Do you tell people (your ex in particular) where you met the person you're dating? Or have you ever told your family/friends/ex where you met the person you were dating?

I'm not concerned- I told my family and friends...they were cool, lots admitted to doing it themselves & a couple have joined sites... A week or so ago, my ex met the fella I'm dating...this past weekend my ex asked me where we'd met, and I told him online (although I know it's none of his business and I was pretty sure I'd get grief over it). Well, I got grief...tons of it. Told me even that I was an irresponsible parent for bringing this guy into our children's lives! I've been talking to this guy for a while now, met him in person a month or so ago and I've met a TON of his friends & family...pretty sure he is who he says he is... I'm kinda frustrated...but I knew that if it came out later on that we'd met online & I told him originally we met at Chapters I'd be screwed...
the best way to go and the only way to go,THE TRUTH if someone cannot handle the truth,than they should not ask the question.
for it is always better to tell the truth,than let the person found out you are a liar.sooner or later the truth will come out.
cause you lie to the person instead of telling the truth you might lose the person you are saying i love you to.
you than might regret not telling the truth to start with,when someone finds out you are lying to them,than they will think what else had you lie to them about.
than they will lose the trust they have in you,than they will start asking if they cannot trust you,why do they have you in their lives.
once they find out they cannot trust you than you will not be in their lives,you will lose the one you say i love you too and you will lose the love of your life.
in the end cause you cannot tell the truth you will lose the one you have been seeking all of your life.
why not tell the truth to start with,if they cannot handle the truth,than maybe you do not need them in your life.
is not part of love being able to trust someone,are you not trusting them with the most precious thing you have,you heart and the love your heart holds.
if someone lies to you how can you trust them with your heart and the love your heart holds,if you do not know by now if you cannot trust the person.in the end you will be the one who gets hurt by having your heart broken.
than you will be wishing that you have knew the truth before they broke your heart,always tell them to tell you the truth,no matter what it is,
yes it is true sometimes the truth does hurt,but it is better to get hurt by the truth,than it is getting hurt and wishing you had known the truth at the start.
do you not want someone who loves you more to tell you the truth,than it is having someone who will only tell you what you want to hear.
than once you find out what they have been doing you will be hurt and wonder why they did it to you,than you will wonder what else have they not been telling you.
when you are dealing with people you are dealing with something that is more precious than anything else in this life,
no one should go around doing or saying something to hurt someone else,no one had that right just because they think they do,cause they don't,no one has the right.
if you have not figure it out life is a 2 way street what you do to someone today,there is a good chance when tomorrow comes someone will do it to you.
it may not be tomorrow but sooner or later it will catch up to you,if you break someone's heart,sooner or later someone will break yours
than you will find out the pain you cause someone eles,when you broke their heart,if you do not want someone to do something to you,than do not do it to someone else.
if you want someone to treat you how you want to be treated,treat someone else the way you want to be treated.
if you want to be respected for the person you are than respect the other person the way they want to be respected.
respect is something you earn and it is not something that is giving nor taken it,but it is something you have to earn.
it is like love it is something you have to earn,it is not something giving nor taken.but you have to earn it,you have to earn it by showing the person they can trust you with their heart and the love their heart holds,
everything in life comes down to 1 thing and only 1 thing the truth,everything else goes hand in hand with truth,if your love is not true,than you will lose love
if your word is not true than you will lose their respect and trust.so the only way and best way to go is the truth from the start to the end

my entire family knows...all my friends know...but its just HIM...ugh I dreaded telling him only because I knew how he would be...and of course...he was himself...just really wondered if anyone else had come up against this kind of attitude?

He's my ex- you're right, his ideas/thoughts aren't important to me...we share two gorgeous children...and I have to see him alot. I was curious what OTHER people had said or done... if it was ever an issue that they were criticized etc for having gone online to date? That's all...
What does your ex want? For you to meet some guy in a bar, does that make the guy any better? Honestly I think no matter who or where you meet someone your ex will be agasint it. I am newly single and I have kids too so I will probably be facing the same decisions as you, but honestly if I meet someone online for sure ill let everyone know that is how we met. I mean is it not our job as parents to set a good example by telling the truth?

There's no way to know what he wants (he's always changing his ideas about things...) and if I found someone at church, he'd probably have something to say about that too! I agree, it's best to just tell it like it is- otherwise it will bite you in the butt when it all comes out...
