Well, it IS all of the above, and you can't "take care of your woman in every way possible" with the list of requirements you rattled off. They are mutually exclusive.

Your list makes it sound like you view "your woman" the way someone would view a pet, and not an independent person with a brain and a heart.

That's why you wouldn't get back with an ex who had slept with someone else. You apparently only see women as who they are in relation to who you want them to be. Unless you date only virgins your entire life, you'll never be with someone who hasn't had someone else to compare to. A secure person can handle that thought.

My ex was not a virgin but I wouldn't get back with a person who left me for another and realize damn she misses my company, my sex, my treatment or a person who has cheated. I'm very big on any woman who dares do any of the above, in my religion it is haram. The list by the way is applied both ways, it has nothing to do with being inferior as a pet would be however it's a way to make sure men and women are doing right by their partners and are not going around doing as they please. If you want total freedom then be single or be with someone who shares your values. This is why many american people cheat on others because there is no honor and integrity when it comes to commitment.

I don't like to go backwards, I like to go forward. Trying to get back together with someone after a break up is like going backwards. The same personality traits that caused the relationship to disintegrate are most likely still there. Yes people change, but is it enough to fix the original problem? Probably not.

This reminds me of an ex I dated three years ago and she approached me but we met at school. At the time she was 19 and I was 24 but she saw me at the store yesterday and we caught up with how our lives were since we broke up. Nothing bad happened between us she just moved away because of school.

That's cool and understandable. I would give a girl like that another try if we were both single.

We both aren't in the mood to date. She just got out of a bad relationship and I won't bring my situation to attention anymore.

Doesn't matter whether it ended badly or amicably, I'm not a fan of recycling exes. They're exes for a reason.

Is this only exes from past relationships or does casual count as well?

I've had a fling with one that I was in a relationship with but naturally it wouldn't go any further as lovely40 said they're exes for a reason.

And with women I've known casually in the past yes I've bumped into quite a few and " said hello "

I've very rarely had a bad break up but still wouldn't consider getting back with one that I was serious with.
