What don't you miss about your ex?

This should be fun! I don't miss:

 

Her selfishness, honestly quite possibly the most selfish person I've ever met.

 

Her alcohol issues; blackouts, verbal abuse and arguments.

 

Throwing tantrums everytime we went out because she couldn't find anything to wear that apparently she didn't look fat in (she was 5ft11 and 9st, with a pretty much perfect figure by anyones standards).

 

Being terrible with money, constantly racking up tons of credit card debt and letting me down.

 

Telling me we spent too much time together and then when I wanted to go and do something with friends telling me I wasn't allowed as it would make her jealous.

 

Doing pretty much b*gger all of the housework. At times I felt like a single parent living with a messy teenage child.

 

Lack of committment at work.

 

Her general "spikiness", always overreacting, taking things people say the wrong way, feeling "wronged" by anyone who happened to even slightly rub her up the wrong way.

 

Hearing the words "I'm so angry right now".

 

This feels good to get out of the system! :laugh:

What don't you miss about your ex?

 

1. drug addict.

2. criminal history.

 

Do I really need to continue?

 

3. why his cell phone had the most annoying ringtone (a school bell) and the volume was ridiculously high is beyond me ...

I don't miss...

 

trying to forget his sordid sexual past

wondering if he's lying

the constant faint ache in my stomach from ongoing worry

the uncertainty of a future together

doubting his integrity...EVERY day

being wistful about how he USED to treat me

catching him in lies and inconsistencies

fearing him going out with friends

not knowing if I was reasonable in my expectations

the feeling I was weak for staying with him

feeling like he could not be trusted

hoping he'd change

his passive-aggressiveness of being in a relationship but also secretly doing exactly whatever he felt like doing

Him nagging me for "breathing too loudly"

 

Ah yes, what a horrible person you must've been, breathing all over the place like that. Jeez how dare you.

 

I won't miss:

 

Her inability to talk about anything that mattered (clothes, gossip, etc. were the main topics)

How angry she would get if I didn't immediately press the gas at a green light (I swear to God this happened)

Her thinking the world owed her something

Her lack of drive or willingness to change at all

Her inability to take a compliment from me, always would disagree. It's hard to keep complimenting someone when they're like that.

Never was adventurous

Scared of people she didn't know

How obsessed she was with punctuality (listed it as one of the reasons she broke up with me)

 

I could go on too. Gosh it's good to crystalize these thoughts. And I'm still hurt by this situation. Weird.

Her complete lack of a sex drive

Her family

Her complete lack of communication

Her general coldness

Her taste in music

Her refusal to sleep with me because I snored

Her deceptiveness

Her failure to face up to her issues

Her immaturity

Some of yours:

 

Her lack of communication and coldness.

Her complete lack of sex drive (in the last months of the relationship)

Her family's lack of interest towards me - they never wanted to meet me

And most of all her deceptiveness.

His hypochondria (and denial that he is a hypochondriac) - "my back hurts" - well, take some aspirin - "it's a skeletal injury, aspiring won't do anything" - well, go to the doctor - "I've been to doctors, they can't help me."

 

His moping around - we are sitting at a restaurant in Paris, yes, Paris FRANCE and he looks miserable - what's wrong - "my blood sugar's crashing" - well, eat something - "it's too late, nothing will help."

 

Oh. My. God.

 

His sucking up to everyone (especially people in his line of work) and treating everyone better than me. His refusal to leave a party at 2am to go home and HAVE SEX WITH ME because he's too busy sucking up.

 

His refusal TO HAVE SEX WITH ME in the afternoon because it will make him too tired to get any work done in the evening.

 

His working working working and then when not working he complains that he has work to do.

 

His inconsiderate attitude and stinginess. I'm a single mom, but he had no trouble making me pay my own way everywhere I go.

 

The way he hacks and spits repeatedly in the shower every morning to "clear his lungs." Seriously gross.

 

The way he would start fights when I was drinking and not tell me why he was mad (making me feel like I was crazy or something). He would say "I already told you why I was mad" and refuse to repeat it. Well tell me again for ciol.

 

The way he would exclude me from parties with people he worked with because I would "not understand" what they were talking about, even though I have a freaking PhD and teach at a university in a similar field.

 

The way he would acted like I was bothering him when I brought my children over to visit him (even though he swore he thought they were great).

 

The way he said we couldn't live together unless we could find a place with a mother-in-law apartment so he could have a "quiet place to work."

 

Um yeah, and did I mention always having to initiate sex.

 

SO glad to be rid of the jerk.

What I don't miss about her:

-her laziness

-her lack of ambition

-her lack of effort to improve her situation

-the ease with which she complained about her situation

-her financial irresponsibility (she works at a debt management firm FFS)

-doesn't understand the concept of basic housework (I did most of it)

-she was overweight

-her half hearted attempts to lose weight

-her emotional outbursts about gaining weight

-her acne ridden back

-her incredibly loud snoring

-her loud voice

-her loud talking while she was sleeping

-her neglect of her appearance

-her low sex drive

-unwilling to be sexually adventurous

-her tendency to get drunk and then start fights

-her lack of resolve to fix problems in our relationship

-she didn't seem to care if we left problems unresolved

-her unwillingness to admit fault in problems

-her reluctance to apologize

-her use of apology to "one-up" me

-she was rather uncouth for a girl

-she was always comparing other people's relationships to our own

-her belief that just because her idiot friends rushed into things means that we have to do the same

-she got way too cranky if she didn't get at least 8 hours of sleep every night

(good luck with the real world)

-her and her sisters depended way too much on daddy

-her confrontational attitude when it came to long term commitment

-her lack of understanding that confrontation and pressuring are a great approach to damaging her boyfriend's interest in a future with her

Hahahahaha!

 

We have all dated some real WINNERS based on the remarks in here!

 

I would advise you to come back and look at what you wrote 6 months or so down the road... You will be wondering... "What in the heck did I ever see in X?!?!?", "Why did I get all hung up on X!?!?!?!?", "My God, my new GF / BF blows my last EX out of the water... no contest!!!!!"

1) World of Warcraft and your guildies and your raids meant more to you than I did.

2) You talked about your exes too often in the beginning...and I really didn't need to see their pictures or know how pretty they are. SUPER insecure because of it.

 

Yeah. That's about it.

He had the dating skills of a 14 year old.

He'd play hit, not open the door for me, walk ahead of me into places, feel embarrassed showing any affection whatsoever.

The cheating.

 

The way he would wander off ahead of me when we went places.

 

The rejection and lack of sex. And how that left me feeling.

 

His negativity and glass half empty attitude to life.

 

Supporting him financially and emotionally for zero thanks or appreciation.

 

His stinking, smelly feet.

 

His selfishness - he only ever thought about what was good for him.

 

Him subtly 'putting me down' at every turn. Even just about stupid stuff.

 

Walking on eggshells around him if he's had a bad day.

 

The amount of time he spent going out drinking and having fun while I worked.

 

The way he used to snap at me - especially when he did it in front of people.

 

His emotional unavailability - or maybe it was more emotional dishonesty, I gave him ample opportunities to get out of our relationship. He stayed because it was 'convenient' and wasted my time.

23. Never wanting do discuss our marital problems. Just stuck his head in the sand and pretended nothing was ever wrong.

 

24. Sleeping on the couch for months and months on end after a minor fight.

25. Never apologizing when he was wrong.

16. Very secretive and shady. I felt like he is the type of man that would lead a double life.
