So, I just recently got engaged about 2 1/2 months ago. I took my daughter... which BTW is my fiancee's daughter but whom I consider my own, to her 1st soccer practice. She is only 6 years old. So, I'm there watching her practice while my fiancee is taking a test at the university. As I'm watching the practice, I happen to look to my left and who do I see? My ex-gf :shocked: Akward moment, I pause for a second than politely say hello. We talk for a few minutes and I ask her if she has a daughter or niece here. She points out her daughter standing next to mine. I smile and tell her thats funny and what are the odds that her daughter would be on the same league, let alone same team as mine. We just smile and laugh about it.

Oh, and to make things more interesting... my ex-gf just got a divorce last month and moved into my neighborhood... she now lives a few blocks from me. I currently don't live with my fiancee since I am in a lease agreement until the end of the year and will be moving in together.

Now, I gotta break the news to my fiancee and tell her... "hey, funny thing happened last night... our daughter is playing on the same team with my ex-gf daughter... crazy huh?"

Shouldn't be a problem if your SO trusts you and YOU trust yourself. But yes, that is akward...

Will you tell her about any other girls' family/relatives that were around the field as well ? Do you feel so guilty about having seen your ex ?

WTF ?

She's not in the picture anymore. Let it go.

I find your persistance at calling her kid "your daughter" to be quite remarkable. I don't know anyone else who does that. It sounds very awkward and forced to me.

I don't really think it is a matter of guilt. I think it's just a weird coincidence. I'd tell my fiancee if something like that happened.

Why is this awkward?

I call my wife's son, "my son", even though I'm not his biological father.

Considering that I didn't grow up in the current neighborhood I'm in the odds of me running into an ex-gf are like a million to one. It really caught me by surprise.

I'm not feeling guilty about anything, I just don't look forward to having this conversation. I personally could care less, but sometimes women don't always react the way you might think or hope they would. I don't make the rules, I just follow them. :)

Yeah, well she is "my daughter" as far as she (the little one) is concerned. I've been there since before she could crawl and now she's running and kicking a soccer ball. Life is beautiful! :)

Stop trying to look for something that isn't there....

WTF? :confused: Where? Unless I have an evil twin posting here and living the exact same life as me in an alternate universe, how the **** is this a repost?

Dude, it's your ex from at least 6 years ago. Unless you were married, I'm surprised she isn't just some other person. Usually people refer to there most recent ex-girlfriend as their ex. Does that mean you were all alone for 6 years?

meh, the girl doesn't mean anything to me. We dated for maybe around 2-3 yrs. Semi-serious but definetly way way in the past. No resurfacing feelings or the such.

you're right, she is just another person. But being who I am, I didn't want to be rude and not acknowledge her, so I was polite and said hi. We then started conversating. I'm just trying to avoid an akward future moment when me and my fiancee are at the games and practices I want my fiancee to know who she is prior to going. No way I'm going to hide or fail to mention this. I want to avoid the "Why didn't you tell me you guys used to date" scenario.

I don't know if this will come up, I'm just trying to avoid it that's all. Taking preventive action is better to me than trying to fix stuff.

You are lovingly and generously caring for and raising a little girl as your own.

That is the ultimate sacrifice for a man to make, imho. The epitome of dedication and commitment.

And if that doesn't show your girl that she should be confident and secure in your relationship, nothing will.

It should not be a big deal. But I am older and stuff like that is no sweat for me.
