7. All my exes live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
That's why I hang my hat in Tennessee ....

8. Good friends with the last one
Decent guy; we were just incompatible on the basics.

The one before that no, airhead jerk who whined about having a seven yo son to car for. (Never wanted to be a parent and felt trapped).

The ex husband was emotionally abusive so no. I tried the friends thing with him in the beginning, but it wasn't possible to be "friends" with him. He doesn't understand simple relating on an equal level. He only understands power and the exercise of very firm boundaries.

10. Hell, no. I don't wish them any harm, but it would suit me fine if I never saw them again.

Fortunately, I haven't seen them in decades. :-)

12. One of my exes and I tried it for awhile...
..but it didn't work (for me.) I stopped returning her phone calls and emails, and after about a year, I guess she took the hint. Sad, too, because she's a nice girl, and we were friends before we got together, and she wanted to go back to that. I just couldn't handle it.

13. They all became an "ex" for a reason.
Once they became an "ex" they were pretty much out of my life. I can count on one hand the ones that I stayed in contact with. One lives in another state now, the other lives over 60 miles away. Works just fine for me.

Hubby, on the other hand, is still good pals with a few of his prior partners and they are part of our social circle. It was kind of strange when we first started dating because we'd go someplace and he'd introduce me to a friend who turned out to be an ex. They were all telling me what a great guy he is--and it got to the point I wondered why there were so many EX girlfriends! It was kinda like buying a used car!

Turns out they were telling me the truth--he really IS all that. Still married and happy after 15 years.

16. Absolutely not.
One of them I wish no malice towards. I just am not capable of going backwards, especially once there has been an emotional connection.

The other one can die for all I care. She is scum.
