5 Things Not to Say About Your Ex to Your New Girlfriend

July 10th 2009 18:43
When you start a new relationship, there are some things that you just don't want to say, especially if it's in regard to your past relationships. You new girlfriend wants to believe and think that she's the best girlfriend that you've ever had and the best one for you. Now, that doesn't mean say loads of bad things about your ex-girlfriend. It means don't say all sort of great things about your ex.

There are many things that you should not complement your ex girlfriend on to your new girlfriend, and that goes to say for your buddies to. Just because you don't say how how your ex's butt is, doesn't mean that your buddies need to say that either. Your current girlfriend needs to be the only one on your mind.


So, of all the things that you should not say about your ex, it's up to you to determine which are the worst.

My top five list includes:
1. Wild in bed.
2. Super hot
3. Parents loved her.
4. She had lots of money.
5. She was really smart and ambitious.

Now, there are others that you could consider, and if there's ever any doubt as to whether or not you should say about your ex girlfriend, you just shouldn't say it. When in doubt, keep it to yourself.

There are some things that are just best kept to yourself when talking about an ex but I have to disagree on your number 5. I actually like it when someone I'm dating praises his ex by saying she was smart. A) because it tells me he likes intelligent women and B) I think it shows he respected her. I wouldn't find that one the least bit threatening. He would go up in my estimation for that one.

Now if he said she was more intelligent than me, that would be a different story

I agree with Cheryl J on #5 'cos it tells that the mind matters not just looks.

I think though what 'you don't know won't hurt you'...so perhaps zip on the ex is best

I agree with the others that #5 is okay. It shows that you have respect for your ex, but it's not over the top in regards to praise. I wouldn't mind hearing that about any of my husband's ex's, but I wouldn't want to hear how hot any of them were! That would be rude of him.

I think number 5 depends on the situation. Some women that are highly ambitious and whatnot, may be threatened that the previous girlfriend was smart. Or women who know they aren't the smartest, may be self-conscious to know that the last girlfriend was smart.

I mean to find that his ex was a doctor and you're a newspaper editor or call center representative, could be a little intimidating. At least to me it would be.

Ha ha ha, interesting point.

Although in my experience, it is easier to keep a girl friend or boy friend if she know you can do better

Whitney, in this case, we should learn to keep our mouth zip and tell nothing to our new girlfriend!

Peter, that is an interesting way to look at it.

Wilson that is a good idea unless it's bad things about your ex. We always like to hear how we're better, nicer, smarter, prettier, etc. than a previous girlfriend. Ha.
