Back in high school my GFs parents rented a house on a lake for a week. I take work off so I could be up there with her, and the general plan was that friends and family would filter in and out all week. We get up there and I find out her ex is coming up. She invited him because "they're friends and he knows the whole family!" My gf would invite him to too many things, which was it's own issue, but this dude was also a habitual line stepper. I don't know why this guy wanted to be around his ex and her new bf all the time.
He was up there for multiple nights doing everything with us. My girl was on my case the entire time about me being an ass, but I wasn't budging. It's not like he was even a cool guy to be around, the dude straight up sucked. I wouldn't like him even if he wasn't the ex haha. Unfortunately I drove up with her, so I didn't have any way to leave, so I was stuck up there for the week. He was finally hemming and hawing about going home, and while she was trying to convince him to stay, I was practically shoving him out the door. He did end up leaving, and we had some time to ourselves which was nice.
He eventually faded into obscurity, but so did I haha. Which is fine. Her and I had some great times together but definitely weren't meant for each other. She always liked some level of attention from guys, but always in an' innocent' way. We ended up breaking up and she's happily married to a guy who was 'just a friend' but I was always suspicious about. It's water under the bridge at this point, that feels like a lifetime ago. But your story reminded me of that one summer.
