excerpt from jon cryer's book (actor who plays alan harper)
"Things are going good with Stephanie," I said.
"Hey, listen, we gotta talk. I’ve been talking to my therapist because I don’t know if I should say anything. I’ve been agonizing about this, dude, really. I… I don’t know how to say this, but… Stephanie and I used to date."
"Oh?" I said, my grin suddenly replaced by something pursed and worried. "Well, was it serious, Charlie?"
"No, no, not really."
I could tell he was trying to play this down for my benefit.
I tried to gather my train of thought with this new information. “If I may ask, how did you two break up?”
Charlie said, “Well, I wanted to bring another girl into bed with us, and she was not happy about that.” And then he looked me straight in the eye and with no trace of irony, said, “So heads-up on that.” I went home that night and broke up with Stephanie.
