out with the ex

I'm so grateful for the relationship I've been able to create with my ex-boyfriend. It was rough going for a few years after our breakup in 2001, but we're finally in a place that allows us to revisit those bases of friendship that first brought us together. We had dinner with his friends tonight (who I miss) and then went out for beers. Perhaps it's the comfort of being with a man who I love and respect, or the confidence he inspires in me, but I was getting a fair bit of attention tonight.

The ex as wing-man: interesting concept. But I don't think I could do it for him. Not yet, anyway.

yja - experiencing his massive endowment was worth the judgement and jibes from you in the 10 years since it happened... believe me. I am sorry and would never have done it had you been in "freshly-broken-up" status.

teh - you shameless flirt. Just my type!

It's great that you still get along with him.

I'm lucky enough to be able to say the same thing about my ex-girlfriends. Just about.

This was all back in the day when Mlloyd was a nudist.

hummmm I wonder if I should sleep with one of your exes that you are not freshly broken up with.
Wait I think I did...ask Jimmy what his name was. I was drunk and I can't remember.

Keep the X in ex by marking him off the list in permanent marker.

Exes just lead to trouble! That's Trouble with a capital 't'!

i try to have good relation with my ex-boyfriends but sometimes it DOES not work.
madamerouge said…
teh, check your yahoo mail

car@, it really is a thing that has to happen on its own. It can't be forced. We can only try, though, eh?
teh l4m3 said…
Well why don't you check your e-mail...
car@ said…
@ Madame: True dat! it also involves many more things...but it is ok! at least i keep a very good relation with 2 ex boyfriends and i am happy for that.

How do you be friends with your ex? I've always hoped it would work, but never seen it happen. I'm jealous, but I admire that. I figure if you loved someone at one point, they would be a valuable person at least to learn from again.

For me, the process takes years--if it happens at all. I've found it to be a sensitive, almost organic process... it might wither and die, or it might require a period of dormancy. Car@ is right, too: it involves many factors.

Sounds great, Madame, I'm happy for you!
