Relationships Stop saying "that's when I met my ex" when referring to meeting past partners

[Intermission]

It's improper.

You met someone who became your girlfriend/boyfriend. You did not meet someone who was your ex before you were even together!

I read this all the time, especially from women. It's meant as a statement of the present, but conflicts with a statement about the past.

Its main intent is to avoid confusion but it actually creates one where none existed.

I always assume this is coming from low IQ individuals.

Ole Pete has never had a current so he's never had to worry about having an ex

No, and stop asking me about it. It’s been like 8 times. It’s very annoying.

Getting upset with someone for a minor grammatical error must be up there with getting upset with someone who has different food preferences to you.

Where did you meet your wife?

I met my wife when I played rodeo, and she loved it

I met my ex wife when I had played rodeo, and she loved it seeing me having played rodeo in the past.

 

[gatchaman]

I met my wife when I played rodeo, and she loved it

I met my ex wife when I had played rodeo, and she loved it seeing me having played rodeo in the past.

"I met my ex wife when I had played rodeo, and she loved it seeing me having played rodeo in the past."
This sentence is ten times worse than whatever this thread is about.

"hello ex wife, so it is here we meet for the first time."

Im all for relativity and quantum superposition but this is taking it too far.

I met your mother at rodeo

is this proper ji?

 

[Intermission]

Im going to prove how nonsensical this .

if you tell a story about meeting your future ex wife at 5:10 and your at-the -the -time -ex -wife happens to show up to that meeting, do you call them both ex wifes then in your recounting?

Doesn't sound like weed talking.

Pain killers and alcoholic maybe? Its not hard drugs. Maybe some some repentance for the past like you are in the early stages of a bender and reenvisioning your sweet 16. Period and whine maybe?
