Awkward...

Last night I got a phone call from an old college boyfriend. I ignored it bc I was busy at the time, but he left a message: He was in town and wanted to take me out for a drink!

Now, I'm happily married, and he knows it. I haven't seen or spoken to him in about 2 years. WTH?

I often have dreams about some of my ex-bfs, but not this one. He just wasn't that "special," kwim?

Speaking of those dreams, does anyone else dream about ex-bfs when you're preg.? Sometimes I just think I've lost it!

[Ironica]

Yeah, that would have been funny... "Sorry, can't go out for a drink, I'm pregnant. Besides, I might go into labor before I got there..."

Actually, I don't have to be PG to have these dreams. I frequently dream about ex s, other men, men who only exist in my dreams as well, which is really funny for me, because IRL, I have no sexual interest in anyone other than my husband, and I've been told that's pretty normal too. I don't let it bother me, it doesn't bother DH, and I'm sure he has dreams about other women sometimes too. No big deal.
As far as hanging out with exs, that's a comfort level issue. Some of my exs I'd be just fine hanging out with socially, and others not so much. In fact my best friend and I met on a dating site, but it never became a dating sort of situation. We still hang out. A guy I had a major crush on in highschool and I still hang out sometimes, usually just two or three times all in a bunch around the holidays. However neither DH or I would be very comfortable with me hanging out with my last BF before I met him, simply because of how the relationship ended, and the guy is pretty emotionally unstable...

I tried keeping in touch with a couple of ex's after college. I haven't heard from either after they found out I had DD! LOL, that was almost two years ago. They usually checked in once a year before that. Oh well, not even a loss! I guess I just wanted to know they weren't dead, kwim? But I think they're freaked out by my life status, as they're pretty emotionally stunted in the college boy mentality (even though they're both way past college age by now). There's a reason they're exes!

It's funny he wanted to go out for a drink. Testing the waters probably. Guys are weird like that.

You should totally go!! How funny would that be when you walked through the door 9 months pregnant!

I had a dream a few months ago about an ex that I hadn't thought about in years. It was very strange and I had a real urge to find out if he was ok. Not that I am interested in him, just that I felt like something was off. It was weird. I never heard anything, though.

I think that I heard dreams about ex's and other men during pregnancy is normal. I think it has to do with needing to feel desirable still with our changing bodies.
