Do you ever miss your ex?

The only thing I miss about my ex is the way we could make each other laugh to the point of barely being able to breathe. Of course, we did that way before we had any kind of “romantic” relationship. (We were friends in college.)

Constantly! I don’t know if it’s the weird behavior he showed, the rejection, I wish I knew what emotion it was.

I have missed them, but I am happy they are all part of the past now. They are exes for a reason. I have a best guy friend who has helped me realize that they don’t belong in my life and I shouldn’t let them keep me down. I am not currently taken, but that’s alright. It’s important to be happy, whether you’re in a relationship or not.

Surely. When one has shared a heart bond with another, they become part of the fabric of your life, a mutual investment in each other’s lives. Toast them or roast them as the case may be, but ultimately tip your hat and bid them good journey through this old world.

I sure as hell don;t miss my ex wife at all. I can’t get away from her until my daughter turns 18, and even then I will have to see her.

I do miss some old girlfriends from before I was married. But, I doubt I would ever get back with them unless circumstances change dramatically.

Good Lord, no!

Only one of them. I broke up with her because I felt I wasn’t ready to really commit (she made a serious comment about us being together for the rest of our lives). Our relationship was the closest thing I’ve seen to perfect, but I assumed that we were still in the honeymoon phase at 2 years and I just got really depressed thinking about what would happen if I broke her heart in some way: meeting someone else and being torn in between them, having the love fade away etc.

So even though I really “loved” her then, I made a premature decision and decided to end it due to what could possibly happen in the future.

Yes, when I threw that knife at her, I missed. Lucky for her.

(just kidding)

I don’t miss them, but I do wonder about them from time to time. I think that’s pretty normal.

Nope.

I am madly in love with my current partner. In fact, it is everything with her (physical, emotional and sexual). It has felt right from the very beginning. I most certainly have never had anything quite like this.

My last partner, I loved her, it ended in a shitty way, and I was pretty upset for awhile. Three months after our break-up, my “in love” feelings for her died. We still talked to each other, though, and now have become good friends. I care about her, but, that’s as far as it goes. I don’t miss anything.

My partner before that, I was with her for ten years. I was 23 and she was 34 when we got together. What ended our relationship was that I grew up and we grew apart (it was a rough break-up for her). We keep in touch and have both told each other that “they’ll always be a soft spot in my heart for you”. We’re friends and that’s good enough for me.

There was this one redhead…

No.

@smilingheart1 how beautifully put!

No. I’m friends with a few ex’s, best friends with one and whatever was good has been evolved into platonic friendships that exceed what was trying to be salvaged in our relationships. I feel I’ve lost nothing. Rather, I’ve gained and grown. We are all still an important person in each other’s lives, with different partners and I’m sure they’d agree, we all fit better now.

Of course.

Yup. I’ve been with Mr. Fiance for 10 years now, and I still miss my ex a little from time to time. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a little nostalgia. As long as it doesn’t become an obsession or threaten your current relationship, I wouldn’t see it as cause for concern.

I never miss my ex, but I never loved him.

I don’t miss any of them. All my relationships had run their course and it was time to end them. Do they pop into my head every now and then – yeah. I feel that’s only human. But I don’t dwell on it or what could have been. I’ve learned no good comes of it. I have moved on from all of them and I know one day I will be with the person I am meant to be with.
