I dated only casually when I was younger. Nobody worth mentioning. The first person I was ever serious about turned out to be the person I married. Knew it from the moment I met him. Perfect for me and still is.

This question was about ex partners, not your current one.
I had many partners, mine was the multicolored (showing fewer women than men) post. The first block was age 14-18, then The Ex (the only former partner I refer to as an "ex") was my husband for 18 years, then the second block is after we parted.
One thing I have realized from having kept the data on my formers, which I do because I keep data on practically everything, I'm a meticulous keeper of lists and spreadsheets and such on everything...is that when I am free and single, and not in a committed relationship, I can average probably 10 partners per year. It's a good thing, I guess, that I haven't been in that state of being for very many years of my life.
I remember most of them in "meh who cares" neither positive nor negative terms, a good, significant number in positive ways, and very few truly negatively. I have wonderful memories of good times with many of them, and remain friends with a number of them still.
So what someone said, and has been repeated here, that people are "exes for a reason"...it isn't always true in my life, at least not in terms of feeling negatively toward them. Many of my relationships didn't end because of some blowup of horribleness. They just ran their course, or it wasn't a good working connection for a long term relationship. I don't cling to non-working connections without a very, very good reason (only the one!) and I don't hate anyone just because they didn't want to be my partner for life. That's just not always in the cards, so what?
Same here. Although for me it is a little different still. Most of the women I have been with I kinda knew from the start that those were not the "real deal". But I dont settle no more, so I have been a lone wolf for almost two years now.
