Do You Ever Forget Your Exes? And Do They Ever Forget You?

[Helloemhere]

I wish I never meet my ex. She's such a dangerous woman!!

[Barmaid]

Do you forget your ex? Absolutely, they are ex for a reason. The last ex partner is a ******* and if I never speak to him again it will be too soon. However his behaviour leads me to believe he has not quite forgotten me.

Although someone who was an ex 27 years ago is now a prominent feature in my life.

I saw her for the first time in some 15 years or more and didn't recognise her at first, although I should have because she was at our son's place of work, his business. She recognised me though and came over to say hello. I very, very rarely think of her but have of course not forgotten her - perhaps I will if I develop severe dementia - and I do not ever think badly of her although she made my life a misery for some 20 years. I take the view that I learned a lot from all of that and developed some form of "strength" out of it. In a sense it made me what I am.

The longest relationship I had before I met Mrs B. in '84 was 7 years.
We split up because we sort of grew apart. A number of years back Mrs B and I were on holiday in Cornwall, check into a Hotel quite late in the evening. Following morning Mrs B went downstairs to pay the bill, I brought the cases down 10 minutes later to find her happily chatting to my Ex who was behind the desk, turns out she and her new partner were the owners.
They come and stay with us a couple of times a year and we do the same with them, we no longer pay, we all get along just fine.
So definitely not forgotten.

One ex popped up on the BBC news a couple of years ago, he was being deported i think for drug dealing, so that was memorable. he had lost most of his hair and there was i with fond memories of him..

[mazie]

I've never forgotten any of mine, some good and some bad memories. I have no desire to meet any of them. It's the past, I have too much to do here and now. I don't dislike any of them.

[jambutty]

I don't think you ever forget your exes, no. I have a lot of regret about one of mine as I treated him quite badly - sorry hun. He's ok now though.

[jakep]

Stayed friends with my ex husband. Supported him through his cancer. Think of him with love now he is no longer with us.

[nailit]

I don't think of my ex's that much, only if they come up in conversation. But have to say that I'm quiet happily single now and intend to stay that way. I currently have a female 'friend' who has made it clear that she would like it to be more but I'm just not interested anymore, Ive got more of a life now than I ever had when I was in a relationship.
In a lot of ways I'm envious of Baldrics post (above) but that's not the way my own life panned out.

[Islay]

Depends on how many ex's you have really.
I only have 1 so I remember a lot about him.

[nailit]

Islay, only one?
Are you young?

[Islay]

No 44, why?

[nailit]

Blimey, that's good going if you're 44 and only had only one ex. I tip my hat to you. :-)

[Islay]

Thank you, I met my husband at college at 17 we married at 24 and we are still together and very much in love - he is truly my soul mate.

[EDDIE51]

I have only had 2 'significant relationships' my first girlfriend who I was with 3 & 1/2 years, it only ended when she left to go to teacher training college. I only have happy memories of our time together.
The other is my wife and we have been together for 41 years.

[nailit]

Islay, then I wish you both buckets of happiness for years to come. Its a rarity nowadays to hear of love lasting so long. Its a pleasure to hear.
:-)

[Mamyalynne]

I only have one Ex too, I'm 63 and was with my Husband over 36 years.

I do wonder if my Ex made it through , when he parted he was on a downward spiral in many ways - hope he got sorted out.

[nailit]

EDDIE //I have only had 2 'significant relationships//
Beginning to think there's something wrong with me here....
Ive had several long term relationships and they've all ended in disaster. Think I'm just crap at relationships....
:(

[bhg481]

I haven't got any exes. Met my wife when I was 16 and she was 14, married 5 years later and still together after 51 very happy years.

[Islay]

Its not unusual at all Nailit and I don't think your unlucky I think that sometimes you have to go through some frogs and frogettes before you meet the right one.
I was just in the right place at the right time, we have been through difficult times and could have broken up on a number of occasions but we decided to fight instead.
Thank you for the nice things you have said xx

[Peter Pedant]

yes

they are ex because they lied- something big
usually repeatedly

I remember the last whopping one and why I called it a day

[they dont look too overjoyed to see me either]
