| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/5/2009 2:55:53 AM | My first husband-Gave me my daughter, taught me that I should watch who I give my heart to because some people just aren't appreciative of love, and sometimes words just aren't enough.
Fiance Greg - Taught me that self-esteem is important and abuse is never ok, and I have to take care of myself and my daughter. I learned to be a stronger woman.
Second husband - My first true love. I never felt such all encompassing love in my life, and while it lasted, I had happiness through and through. And when it was gone, I knew true pain.
My boyfriend now - I know healthy love, with give and take, genuine respect and thoughtfulness. My heart swells when I think of him, and I feel whole again...and it makes me smile.

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/5/2009 5:48:42 AM | | My ex husband: He is a good father. He see's his kids regularly- plus spends extra time with them. He supports them financially, and is there for them emotionally. He believes in taking care of his responsibilities. He was also a very good provider when we were married. He always made sure bills were paid on time and we had a roof over our heads. He worked hard so that the kids could have a mom home with them 24/7. He is also there for me if I need help doing things (i.e. fixing the pasture fence and defrosting pipes that freeze in the winter). | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/5/2009 6:52:07 AM | I do even though he dumped me and could not tell me. I love my X and would take him back in a heart beat. He has had a rough life, lost an arm in a 4 wheeler accicent, got addicted to drugs and currently in a court ordered rehab center. But I stuck with him, and still be with him if he did not decide just Monday the 3rd of Aug, our 9 months aniversary I guess you would call it, around 8.30 am he did not want to talk to me again and he has not. He won't even return my phone calls. Am I foolish propbably, is he a bad man for it no, just broke my heart. So now I am this site looking at forums to kill time because I have know idea what to do with my time now. | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 3:09:55 PM | I could choose to be very bitter about my ex-wife, yet if I did.....what does that say about me? So, just like when I resign from a job to take another, I wont say anything bad about my ex-wife or any of the women I have been fortunate to date since. Best to move on with class. That said, my ex-wife is a good person, and a decent mother to our 2 kids. To my knowledge, she's not on this dating site, nor does it matter if she was.
This I will say to all those who trash their ex's.....live in the present and the future....the ex...is part of the past....and....what goes around always comes back to haunt you in some manner, at some point in time. So, everyone....start acting like the adult you are instead of a bitter 2yr old who cant get their way. | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 4:04:53 PM | There's a blessing: May the Lord bless and keep my ex....as far away from me as possible. Hah, ha.
I was lucky in that he was good to be married to, good to be divorced from and a good father to our children. Just not a good match for me. | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 4:08:59 PM | | Sure! My ex was a nice guy... just not the right guy for me... I didn't like some of the things he did, to him it was "right".. Maybe he'll find someone that is on the same page... hehe | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 4:19:24 PM | I only have bad things to say about 1 ex from 20 something years ago ...and I basically just don't talk about that. I'm 44 so I have a few ex-bfs out there...many of whom I still am in contact with, as friends only of course . I figure (for me, not projecting this...I understand the value of venting ...lol, I really do)...if I can't say anything nice, I really don't need to say anything. I could probaby find negative things to say..I mean , it's not like we aren't all human and have flaws/ make mistakes. But overall, I have only good things to say. My most recent ex (5 years) and I are still friends..he is an awesome guy and will make some lucky lady really happy one of these days. I really hope we are able to maintain a friendship...pretty sure we will. I learned alot from him and I think we were both very good for each other. We are definitely at points in our lives where we need to move on and I am very okay with that (I broke up with him last year). But , I really enjoyed having a great mix of closeness and personal space. I'm not into either clinginess or guys that can't let a woman into their heart/lives. We won't talk about all the awesome apsects ;-) But yeah, I've never gotten people's need to rip apart someone they once loved. I could probably think of some negative qualities that I am not thrilled with...exactly in the same manner that he could come up with some about me =)But what's the point in that?? | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 4:36:23 PM | He was funny at times. He had a great memory for some things, things I would not have expected him to remember. He was thoughtful at times. When the relationship was good, it was pretty good, there are definitely moments I remember fondly. He made excellent pancakes. He did the vast majority of driving on our road trips. He was patient with my dogs even though I found out later he was never very fond of them. I would never want to be in that relationship again, but it taught me a lot about myself I may not have learned otherwise. In the end, that's always a good thing, right?
Additionally, two things come to mind for those still in the throes of a broken/breaking relationship: 1. Time heals all wounds. 2. Time wounds all heels. Of these I am sure. | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 5:55:32 PM | | My ex and I are best of friends after six years of divorce. We share joint custody of our 9 yr old, we still do things together as a "family" and while not many "get" our friendship (including his girl friends), it works for us and our daughter. He's a great guy and a great dad; we just make better friends than husband & wife. So see there, it is possible! | |

| Does anyone have anything good to say about their EX? Posted: 8/7/2009 8:21:52 PM | | As a matter of fact, I do......Although, I have no intention of ever being with the man again, He is a good father and grandfather....always providing me with enough to take care of the two kids while they were teenagers. It was a conscious decision however, not to harbour ill-intentions towards him....I just never wanted either of my kids to have anything but love for both of their parents...and, to be honest, it has paid off...both are well adjusted adults now. The one quote that I hold dearly to in life is: Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Joy.....so I would not let anyone or anything, or any situation steal the potential joy that I can have in this life. | |
