My brother-in-law trained my sister and his two cats well, with a squirt bottle of water. Every time the cats would jump up where they weren't supposed to, they got squirted. They learned pretty fast.

Sure sounds like things are going very well with current guy either.

As far as the ex, the fact that you are still in this type of communication with him suggest total lack of boundaries. Most guys with any sense who have their lives together will bolt at the first sign of something like this.
I have 3 cats and one dog. But we live on acreage.

We have been friends since we were 8. We grew up together and live in the same town. I find it to be easier to be friendly than not. Especially when I love his kids and family.

I usually keep that stuff. I have a tool collection that would make a mechanic drool...

A guy who is still getting trying to back with you even though you are currently in a relationship with someone. Total and absolute lack of boundaries on both of your parts. No way would a guy with his head together get involved with someone with such lackof boundaries.

If the current guy does have his stuff together (which I kind of doubt), this would be one good reason for him not to get very committed to you and want to keep separate households for good.

Trying does not mean I would be dumb enough to take him back. He is out. At this point I find the attempts hilarious. The guy does not want me. He just wants someone different. It's not going to be me. He an keep waiting for the next victim.

I don't think current bf ever wants a total commitment. We talked about it last week. His kids want to stay at his house. He can't always leave them to come to my house. I said I might sell my house and he didn't like that Idea at all. I don't know why but he wants me to stay right where I am and not move again.

You allow the ex to stay in contact with you. That is bad decision-making. Bad decisions are why you have trouble in your life, not bad luck.

Same with staying with the current guy who can't give you what you want. More bad decision-making. Not more bad luck.

after the last breakup, I've replaced the beer I buy.


We had a thing where we would often buy craft beers and have tasting parties. When I see a new to me one crop up I avoid it - whereas before I get excited about surprising him with a new one to try.


I saw it as our thing and don't want to do it with another.

Most of my exes stay in contact. You miss the point that we all live in the same town. My children go to school with my exes children, cousins, nieces and nephews. I was at a birthday party with my exes cousin yesterday. How does it help anyone to be nasty to one another? That is not who I am. I am cordial to everyone.

I was in my ex husbands parents house Saturday night. Do you think that would be acceptable if my exhusband and I were enemies?

My daughter goes to my boyfriends, ex wife's house often.
