EMT took a call from his ex girlfriend tonight while we were together snuggled on the couch. It was a lengthy and very friendly call that he ended with calling her "my dear". He calls me that often and it used to make me feel special. Not anymore. I just want to crawl under a rock. I am shocked that he even took the call from her, and made it lengthy, friendly and ended calling her a term of endearment. When did taking calls from ex girlfriends during dates become acceptable? Is it acceptable? Am I oversensitive? It probably wouldnt be so bad if it were his ex wife. But it was his ex girlfriend who left him suddenly to move to FL while he still had feelings for her.

Going to find a rock to crawl under. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

Maybe it's just me, but I think that is totally unacceptable behavior. First, why is he taking a call during a date, especially and ex? You're right, an ex wife is something else, because they might be talking about something like kids. But what was the need for him to talk to this woman at that moment? And if he calls her "dear" and you "dear", to me, it sort of loses its meaning. I would have felt crummy, too.

I talked to EMT about the call. He thought it was totally innocent. We both agreed to turn off cell phones during dates. The 'my dear' now makes me cringe. Just yesterday it made me feel special. Now I dont even want to hear it. I hope he will come up with something unique for me.
