- a partner with the figure and personal hygiene of Bluto from Animal House, who goes EVERYWHERE looking like she just got out of bed, and is probably only going to get more overweight while claiming that she'll be back to her high school figure in no time flat
- the possibility of not being able to have biological kids because of her weight issue
- a backstabbing, slanderous, suicidal, mentally ill future MIL who would probably fight me for custody of my kids, and whom my ex had a pseudo-Norman Bates complex towards
- spending my whole life being henpecked for not jumping through all the petty hoops ex and mom expect me to in order to be a "good" and "selfless" bf/husband/father
- any kids we're lucky enough to have getting diabetes at a young age because of her family's views on health
- spending the holidays with her unmotivated, sedentary, obese family and having Popeyes as a holiday dinner
- having a wife who sleeps in until 2 PM almost every day and doesn't understand that I need a solid 8 hours
- having to live my entire life on eggshells because God only knows what I could say or do to trigger either a temper tantrum or a crying episode
-limited instances of home-cooked meal by either myself or him, since eating out was a major preference of his.
-Never having to suffer through uncomfortable family holidays and visits with volatile people who aggressively bully and nitpick one another and get into screaming matches with one another in front of any and all assembled guests.
-Walking on eggshells determining dark moods/weathering temper tantrums involving screaming at the dog, tearing books in two, and putting one's fist through household furnishings/snapping off steering column levers while driving and the like.
I'm not doing the one who I call my ex because it would be too long of a negative list haha so I'll do the one I feel in limbo with
-Feeling that spark/extreme passion
-Teasing or play fighting
-Someone to share extreme love of video games with
-Less of a libido but more torture when I do have one
-Waiting long months to be in contact
-Going back and forth wondering if it's all just an act
-Feeling more apprehensive about sharing important feelings on a regular basis
-A job because I could work at the store he works at but it'd be more awkward now to still try since our relationship is weirdly broken
-Not feeling connected at all musically (which is huge because music is my life)
This list is good. It makes me wonder why I still have lingering feelings for him.
Being told that I'm a little boy and not a man.
Having to wait weeks for her to have enough money for the carfare to get to my place.
Arguing about her spending all day with her male friends.
Arguing about her drinking and smoking habits.
Sex

What about you?
Having a kind, considerate and caring person by my side
A home and the things that come with it
Watching the kids grow into adults
All the fun things we used to do together and the good times we had

What about you?
Some good some bad, eventually I get to the point where I don't have much emotion when thinking about her.
1. Poor communication
2. Being emotionally withdrawn
3. Obscene passive aggressiveness
4. Dealing with his shame over introducing his black girlfriend to his white parents...
5. Walking on egg-shells constantly
The list is continuous...and none of the things on it are good.
There are reasons my ex is my EX...Thank God...I'm glad that bullet was dodged.
All the negative things, of course, the reasons we parted ways.
But I will miss his family. They are lovely people. I'm still in touch with them, birthdays, Mother's Day, etc., but I can't spend time with them the way I used to, of course - everyone has to move on. They became like a surrogate family for me.
