Posted: 8/7/2009 9:28:37 PM | i'd say i have a little of both good and bad to say about my ex's...
It's a mixed bag.
At the end of the day i think people just vent on the forums and keep the good stuff to themselves. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 6:58:29 PM | Oh!! My EX! How can I forget.
He's very laid back and he has a free spirit. He doesn't look for fault in people.. He doesn't judge. He'll let you be you. He's not racist. He loves animals AND he's very respectful.
Yep! My one and only......EX! | |

The most common thing written about problem relationships on PoF is "The sex was great, but....."
The sex sucked-- lol BUT he was a good dad while we were living together. He is and always has been a good provier. He was a good sperm donor.
He just never made me have the big "O". Now I can't believe I went all those years without it lol | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 8:37:50 PM | Every one of my ex's had very attractive qualities that I fell in love with, and those things still are present and the disagreements and endings of our relationship doesn't change that.
I admire them all for different things and I hope to remain friends for a life time. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 9:01:01 PM | | Nicest thing I can think of, ok, only thing, I miss the person I fell in love with. It always amazes me how you can look at someone and they look exactly the same but they are not the same person. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 9:11:07 PM | Yes, he had a good work ethic and never asked someone to do something he was not willing to do himself.
He worked his way up to foreman and still got out and worked with the others hands on. He didn't believe in being a paper pusher. He would pick up a broom to sweep up a mess because it needed to be done.
He worked out because he was older than most of his workers and he knew to be respected he had to be able to lift his load.
He was good to our daughter.
He always thanked me for the food I cooked, even if it wasn't the best and I knew it, he found something either laughable or good about it.
A year after I left him, he met another woman and called to tell me he was finally happy. He wanted to tell me he was sorry for the way he treated me during the marriage and had he listened to me when I told him the things I needed then our lives together would have been different. He told me that the things I "taught him" he was actively doing in his new relationship and he didn't realize how much making "her" happy actually made "him" happy. He said when she does something out of the way, he acknowledges it with a smile and can't wait to return the favor. He said he wished he could have loved me enough to "see me" in the marriage but he never really knew I was there until I was gone....again he apologized.
I think it takes a man with a conscience to admit he could have done things different but chose not to.
Just to let you guys know....there was not one anniversary in 20 years that he remembered. I even threw a few parties (including private) here and there and he wasn't sure why were having one until he was told...it was our anniversary. He never remembered my birthday and Christmas was for our daughter only. His birthday was on Valentine's day so, it was his day, not to be celebrated for the recognized day it is.
Two or three days a week I would insert a note of some kind somewhere into his lunch box telling him something positive...and when he worked out of town, I would prepare something really special for his return....REALLY SPECIAL
So he now appreciates the little things she does and lets her know. So, he learned. At least he is growing right? | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 10:28:03 PM | My ex was the one who dumped me a couple of weeks ago and, frankly, she didn't have a bad thing to say about me at all. In fact, in her break up letter (yeah, broke up by e-mail...) she told me that I was everything she thought she wanted in a guy.
She just wasn't in love with me. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 11:00:16 PM | I'm near crazy. My two ex's are crazier than I am.
Doesn"t mean they weren't beautiful, wonderful people (they were, in their own right),
just mean's they were crazy. Crazier than I am, like I said. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 12:41:29 PM | The last post to this thread was one day short of a month ago. A lot can happen in a month. What I did not expect to happen...happened. My ex came to this thread and posted good things to say about me. Now a month or more since that post, ( she will remain anonymous) I am happy to say we are talking again. No promise of a total reconciliation, but at least we are sharing how we do care for each other. The main obstacle of distance ( 1200 miles) may be a blessing in disguise right now. Gives us both time to kind of get to know each other after 6 months of no contact. Misunderstandings, assumptions and othewr issues are fading away and letting us to know each other even better then before.
People, there is hope for those that can swallow pride, forgive and whatever else caused a break doown in communication to begin with. Let all the good of someone outshine the issues that might have caused you to part in the beginning. As long as there is trust not broken, there is hope. Thanks to all that added positive things to this post.  | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 1:58:29 PM | | I try to keep some positives in my mind of my ex for the sake of the kids. He is a fantastic cook and an excellent mechanic. I would recommend him to fix anyone's vehicle or to cook a great meal. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 2:16:51 PM | | I usually have good things to say about anyone I dated. Usually when I mention any, if I do, its in a positive manner for the most part. I think speaking positively about an ex makes other people nervous so I just try not to say anything about anyone Ive ever dated, good or bad. With the people I've dated, none of them were bad people. Maybe they had a quality I didn't care for, but it doesnt make them bad overall. It's just that for one reason or another we didn't get along as well as I would like in a relationship. But I try not to bad mouth anyone, ex or not. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 2:47:38 PM | If I had read this question about 2 years ago, I would have had to keep my mouth shut. There would not have been one good thing I had to say about my ex. I am the one that wanted the divorce but, divorce has a way of making a lot of people pretty nasty. That however, is all water under the bridge.
We are now friends. There is nothing left to argue over and we both have forgiven the past. We were never as good of friends while we were together, as we are now. Funny how things work out. | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 3:42:56 PM | Yes sure.. My ex was/is really talented. Very good looking and funny. Shame he was selfish and self-centered. But that's another story, right?
Another ex was very caring, really really caring... Wags his tails too much. Cheats too much. Had to end it.
Another ex was great in bed... Vicious temper made me put an end to it.
My last ex was a sweetheart, however he was in love with his job. Too much work and I was left with what's left of his time if any. Put an end to it because I wasn't willing to be a booty call while he was having an affair with his work. | |
