I recently started a relationship with someone I knew from high school.

Welcome to the board teetee12278,


Why don't you ask your bf if you should tell her that you once dated her husband? Since he is best friends with your ex, then he should know how she would take such news. This way you won't do something that could affect your relationship with him.

Welcome to the board teetee12278,


In my last major relationship, the guy I was with was very close friends with a woman he had been with sexually.

Your ex and his wife sound like really toxic people. I would recommend that you stay away from them as much as you can. Explain to your boyfriend that you feel uncomfortable being around them and why. There's no reason for you to exacerbate your condition on her account. I would also take the initiative to tell the wife that you and her hubby once dated, even though he professes not to remember. She sounds like a real b**** if you ask me...

There is absolutely no reason at all why you should hang out with your ex and his wife. None. I hope that your current boyfriend understands and respects this. He should. Make it clear to him that you want nothing to do with them. He,
