His Exes Are Cramping My Style
Dear Whitney and Liria,
My boyfriend insists on staying friends with his ex-girlfriends and this really bothers me. Should I tell him how I feel?
One in a Harem
Whitney Says:
Dear One,
Of course you should tell him! The only women that your boyfriend should currently see that have seen him naked are you and his mother. You don't need a bunch of other gals hanging around that know all about his packaging. It's just not right. If he is in fact some kind of Sheik and you are truly one in a harem, then you deserve what you get. Try my SAVORY STUFFED FIGS, they're marvelous!
No more veils~
Liria Says:
Dear Harem Girl,
So you think you're in a harem, huh? I think it's time to do some soul searching. Is there anyone in your past that your boyfriend might prefer you didn't know? As I see it, you have a couple of options.
You could give him an ultimatum: you or the exes. And Whitney makes an excellent point. But too often threats just drive his relationships underground. Men are notorious for hedging their bets.
Second, the more reasonable approach goes well with a bottle of Merlot. It's a generous cup of my "Simpler Than Throwing Him Out" MUSHROOM SOUP. Just remember, everybody's had a life. Talk to him about what's making you uncomfortable. Listen to him. Asses his reactions. Do some soul searching Girl, maybe it's time you get a life too!


Hey Harem Girl,
If you really like this guy, you need to find out why these girls are exes and then simply don’t do what they did.

My ex and I are still good friends and it drives his current girlfriend crazy - which is fine by me since she’s such a bitch

You can tell him - just be prepared for his answer - he may be keeping these exs about just in case he wants to go back

It’s all over once you start getting posessive! I learned the hardway… twice– Now I try to remember that I’ve been with a bunch of other guys so as long as my current guy doesn’t tell me about his exes I’m okay.
