If you've read any of my other posts you probably know that I have a bf of almost two years now, well for the first time I saw a pic of his only other gf that he ever had. They dated from the time they were 16 till they were 18. During that two year period they slept together, and she cheated on him numerous times, occasionally with a 12 year old boy. One of my other friends went to school with her and she was shocked when I said that she was my bf's ex.She said she was such a mean and extremly unattractive person that she didn't understand why my decently attractive, sweet, kind, and seemingly intelligent bf would have dated her.well I saw her pic after over a year and a half of wondering (he'd burned all the pics that had contained her and she went to a different school so she wasn't in any year books) Now I wish I had never looked at the picture. I'm now questioning why he even considered dating her, she's hideous. And I'm not saying that people should date according to apperances, but the fact that he stayed with her for a year after she openly and repeatidly cheated on him. What does that say about him and do I want to be dating that kind of guy?I asked him why he dated her and he said he couldn't remember and he didn't know; "I thought everyone was entitled to make a mistake" he said, and yeah, that's true, but I think he should at least be able to muster up some sort of a reason. But I'm still frustrated and unsatisfied. I've dropped the subject becuase I know he doesn't like to talk about her, and I don't blame him, but I'm still confused.I was writing this mainly to vent but also if anyone has any idea for why guys (or girls) stay in relationships like this and do stupid stuff like that that makes no sense, please share your story. Thanks

Stupid people stories, and oh yeah, venting

Maybe it was his first real relationship, and he didn't know any better, or maybe she did have something good about her, even tho she did treat him like shit.Try not to hold his past relationship with her against him hon, you have to give him credit for growing up and realised that he wants better from the people he chooses to go out with.On the up side, at least she wasn't drop dead gorgeous and waited on his hand and foot etc.........that would be hellish to live up to LOL
