In the past few weeks for some odd reason I've ran into a few of my ex-girlfriends which I haven't seen in many, many years. I'm not sure for what cosmic reason we bumped into each other after all this time but it was really weird seeing them all over the place.

Assuming for most, when people break up it's usually not on good terms. People cheat, lie or do something really stupid for some reason to make one hate (dislike) the other.

Wassap Wit Dat?

Why they (cheaters & liars) do it, we'll never know but the common reason seems to be that 1) they can/thought they could get away with it or 2) the "love" just isn't there any more.

From all my ex's, I'm proud to say that I'm still friends with every single one of them (no need to disclose numbers here). I believe it's because we've established trust and friendship first but more importantly we've never disrespected each other. It just "didn't work out".

You've seen or experienced it before - fighting all the time, every little thing is beginning to irk you, instead of being happy and smiling you wish you were doing something else. Then the "get out of jail card" comes into play. Would I be happier by myself? I've always wanted to check out that guy/girl (whichever way you swing is cool ;p) Once those thoughts start floating and sticking in your mind, the end is near and you should be honest about it too.

Don't go thinking one night stands is a relationship either. My relationships ranged from a few months to years...and years and it helps to know what you want out of the relationship too. Fun? Someone to just be there? Long term? Serious for...gulp, marriage?

In any case, unless you've done something unforgivable, why can't "ex's" be friends? Haven't you shared your deepest feelings and counted on each other to be there? Or is it the intimacy factor? Been there, done that but now gotta keep the clothes on?

I guess if we're all civil, then psychiatrist, counselors and ice cream manufacturer's would all be out of a job.

SHOUT OUT: Sorry for the late posting but Happy 1st Birthday to Shiloh! And yes, the mother is an "ex", and no, the baby isn't mine.
The party was fun!
