ratingsguy Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Am I alone here? It seems every day this list gets longer and longer. And a lot of the things on there are silly. For instance... 1) Cruises - my ex told me a story about how she had a one night stand on a cruise. Carnival commercials now get me depressed. 2) 70s music - I can't listen to any song from this decade as she always listened to a 70s music channel. 3) Avalon, New Jersey - she owns a beach house there 4) Phillies baseball - she used to work for the team years ago 5) My favorite bar - it's near her home and she has frequented it as well 6) My barber - also near her house ...and the list continues. Most of the rest of this stuff is even more bizzare than what you see above.
norajane Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Oh, god, yes - I have a list like that, too!!! - Denver, home of two exes - Maseratis, dated a 'rati nut, went on a road rally with his club, and I even wrote an article that was published in their national magazine...all ruined for me now - the entire US Army and DoD, dated former Army Captain, now DoD dude - surgical nurses, lousy ex cheated with one (makes watching Grey's Anatomy a challenge) - scuba diving, lousy ex took surgical nurse on a diving trip
shockandawed Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I understand that too well, what really sucks is there are plenty of things that I liked before I met her that I struggle with. My beloved Cardinals-Lifelong fan, yet she was too, saw many games together over the last 3 seasons, including last one at the old stadium and 1st one at the new one this year. First time ever not anticipating Spring Training. Monty Python-she didnt even really like Holy Grail, but got me Spam A lot tix for my birthday. Carnival Cruises-went on one two weeks before she dumped me. Wine- drank many bottles together and spent many weekends touring wineries. Screw her, I need a glass. Ahhhh screw the bch, whos in for a road trip to Florida for spring training? We will take some wine and sing "Im a lumberjack" the whole way there.
Author ratingsguy Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Wine- drank many bottles together and spent many weekends touring wineries. Screw her, I need a glass. Wine! Yes, I forgot about that. I've had bottle sitting my kitchen that I haven't had the heart to open. Ahhhh screw the bch, whos in for a road trip to Florida for spring training? The headquarters for the company I work for is in Tampa. I need to find a reason to get down there myself... so I can make a side trip to Clearwater.
Santiago 17 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Try being a die hard Colts fan all your life and not really being able to fully enjoy the one season they win the whole thing b/c it reminds you of your ex. Luckily, we didn't have a whole lot of other similar interests, but that one really sucked!!!!!

KittenMoon Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Um.... Life? Or are we being more specific?
IfWishesWereHorses Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 LOL Kitten Moon, Now you hit the nail on the head! OK, other than life, actually my ability to trust, my self esteem, my belief in true love, my faith in the opposite sex.... those are a few of the big things, but Yeah, some bars, anything by Kenny Chesney or Rascal Flats, digital camera's, and also caused me to have complete attacks of rage over any type of make up or lotion that shines. I actually stopped having lunch wit a girlfriend because her face glittered. There aren't the things we did together though, they are things that THEY had in common!
Art_Critic Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 The ex that brought me to LS didn't ruin a thing for me.. She showed me thru her actions that I needed someone better in my life than her.. If she shows up on my mind or pops into my head I just laugh it off anymore and can't believe how stupid I was to have wasted so much time trying to get her back...She wasn't worth my expended energy Today.. My signature tells my story
kitten chick Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 ...actually my ability to trust, my self esteem, my belief in true love, my faith in the opposite sex.... I'm down with this. My ex that brought me here ruined all of those things for me (not my recent ex) but my self esteem came back. I don't think I'm capable of loving and getting attached anymore. If I can, it's certainly not the way it used to be. And all of my ex's over the past few years have totally destroyed my ability to trust anyone, let alone just romantic interests.

Sorry, not letting the bch ruin that one!!!!
polywog Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 *LOBSTER:( My ex dives for Lobsters. I love 'em. Had as many as we could eat during the season. I make the best lobster rolls in the world (recipe upon request) and I hope he misses them.
tinktronik Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 1)Hawaii- I just hated him , he forced me to go on a surprise trip to Hawaii with him on the way to somewhere else , then he wanted to fight the whole time. 2) Sept. 11 - I know bad day right , but my ex sat there and watched the footage then went off and met with another girl and had sex in a hotel with her , so everytime 9/11 is brought up it reminds me of that as well. 3) The birth of my second child . Okay you can't really ruin that one(you can get close though) , he was so drunk that the dr's . asked him to leave ... (continued). 4) My 21st b-day party ---- I gave birth to my second child dead smack in the middle of the party .... so drunk H ,party , baby = H being physically removed from hospital durring birth. 5) 311- it was his fav . band .I can't hear any of their stuff without being reminded of him before we married wich just dissapoints me in myself for marrying him in the first place. 6) Pizza- when your H is f****** the pizza girl . Pizza will forever remind you of him f****** her on your couch after ordring a pizza. 7) Guys who drink beer . I will never again date a beer drinker . Leave the guys who drink hard liquor for me , because beer drinkers are out. 8) Mustangs - another rule , the ex drove a Mustang . I don't even turn a head to a guy who drives a Mustang now. Reading through these ... 311, beer , parties , mustang , pizza , hotel rooms and hawaii...they don't mix with babies and marrige... I should have known better . Isn't youth a sad thing. Now give me a guy with a more practical car, glass of whisky (occasionally) , much better taste in music (stravinsky) , and a passion for something other than women . Im doing mush better now . This thread actually got a smile out of me in the end.
Guest Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 What a fantastic thread idea. Thanks for starting it RG. 1) Country music. 2) Certain TV shows. 3) A specific vehicle that of course now I see everywhere. 4) Valentine's Day. Ouch.
