GTFO to dating forum and put this sh*t there.

How very nice of you, it's just a question ffs

Not 17yrs nooo

No I wouldn't. My ex is a toxic, possessive, jealous c*nt.

No,onwards and upwards.

No. It's not only pointless, but also harmful to think that way. Hence the other topic that you've made.
Until you learn to leave the past be just the past, a sum of memories that you treasure and experiences you've learnt from, you can't be happy with yourself and shouldn't seek new relationships, because they will fail.

This kinda thought often comes with thinking you could've done better with your life. I think most of us could. But ex's are only one of many factors. I know i missed a few financial decisions and friendships in general..

I don't have a massive list of ex's but i can look back and know which were going places and which weren't. That's not to be confused with which were good then, and which had genuine potential to have been good for the last 30yrs!

Yeah, there are a couple. One in particular, and she knew it. Shame i was in a bad place. But since things have worked out the way they have, going back would sacrifice them. It's one thing to wish you could go back decades and try again - it's another thing when it'd mean sacrificing everything good that's happened to both families since.

Good thing then, it's not an option. Just today, and the future. If you had an opportunity and mucked it up, learn not to muck up the next one.

No move on and get someone else that's what they are ex's for she will have forgotten you

Where's dad? I swear I saw him here earlier. I think he went out for groceries again.

im still married to my ex. Haven't seen him in 5 years or so. Split up in 2008. Sometimes I miss some of what we had. Like being able to split the bills, that would be a real treat
