but there is a first time for everything.
Betty's visit was followed by 2 phone calls. I told her the next call or visit would prompt me to file charges of harassment against her. That seems to have put a stop to the problem.

It's nice to see you too. :hi:

17. I've already said everything I want to say to her.
Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 12:43 AM by Joan_Alpern
I told her that she had no right to ask me anything about how I spend my time.

Betty intentionally drove his car into his apartment building's wall because she wad pissed off about one of their breakups.

She called twice after her visit. I informed her that if she calls or visits one more time I'll file charges against her for harassment.

That seems to have stopped her for now.


:hi: I've been kinda busy ... with moving, finding my trike and dodging angry ex-girlfriends.

21. Is this the wild wild west?
I'm a lover not a fighter. He is good but I don't want to share share him with her.
After she showed up he told me that they have been breaking up and going back together for 6 years. He assures me that this time it's really over.

He knows that it's really over, but does she? Sounds like she's got other ideas.

btw, I've been missing you.

I had a wife (separated) of my boyfriend knock down my apartment door twice. It wasn't pleasant.

I hope she leave you alone.

29. I'm very glad you're together and good for each other.
:hug:

My ex gf's prior boyfriend was emotionally abusive. And apparently several before that. Mutual friends repeatedly told me I was her first supportive and kind boyfriend.

What a fucked up world when she had to date a gay man to have a supportive boyfriend. :shrug:

That's true. She had a crush on me and wanted to date me for years. And she still calls me her frog-prince. :P

It was a good relationship. I hope she finds her straight prince charming though.

Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 10:45 AM by pitohui
this is why we have peepholes and windows

if she refuses to go away, time to phone the police and let them discuss it with her

trying to reason with jealous hysterics is how people get shot

i don't open the door to people i haven't invited and don't know are coming

42. That did happen to a friend of mine years ago.
The ex came to see her before she married.

It turns out the ex was trying to tell her that the guy was abusive. He hit women. My friend's reasoning was that if it was true, why had she never called the cops on him, or mentioned it to anyone before?

My friend called the cops on the woman. When she got a couple of letters from the lady, she turned them over to the police.

He did hit. My friend ended up divorcing him.

It is a shame that there was so much distrust. I wish these women could have found a reasonable way to speak with each other. If he decides to enter a serious relationship again, at least there are two of them to warn the woman. I have no idea where he is.

45. I have no idea how I'd react in a similar situation
I think you handled it well - hopefully, she won't be back again.

I would add, I'm not sure any guys that my wife dated before me can get into the country, as any of her old boyfriends are from overseas and probably would need to get a Visa to come here.

50. First scream, and then get the shotgun and shoot his head off.
He died a couple of years ago. He was a stalker, and abused my wife. If I had known her then, I would have killed the son of a bitch.


If the other I stole her from showed up. I would stomp a wet spot in his ass and walk it dry.
