| I have such good relationships that end on reasonable or necessary terms, I'm still in contact with the majority of my exes. Some are even good friends to this day. No need for facebook here, the ones I don't speak to don't cross my mind enough to look for them online. |

Interesting.
My first GF as far as I know is a hairdresser in London, Ontario.
The next is a librarian in London, Ontario and living with her BF who said he didn't want to be part of a some stupid joke band, which turned out to be the barenaked ladies. Pete Best anyone?
One is now in Victoria, BC an account executive for some publishing company.
One became a CA, married an Austrian guy, and moved to Vienna, working for Price Waterhouse Coopers. |
Is that your girlfriend in your picture?
Just curious... I was wondering whether or not she knew about that   |
I'm wondering too. Several pictures of her have been posted, and here her mild state of undress and surroundings suggests post coitus. So is she publishing girl, Vienna girl, or bit-the-bullet-to-marry-into-Kangnam girl? |

Women are difficult. I've spent my entire life trying to date "the girl next door", and I kept ending up with girls who I thought were "the girl next door" at the time, but then found out they were actually "the girl at the club making out with three or four guys in one evening". Women are just as big liars as men are.
All this crap about girls wanting serious relationships and guys wanting to party and mess around is hogwash. Girls behave in the same way as guys in my experience, and finding someone from either gender who actually gives a crap about a real relationship is a feat in it's own.
If no one believes in love anymore, does that make it bullshit?
...
Holy crap, I just realized how bitter I am  |

Aww, buck up there big guy!! You've had some recent rough knocks; it'll come together! If you weren't so anti-religion one of those christian girls would be just perfect for you! What about one of those Korean societies people join, like photography clubs or mountain hiking clubs or something- they would probably attract a more stable type of woman. |

I realized the same thing when I wasn't thrilled to discover that my ex isn't in some rehab, wasting away, pining for me. I'm a bitter, bitter, person and kind of feel bad about it - I don't normally wish anyone ill will ... but yeh, those bastards, they'll get what's coming. Gotta believe in karma and know they'll turn into a fruit fly in the next life. |

My first ex is now a lesbian, living with her girlfriend in Vancouver, is studying to become a nurse practitioner, and has a terrible haircut.
Too bad, she was hot once. |

How about forgiving the guy? If he knew better, he would have treated you better. It's easier said than done when you feel shafted, I know. |

| I wouldn't know what mine are up to, much like other well adjusted normal individuals I choose not to stalk them. |

I like a clean break, so I don't know what any of my ex-es are doing. But I still wonder about them from time to time...
Despite any keen bitterness or boredom at the end of those relationships, I wish the ladies well. I hope they're doing fine and I hope they remember our time together fondly. But I hope more than anything that they don't try and contact me, because bygone are bygones and I like a clean break. |
Precisely the same with me.
Well, the same but for one exception. The one and only, the singular and solitary time (<--i'm saying this as a solemn vow) when I pulled a Justin Hale.

Ouch. It was a number of years ago in my case, but I still cringe whenever I remember it. I didn't try to patch things up between us or do anything terribly outlandish. Just made a rambling, agenda-less, blithering-idiot spectacle of myself, that's all. Definitely one for the "Things I'd like to go back and re-do/un-do in my life" List.  |

There should be a breathalizer lock on every phone. Don't beat yourself up you two, it happens. If your ex's are cool they're already over it. Especially if they were "what went wrong" phone calls and not "these are all the things that you did wrong" phone calls.

LOL! I'll pretend you didn't just assume to know all about me, but I suppose that's what I was asking for since I mentioned it. It gave me a laugh though |

My ex is into women and writes Hanson fantasy porn. I'm glad I broke up with her.  |

The guy that I started seeing shortly after I arrived here decided to dump me, but didn't bother to inform me about it. I wrote to him, I called him, he never wrote, he never called back.
It's okay, I've recovered...and I know that he is taking that great level of maturity into his next relationship. |

Wow. That's worse than an MSN breakup. Welcome to the realm of High School relationships.

Thanks, buddy. I have been going to the gym lately, maybe that will help. I'm not really an outgoing person though which makes the whole process difficult.
Having sworn of the internet as a venue for going on dates also makes matters difficult, even though it is probably for the best. |

Ha. I had a GF break up with me over IRC. One left a voice mail and said "I'll call you!" She never did.
Although a few years later I broke up with a GF over Yahoo messenger. |
