29-year-old's hometown friends help him hide that wife's new work bestie is actually his ex-girlfriend, mother-in-law spills the beans: "I didn't want you to feel like a rebound"

Do you talk about your exes with your current partner? Exes can be a really touchy topic for some couples. There are people that hate when their past is brought up or feel jealous when their partner mentions their previous relationships. There are also plenty of people that cannot seem to stop talking about their exes. Be it in a negative or positive light, it seems like they just can't let it go. My parnter and I have always had an open dialogue about our pasts. We've even shown each other a timeline of pictures with all of our exes, explaining our relatonship journeys to each other in great detail.

In our story today, a man lies to his wife about his past. When she asks him if he's ever had another serious relationship, he denies it despite meeting her at the tail end of a nasty breakup. As fate would have it, she eventually befriends this ex-girlfriend of his, and the two of them, as well as all of their friends, do their best to keep this information from our protagonist until her MIL spills the beans.

The fact that he got his entire friend group to lie to her face about this woman is proof that MIL is the only homie she has in this small town.

Our poor protagonist is writing this from the guest bedroom of her own home while her husband relives a past relationship, knowingly leaving her in tears in favor of this old flame. It's time to get out.
