So here's the deal...
Early into our relationship I came across my fiance's ex-girlfriend's myspace page. I started to visit it frequently, comparing myself to her, reading about her life, sometimes getting totally jealous that she's beautiful, popular, and actually seems really cool.
Over time i've started to visit her blog. I began to realize that she and I actually have a lot in common. I genuinely find her blog interesting, because she posts a lot of music, fashion, and art, and our styles are practically the same. I'm now a daily reader of her blog, and find myself checking for updates when I check out my other favorite blogs. I genuinely feel like I would get along with her if I were to talk to her, but I feel completely weird about the fact that i'm marrying her ex-boyfriend.
The other night I decided to be bold and confessed to my fiance that I read his ex-girlfriends blog, and that we actually have a lot in common. He didn't take it the way I thought he would - he acted completely weirded out and didn't like the idea at all. I asked him if it bothered him, and he said yes.
Is it normal that i'm even reading her blog on a (sometimes) daily basis? I have a lot of blogs I visit, but now I feel like i'm doing something wrong because I go to her page.
Could you be wondering if you have so much in common with an ex..would your relationship eventually fizz out? I think we all have more in common than we know and when it comes to relationships, it depends on the 2 people to work it out and make it great.
The thing is, you've told him the truth and you have technically done nothing "wrong". He probably did over react a little bit from what you are describing, but there is no need to be worried at all... Both of you need to just keep in mind that you love each other, forgive one another, and move along to work on making things better rather than focusing any more on the "issue"...
The thing to think about for yourself here is, which is more important to you? Your fiancee and knowing him even better, OR getting to know his ex girlfriend better? If the answer is your fiancee, then stay true to him and dump the ex-GF blog... It wont hurt you to stop that, and it might even open up an opportunity for you to connect with your fiancee more. -I.e. instead of studying his ex, take that time to study him. Hopefully, he will in turn become even more curious about you too, and that may in due time lead to some very satisfying feelings for you both to know each other better than any one else on the planet. Seek intimacy within your relationship! Your marriage will eventually depend upon it. :)
You're not doing anything wrong or abnormal by checking the blog for updates, but you might take your boyfriend's feelings into consideration about it. Would you want him poking around into the lives of your old friends and partners?
