  • An ex is an ex for a reason, and that reason probably hasnt changed. Be wary!

    And to the OP, before my divorce, I didn't mind "high maintenance" women. They seemed a bit more exotic, perhaps more passionate (theoretically). I felt the relationship would be wild, unpredictable, memorable! No June Cleaver for me!

    Now, of course, I know better. There is no way in hell I'd ever get serious* again with a high maintenance woman. I have enough drama in my life with an interesting job and two kids.

    I want low maintenance. I'm thinking good references, solid, lifetime warranty, money back guarantee.

    --P

    * I don't even want a fling with a high maintenance woman. Just a disaster waiting to happen...

    Us low maintenance women can be passionate too, yo ;)

    So..... what did you do? Did you call her after the gym? What did she really want?

    I called got no answer and I am not calling again. I was trying to be the nice guy but as people pointed out nothing has changed I am still me and I am sure she is still her. I am sure there was no chance of a little brewski and at this point I don't care what she wanted.

    good for you! She probably misses you and wants to see if there is any chance of re-connecting. But usually exes are exes for a reason.

    Winner is...i am a dad




    Jk she wanted closure here is the email i just got

    Hi Bruce,    Sorry I missed your call.  I wanted to talk to clear the air and to have peace. You know I get along with all of my ex's on some level. That's all I want here. I want to fully understand what happened and I would like to hear your thoughts about everything.
    I don't like to fail. !! I know I was intense. I only wanted to make you happy. It came from a pure and happy place. I thought we wanted the same things. I thought we had the same goals for the future. That's why I wanted it to work. I didn't realize til the end that we had very different goals. We are different people and want different things. I understand that now. I'm ok with all of that. It was a hard pill to swallow at the time. The timing for our spilt was not Ideal. It's an emotional time of year for me.
    I know this must seem out of the blue but I wasn't ready to talk about it before. I was upset and needed time to process.
    I hope you understand I just want to have peace. I don't want any bad Karma out in the world. I hope if we ever bump into each other it can be civil and friendly. I hope you are doing well and are happy ! 


    And nuumber blocked email marked as junk or spam...i had closure when i said please come get your stuff

    Drama Queen much? If she wrote "peace and pure" one more time I think I was going to hurl.

    Gotta love the closure e-mail. Seems you avoided a train wreck there - good job!

    She sounds like a complete crazy person. And not the good kind of crazy. The scary kind.

    Text her back and say: "Sure as long as we can screw first". .

    see how that goes over.
