When you first start dating someone who has the potential to be the Mr. Right, it's only natural to want to show them off. Cuddling up against their arm, batting your eyelashes at others yet playing coy when they ask for the romantic details. It's all part of the fun and sometimes anxiety-inducing journey that is love. I feel like unless stated otherwise, public displays of affection (that are PG, of course), are harmless and an endearing way to express your newfound infatuation with one another. What do you do when one party doesn't want to display their affection for you in the presence of one of their old lovers?
The woman in this story has recently started seeing a man but has not yet spoken about exclusivity. Things are seemingly smooth sailing until he invites her to a market where his business is manning a booth. He expresses that another girl he was seeing prior to OP is at the event and that he'd like to act friendly rather than romantically with her. The woman wonders if this is only because he wants to appear available to his old lover, and this influences her to stay home altogether. The man tries to convince her that he simply doesn't want to hurt his ex's feelings, to which OP questions if he would rather hurt her own feelings instead. I'd be out of there immediately. What do you think, ladies?
