Women of Uncertain Age: two single, divorced women laughing their way through dating and relationships

Summary: Karen and Philippa are two forty-somethings who, after 20 years of friendship, still aren't sick of talking to each other. Our years of life experience may not have made us experts at anything, but they've given us plenty of material, especially when it comes to relationships—the most important things we humans can have. (Wine is a close second.) So listen in as we talk about friendship, dating, marriage, divorce, and all sorts of other relationship stuff that’s universal, yet darned near impossible to figure out.

 #58a Dating a friend's ex - what if the ex keeps her BF a secret? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:05:28

We're talking and you're eavesdropping! In response to a recent episode in which we discussed whether you can date a friend's ex, a listener asked the following question and here's our answer: "What if the ex girlfriend kept the boyfriend a secret from all her friends? I know someone who dated a girl for a long time and was in a formal girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, they practically lived together and she met all his friends however the girl kept the guy a secret to her friends. It's a crappy way to treat anyone. After the breakup the guy found out that the girlfriend never told anyone that she had a boyfriend and it was really sad. With social platforms like facebook where you can see if the ex is friends with people you may meet or in a small community like dc where you are going to meet everyone at least once if you are active, are the ex girlfriends friend's off limits when they never knew of a relationship in the first place?"
