for the past month, i have been getting closer to a man who is going through a divorce. the paperwork has been filed, it's just going through the details. as many can guess, it's a complicated situation.

we began as friends and he confided in me about the problems he was having with his wife and the marriage. i have always been very supportive, even when he's going off about it using very colorful language. i have never said "i don't want to hear it," because ultimately, i do want him to talk about what he's thinking and feeling.

however, i sent him a text saying that i think i saw my abusive ex near my house. his response...T.M.I. i'm not angry, but i am confused by this answer. is he setting a double standard that he can share all the intimate details of his previous relationships and i can't even bring up an ex?
