My fiancé and I bought a house together in early November. We love the house. Love the neighborhood. Love the location.
We haven't been able to move in yet because we are remodeling a few things.
Today while we were there, I opened the wifi on my phone and the first one to pop up (meaning the closest signal) was called "ex's wife's name & ex's name" and my jaw hit the floor. Like, what are the odds that there's another couple with those names and those exact spellings? Pretty slim.
I asked Google where my ex lives and, sure enough, it was an address on the street right behind ours. I looked at the satellite view and, sure enough, it's the house directly behind ours. We share a rock wall. The houses are tiered so we can see into his backyard which I hope means he doesn't have a great view of our house. I'd like to avoid my ex finding this out for as long as possible.
We didn't end on great terms but we're adults. We've both moved on. We're friendly when we run into each other. I harbor no ill will and wish him the best but we definitely don't need to be in each other's lives.
It's not the end of the world, but what are the fuckin odds?!
