PSA: That guy who talked about his ex for 45 minutes straight

Went on a date last Saturday at this coffee shop on Elm Street and the dude spent almost the whole time telling me about his ex-wife's dog. Like dude I get it, you're divorced, but I didn't need the full backstory on who gets the golden retriever. Has anyone else had someone make you their free therapist on a first date?

Oh gosh, that sounds rough... a whole 45 minutes on the ex's dog is a lot. Maybe he was just nervous and latched onto the one safe topic, but still, that's not a good look for a first date. Really feel for you having to sit through that, hoping you at least got a decent cup of coffee out of it.

Hold up, maybe the guy was just trying to be honest and not hide his baggage. A lot of people go on dates and act like their past is all roses, then you find out later theyre still tangled up in a mess. Getting the dog story out of the way upfront might actually save both of you time in the long run. If you can't handle hearing about a golden retriever for 45 minutes, maybe you weren't ready for a real relationship with a guy who actually has a life and history. Sometimes the free therapist thing is just two people being real with each other instead of playing games.
