Ladies, would this bother you?

One of our local radio stations has a "Lost 80's Lunch Hour" show every week. You can call in and dedicate 80's songs to other people. There's this guy who calls in on a regular basis dedicating songs to a woman he had a summer fling with back in the 80's. He claims to still think about her all the time, and wish things had turned out differently with her. Then, he claims that he is happily married now.

The last 2 songs he dedicated to her were "It's Sad to Belong to Someone Else (when the right one comes along), and Hard Habit to Break. If you listen to the words to these songs, it doesn't sound like he's over her at all.

If that were your husband calling in and dedicating these types of songs to a summer fling he had 15-20 years ago, would it bother you?

 

[Jenn Lynn]

YES. That guy has problems.

 

[Cinderellafifi]

Oh, yeah. I could see having good memories and thoughts of what would life be like if...but I would be really p.o.'d if my DH was doing what that guy is doing.

 

[newmousecateer]

Not after I threw him and his clothes out onto the street.

 

[Betsyt82]

Oh yeah.............this guy is clearly not over this girl from the 80's.

If it were my hubby we would need to talk.

 

[honeywolf7]

It would definitely bother me.

You forgot to add--and kicked his hiney!! lol

 

[jamsmom]

I feel sorry for his wife

 

[dizneenut]

Oh yeah!

 

[Jeafl]

The funny thing is, the DJ asked this guy if his wife would appreciate all these dedications and he said she would have no problem with it.

It would more than bother me it would freak me out. All I would be able to think about is that I married a whacko who is obsessing on a person he doesn't even know anymore. After my initial freak out he would be out of my house.

 

[Kermit]

It would bother me if I were his wife or the woman to whom he was dedicating those songs. That guy needs to stop living in the past.

 

[grinningghost]

You bet. Besides really making me mad, I'd be afraid. That's just not normal.

 

[Saffron]

Oh yeah, it would bother me!

Maybe he and his wife are in an unhappy, loveless relationship, and they can't stand each other, maybe that's why it doesn't bother her. Was this "summer fling" while he was married?!?!?!?!

 

[DonnaS]

Yep, you bet it would. I think some counseling would be in order...

 

[mom2boys]

Kermit beat me to the post. Not only would it bug me if it were my husband, it would definitly creep me out if I were the old girlfriend. Does he think he's annonomous on the radio?

 

[TIdoublegaER]

It would bother me too. It's one thing to reminisce about the past and wonder what if, or where are they now. It is another to obsess and continually dedicate songs to this person especially the type of songs. Hard Habit to Break - yeah, he's over her! (sarcasm)

I'm with the "I'd be creeped out" crowd.

me too!

 

[scarlett873]

i'll admit that it does sound creepy...

but i'm also on the flipside of that one...i "obsessed" over my ex from high school, just not publicly...i just thought about him a lot...and good thing for me, he did the same thing...as we are now happily married after 12 years of "obsessing" over the other...i never did call and dedicate songs to him though! and to my knowledge, he didn't either...but then again, i guess you never know!!

so not every obsession is a bad one

(i'm so totally not defending the creepy radio guy...just stating my personal experience...please don't flame me!!)
