Today, my husband kindly offered to take me on a brewery tour. Turned out the brewery is owned by his ex-girlfriend and there was no tour after all. Just me standing awkwardly for 25 minutes while he chatted to her about her family and stuff they used to do together. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was gonna take my ex to a concert, but we broke up before it so instead I went with my Tinder date. When I got to the venue, my ticket was already used. My ex was in there. My date never got in. FML
Today, I went on a date for the first time in ages, only to realize that the guy I was seeing chose to take us to a specific restaurant in able to stalk his ex. FML
Today, my date bumped into her ex-husband, who decided to join us for the rest of the dinner. FML
Today, after breaking up with my boyfriend, some of my friends decided to take me to a comedy club for a girls night. My friend's jealous husband decided he had to come along, then decided to invite my other friends' boyfriends. I ended up being the seventh wheel on a night meant to cheer me up. FML
Today, I met my ex from the college, and he invited me to dinner. Back then, he was rude and a bit abusive, but I agreed anyway. The man I saw today is loving, caring and fun, with a good job, and I really liked his wife. On the other hand, I'm between jobs, and my relationship's turned into the utter bore. FML
Today, I took a date to a new restaurant I’d never been to before. Wish I had been because it turns out two of my ex-girlfriends work there as waitresses. Luckily they were amicable break-ups, but it was still hella awkward every time they brought stuff to the table. FML
Today, I tried to have a fun night out. I met a guy and we went back to "his" place, which turned out to actually be his mother's house. He introduced me to her. Two hours later, I knew his life story and had to do the walk of shame without ever getting anywhere near his bedroom. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML
Today, I went on what I thought was a solo outing with my longtime crush. He decided to invite a friend along. I had to pick her up half an hour away from town, he treated her to the movie we were watching while I had to pay for myself, he fingered her in the theatre, and made out with her on the drive home. FML
Today, I got stood up on a date. To add insult to injury, meeting up was her idea. FML

You need to talk to him about that. Real douchebag move

It's one thing to just chat with an ex but to lie about it with you there is just another level of stupid on top of being an asshole.

You're the wife, she's an ex. Show her who's the boss!

If I were you OP, I would be asking all sorts of questions and questioning his motives. It seems rather inappropriate and sketchy for a married man to lie to do that sort of thing just to see his ex. Maybe he is still holding onto something about her?

i wouldn't complain. people have a right to talk to their ex's. you just came along as a chaperone.

Why the hell would you stand there for 25 minutes!! After about 2 you should have butted in and asked what the actual **** was going on, sorry OP but you deserve it for just letting him do that without standing up for yourself.

I don't think you deserve this but I do think you should've shortened the time it happened for. What he did is not okay, but you should've let him know then and there. After five minutes, if he's not including you in the conversation, it's time to break it up or walk out. Personally, I would've walked out and he had better follow or there's going to be holy hell to pay.

wow such a douchbag move now its one thing to be friends and talk to your ex its another when you lie to get her to come with you to talk to her ex in front of her. thats not only a douchbag move it breaks trust in your relationship , it shows what kinda person he is and it could potentially end the relationship for what? all to make his gf jelly I mean seriously if that is why he did it that's stupid because 1 he's already got her and 2 jealousness is an ugly thing and can ruin a person in the inside my advice for you is to leave his ass and find someone else who will respect you with the kindness and honesty that you deserve. A man who disrespects and miss treats a woman like that isnt a man at all in my book..

I have to wonder why you didn't cut him off after maybe five and asked about the "tour" he promised you. but now that it's too late, you might want to ask him what the hell he was doing and why he thought it was okay to trick you into coming along on a visit with his ex.

Explain to him that the next time you say you are going to take the car for a tune up you may just be going to meet up an old boyfriend yourself, and the car may not be the only thing getting a tune up ;-)

Totally disrespectful on his part.
