My Ex is so wonderful

[Roon]

He came by today to do a bunch of laundry and to pay me back, he cleaned my house! We are both broke, but we barter and help each other stay in food, computers,and animals.

1. My dear Roon!

What a great arrangement!

You two are so lucky to have this amicable arrangement...

May it ever be so!

:hug:

[Roon]

2. Thanks Peggy

I consider myself very lucky to have him.

[Breeze54]

6. Then he IS NOT your EX ! !

Tell the truth now... we're waiting.

You haven't broken up at all, have you?

Tell the TRUTH!!!

[Roon]

29. Let's see

We/re not having sex....is that enough for you?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. how dare you have relationships that are NOT BITTER? how dare you, you bastard

:P

[emilyg]

3. That's the way it should be.

My ex is great, too.

[Breeze54]

5. No; it isn't the way it should be at all! That's just weird!! n/t

[emilyg]

7. Why not? We did our fighting during marriage

then decided to be friends after divorce. It's a good thing especially with children involved.

[Breeze54]

8. Not the way Roon descibes it. - That's unhealthy....

The way Roon describes it isn't a separation, it's a continuation.... :puke:

No WAY would I allow that BACK in my life!

No F**ing way! :evilfrown:

[Roon]

25. I am sorry you had a bad experience

But my ex and I made terrible lovers but good friends. I am sorry you find that offensive,for whatever reason that may be..

[Breeze54]

10. You're LYING to yourself.... get real with yourself, for a change. n/t

[emilyg]

22. Not everyone has a nasty divorce. My ex and I have been friends for

40 years.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. how do you know? why are you so quick to assume you know whats healthy for someone else?

my ex and i were very close friends before we dated. after we broke up i helped her move. went shopping with her.

not everyone has to be bitter about their ex,

[China_cat]

21. No, it's not weird. It's actually quite wonderful.

Sometimes you can love and be friends with a person only when that marriage license, with all its preconceived expectations, doesn't get in the way.

My favorite ex was like that. We were better friends than we ever were spouses. Even my current husband liked him. It was quite a blow to our family when he died of a malignant brain tumor.

31. My brother and ex-SIL get along fine

She's still a part of our family, hell, me and her lived together for a year. She gets along with my brother's wife (we 3 hang out occasionally, sticking my brother with the kids), and everybody gets along with her boyfriend. They got divorced before they grew to hate each other, so bitterness never entered the picture. They had been friends before they were in a relationship, and they are still friends. There was about a year of awkwardness and such, but it was just that, awkward, and it went away. They NEVER want to get back together, they've made that abundantly clear to all involved, but they are friends. Not all divorces/breakups end in hate or tears.

4. My ex is "wonderful" too! He stays the hell away and he doesn't get arrested!

Works for me! ;)

He sounds really, really... creepy.. ewe!

How can you stand him fondling your underwear... again?!?

How the hell can you allow that? OMG! That is fucking CREEPY!!! *chills*

Ewe! Ewe! THAT just CREEPS me out!! Yuck! Doesn't it creep you out?


I'd be :puke:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. yeah you are really not projecting your issues at all.

[littlebit]

9. My ex is great.

The little psycho hasn't tried to find me in almost nine years. It only took me moving across the country to get rid of her. But it was worth it.

[Breeze54]

11. lol....

To funny but not funny...just the way you said it was funny. :P

I have done that over and over and over...

... and I .... Oh hell! .... :hug:

:hi:

[littlebit]

13. Thanks

I can laugh about it now. I just hope she dosen't get a wild hair and try to find me. I am running out of places to move to. :hi:

[Breeze54]

14. I wrote a song in the last few minutes; Want to read it?

;)

[littlebit]

15. Sure

[Breeze54]

16. Hey, I said I'd

had a few... be nice.

I can hear the blues to go with the words.

You can't?

[littlebit]

17. Sorry I wrote that last response before I saw the song

I can see it as a blues song.

[Breeze54]

18. How come you are still able to reply after 4 AM on DU? Are you special on DU?

:shrug:

Why is that?

[littlebit]

20. What do you mean?

What happens after 4.

[badgerpup]

12. On very good speaking terms with all my 'exes'....

Ex-sig others, that is...never went so far as to make it legal.
All except for the last one.

I have nothing to say to him. :shrug:

[Breeze54]

19. Get off that ride! You are NOT happy that it's OVER!! n/t

:P

[badgerpup]

32. I'm happy the hurting part of the healing is over...

After carrying a load for 18 months, I quit being mad and the load dropped off.

I just really don't have anything I want to say to him.
Don't want to go there again.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. thats great. sounds adorable. a funny story, i helped my ex move a couple days before i met lisa

i had a bruise on my arm from it, lisa thought it was a hickey

[Roon]

26. LOL

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. to this day i dont know if lisa believes me. but its true :)

[Critters2]

33. Recently got back in touch with my ex. He's still struggling

and I can see how and why we weren't so good together as a couple. But I've found the anger has dissipated and I care for him at some level. I think it's great that you have such a good relationship with yours!
