What's Up, Doc?
by Margo Howard
Dear Margo: For more than a year, I have been dating an emergency room doctor who works with her ex-fiance. She knew he was not right for her and left him over two years ago. He admitted many infidelities throughout his life and even now is dating another person in the practice. I am not the jealous type, but recently she admitted that a few months ago they spent time together at his house around his pool and in his bedroom "watching movies," though I was told she picked up an extra ...

If the BF's family is continually inviting her to all of the family functions that they know he will be at, maybe they are trying to get them back together. If they know he will be attending WITH someone new, they are just trying to make things uncomfortable for the new person. I understand the family still caring about the ex, we have the same situation in our family, we love our ex-daughter-in-law and still stay in close touch with her, but do NOT create situations like those mentioned by this writer. That is just plain inconsiderate on their part. It's the BF's responsibility to make his wishes known to his family and if they don't agree to help in the situation, he should just not attend those functions. Maybe then they will realize they are choosing the ex over the son. He's not asking them to ditch her and have nothing more to do with her, just not to always have her in attendance when he'd like to bring someone else to visit the family.

The ER doc obviously still harbors feelings for the ex doc or she wouldn't even have considered going to his place to watch movies in his bedroom!!! And she is ENGAGED to this other guy??? That guy better wake up and smell the coffee or his future wife, Mrs. ER doc might be making a lot of late night 'emergency' calls to somewhere while he sits at home wondering where she's gone. She apparently has unresolved issues!
On the other hand, if I were HER, I would step back from my engagement if my fiance asked me to take a LIE DETECTOR TEST! Sounds like issues on both sides!
