Man Stands Up For Wife in Front of Her Horrible High School Ex, But Tensions Rise When She Feels Humiliated

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Our former lives and selves can sometimes come back to haunt us. It's not everyday that we go back to our hometowns, and we're suddenly flushed with memories we didn't want to be reminded of. Why is it that we always run into that person we don't want to see in the supermarket? No matter what we do, we have to deal with the past at some point. 

In this Reddit piece, the original poster (OP) is a man whose wife has a history of some trauma. While she was in high school, she dated a particularly horrible man, in a particularly horrible place. Besides the gritty details, she's not escaped that life and lives happily with her husband and two children. They make a trip back to her hometown, and lo and behold, her ex runs into them. Though the wife tries to stay cordial, he finds it difficult to hold in his bad feelings, and ends up saying too much for comfort.
