What did I learn from my Ex?

[GreyhoundDad]

I am a playwright and I am working on two short monologue plays. One from the Husband's point of view and one from the Wife's point of view. I am interested in answers to the question - What did I learned from my Ex?

[dot.hawkes]

He had nothing to teach me.

you learn that life looks like one big party until you leave them and find out the 30 somethings who are single yearn for your former life!!

dont know if its true mind,i am happily married!!

Good luck with your plays.

My Ex was very 'economical with the truth', could tell lies with utter conviction and get angry and petulant if I questioned the actuality.
So I learnt that love does not always conquer all, and the person you love so much doesn't always deserve your trust or even really value it. It is a lesson that one should take account of when entering into any future relationship

That physical beauty doesn't hide and ugly soul.

...that sleeping with my purse in one hand and a carving knife under the pillow was not "normal" behaviour...

...also that having the courage to take the leap of faith and finally leaving him behind was the beginning of my new life...

My best friend learned that one person does not need two lots of plane tickets to attend a conference.

Her husband learned that you don't live with someone else two doors aways and park your car on the drive of your ex-wife when the log book is in her name as a creditor avoidance scam ... she sold it, legally, to this sweet old couple at a huge knock down price! When I got over the shock I lmao.

I learned that the fact that you can't live with someone doesn't mean you can't be mates with them.

[Englishbird]

I learnt how important my friends are,

I learnt how important my dignity is,

and I learnt that broken hearts mend but they also scar.

i was told to 'get over it' when i was in tears after being told of the m.s. And then he ran.......

[kazza55]

That he had some good qualities in him that I did not appreciate enough at the time, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

[rosieo]

I learned to always trust my instincts because they're usually spot on!x

[sair5412]

I learned what I don't want in a man which helped me see what I need.

I learned that you should never pick a partner because they fit in with your other peoples ideal for you.

I learned that looks are certainly not everything. Especially when they can't make conversation.

I learned that following your heart more than your head isn't bad advice.........

Good luck with the play. Let us know how it goes/went? xx
