[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An ex-bf/almost fiancé and I stay in touch for professional reasons. It is awkward because he married on the rebound and his wife knows it. For a decade, she acted like my loss her gain, but now she acts like I dodged a bullet.

I stayed in touch with another ex-bf for professional reasons until he married a mail-order bride. She’s very insecure and brought a young child into the marriage. I weighed the professional benefits against the potential drama and decided to cut off all contact outside of coffee when we bump into each other at conferences. [/quote]

There wasn't a reason to stay in touch except you wanted to find out how their marriage was.

If their husbands are meeting you for coffee it's very telling, lol.[/quote]

Absolutely not. We’re double minorities in a field where that’s especially rare and often an obstacle to breaking into professional networks. Most of the contact was just mutually forwarding opportunities that came across our desks. Yes, we stopped and had coffee if we ran into each other at conferences. It would be weirder to act as though Starbucks was the first rest stop on the highway to Hell. [/quote]
