Too much wine? Eh, maybe...

Hello my wine loving darlings! I am here with sage Drama Queen advice: never, under any circumstances, should you ask your boyfriend about an ex-girlfriend after 4 glasses of Pinot Grigio...no matter how delicious my wine is. One would think certain topics might fall under the 'common knowledge' brain category; however, under certain function-altering-substances, some topics might slip into the 'perfectly acceptable to talk about' category. And that is where circumstances can get uncomfortably awkward.

My fabulous friends and I were celebrating our girl's birthday at the 6th Ward (a super fun Lower East Side spot), when a friend of my boyfriend accidentally let slip a story regarding his ex. The thing is, I was not aware of this particular ex who 1) works at his law firm 2) is best friends with his best friend's girfriend and 3) I have had to hang out with before at both work and friendly gatherings. It bothered me that he had failed to mention the relationship when she is in such close proximity to our social circles. I marched up, stated my business and awaited my deserved answers. Wine was drank, a few tears were shed and words were exchanged: "Would you like to explain yourself?" and "Oh c'mon, you cannot be jealous over her...she wears fake eyelashes (even though Halloween was last month) and she gets a spray tan." and "I'm sorry, what exactly was her appeal?" and "Oh... well.. you know..." and "No, I do not know. That is unacceptable, regardless of how bored you were." But it eventually ended with him proclaiming his undying affection for his beautiful, intelligent, fashionably chic and adorable girlfriend. How could I stay mad at that? The conversation did take place after 4 glasses of my delicious Pinot Grigio :-)

The moral of the story ladies: do not ask your boyfriend about his ex after 4 glasses of wine...but also, there is absolutely no reason to be jealous over a girl who has actually muttered the phrase, "Ugh, my spray tan is splotchy." This Drama Queen knows when she has won, even if the splotchy bimbo was not aware of the fight.
