I think I would have been a weepy mess or something to that effect having anything to do with an ex whom I had such a thing for in the past. But sounds like God showed you quite a bit from this particular interlude and that can always be considered a very good thing. And sounds like the concert was fun! :)) Please don't settle for anyone who will make you feel crappy about yourself--ever! Not cool. But it is cool that you can stay friends, I'm sure. <br /><br />Hope you are having a lovely weekend.<br />:) JeanineJeanine (Wayfaring Girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14732451082104871518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-89781827115998205912011-08-21T00:13:16.784+10:002011-08-21T00:13:16.784+10:00"from the ages of 15-25"
Damn. 10 years..."from the ages of 15-25"<br /><br />Damn. 10 years and you met young. Must have been hard. I remember the guys from the defunct Manosphere blog "Seasons of Tumult and Discord" talk about how for most of history people only knew a few people and usually settled down with their first loves. I think it was a post by Alkibiades. He implied that it was natural for the first love to be the strongest and that the big cities and the serial dating that comes with it is unnatural. <br /><br />I'm just curious, how come have you not met another man in 11 years? Is it because it took that long to recover or just that the other men you met weren't alpha enough?<br /><br />Btw, I came across your blog via Haley's.Svarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04901006264997481518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-18517622549307392402011-08-16T01:14:48.273+10:002011-08-16T01:14:48.273+10:00Concerning my last ex (from 7.5 years ago), I woul...Concerning my last ex (from 7.5 years ago), I wouldn't say that we are "friends"... he's more like the contractor my family calls when they need something repaired around the house... because he's into construction. We don't talk to each other outside of these business transactions, so I guess our relationship has become strictly professional. Honestly, at this point I can easily go the rest of my life without seeing his face ever again. Sounds cruel, I know, but it's true.<br /><br />As far as any other ex-boyfriends before him, no, I don't keep in contact with any of them. And I hope never to accidentally bump into any of them, especially the one that I allowed to rip out my heart over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, we both work in Washington DC so seeing him on the subway is likely. *ugh* Cursed be the day that should ever happen.<br /><br />In spite of my apparent ill feelings about these past relationships, I do pray for these fellas when prompted to by the Holy Spirit... "through gritted teeth", as you would say, but I do :)Ms. Blaséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605491023736134114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-11965294810603582602011-08-11T20:13:57.912+10:002011-08-11T20:13:57.912+10:00Thanks for sharing that Michelle.

Relationships with ex's can be complicated. <br /><br />I'm just genuinely in awe that I can speak to my ex without either bursting into tears or without the insane ego need to make him love me again or something similarly stupid ;)Miss365https://www.blogger.com/profile/03873699006266991554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-25356403381384973262011-08-05T18:37:14.987+10:002011-08-05T18:37:14.987+10:00I haven't seen my ex in years (like about 8), ...I haven't seen my ex in years (like about 8), and it was hard. I was at his wedding, where he told me as they were leaving that he still loved me. And I know what he meant by that (not marriage love, friend love). But we are so totally different now, have completely different interests (I'm Christian, he's not), totally different outlooks - I'm a giver, he's very selfish me-oriented ..... I could go on.<br /><br />On the other hand, my hubby and I are friends with his ex and her husband. So that balances out. We also have Jesus in common there.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134257061262722516noreply@blogger.com
