I guess it depends on which ex. I feel nothing for my ex wife & I'm starting to feel less & less for an old flame the rest of the women who I've had a relationship with I don't even think about.

And, my ex was a horrible human being- he was always lying to someone, cheating someone, stealing from someone and thought he was deserving of it .... He had someone rig his IRS taxes, and got back $10,000 one year. I almost fell over. He had a kid with a woman he never married, the woman had full custody, yet he claimed that kid fully. And, he never saw the kid - ever.
You deserve much better, darlin'.

Relax. I'm here to tell you that the karma train is alive and well. Read my earlier post.

Anger, resentment, hate, etc. are simply wasted emotional energy better spent on more pleasant things.

I could never feel absolutely nothing for someone with whom I've shared an intimate relationship with. This excludes one night stands. However, I don't have any strong feelings for any of them anymore. It doesn't mean that I don't care. It just means that I've moved on. However, there will always be somewhere in my memory/ mind/ heart whatever that will always wish good for some of them. If nothing else, I thank them for the memories that we have shared together. I can't forget all of the (for me) women who have helped to shape me into who I am today. I've learned something from every one of them, wheather the relationship was good or bad.

Hawk J,

I hope you are right about the Karma train, because honestly, he was a horrible, horrible human being. And, I blamed myself for a long time for staying so long .... I removed myself from dating so I could take a good long look at myself, and ask why I liked people like him ....

He had terrible credit, and used my credit card, rang it up to a few thousand, and wouldn't pay it - I had/have excellent credit and paid if off on my own .... He never paid child support, but claimed his kid on his taxes fully .... he would buy personal items, not job related and write them off .... he found a man's Rolex at the gym one day, showed me, and kept it ... he said someone's loss, his gain. I always thought what is wrong with me that I turn my back, and ignore these moralless things he does.

Right idea. Wrong poster. Hawk J and I ain't interchangable.

What was wrong with you? Nothing more than the many of us who made excuses for our spouses over the years, or caused them to make excuses for us.
