    I don't have an ex.

    How is that possible?

    not even an ex-girlfriend?

    ..... although, I do know a guy in his late 40's who has never had a girlfriend.


    He's now retired and happy; go figure.

    Oh I'm a few years older than that guy, but I never had a real relationship apart from the one that led to marriage before, so never had to break up with anyone. Hope you don't think me abnormal but this has been going for 30 years now.

    do the things she said no to. my ex said that if i got my septum pierced she would never date me again. it worked. 17 years later i looked her up on facebook a while back. i didn't stalk her but she went and put her profile on private probably because i didn't reach out to talk to her. so just put her in the past. get over the hurt so it doesn't eat away at you and just move on.

    abnormal? nope; not at all.

    if you're happy, that's all kinds of awesome.

    I dont sleep with randoms but i dont judge others who do.

    No one said it had to be a random. Just find someone you like enough to sleep with and hang out with, then start a thing with him, and bing bang boom, your ex will be a fond memory.

    Take it from this birch right here who's been around the block, fallen desperately in love and gotten her heart broken mercilessly several times to the point where I thought I would die... Life goes on the minute you replace the old flame. And the best part is you can still be friends because you didn't actually wrong him.

    @TitaniaEcks I wouldn't know where to start.

    Sounds like it starts in a trailer park and ends when you have absolutely no self respect left.

    Well now, some double wides can be quite luxurious.

    and... ending with no self respect? I started with no self respect and it went downhill from there.

    I don't think sleeping around and *kitten* everyone in their city right after a breakup is healthy. That's an angry type of response and I think other people will pick up on it which will doom any potential chemistry. And if you don't care to start a relationship, but just want sex, the physical stuff usually doesn't heal the emotional pain. YMMV

    It’s been almost 3 years and I stopped living my life thinking someone else had to be there. I found my hobbies, more time with my kids I got to be selfish and I have been able to do all the things I’ve wanted to. My finances are even better. But all of that was time as well. Meditation, reading, writing a book helped me and great friends.
