er... because you actually RAN into her and she kicked you in the guts? No?

About a year ago I saw my ex of 8 years previously twice in two months near where I live. That was a bit weird. And last night I saw another ex from 3 years ago. We weren't even serious, and she was mental, but it still freaked me out a bit. My solution is to pretend they're not there as I walk past 🙂

Made me giggle too Zulu! 🙂

We spent 8.5yrs living together so i guess it was effectively a marriage. I didn't speak, just looked away. She looked scared TBH.
Still hurts tho.

18 months-2 years is the average time to "get over" a long-term relationship so don't be too hard on yourself

I've seen my long term ex a few times since I got married.
Each time I was on my bike and he was driving his XK 8 Jag or his big jeep 4x4. Pretending to not see him at traffic lights was great fun, even when he was sitting opposite hand on horn and trying to get my attention.

It just verified that age old saying 'man with small P*n*s needs big (engine) car'.

Oooh - I hope hubby doesn't read this.

Maybe you'll never see her again md.

Its the same with my ex girlfriends when I see them.

Usually its when they realise the restraining order was just a piece of paper.

No restraining order against me!

I did tell her last yr that i never wanted to see her face, hear her voice or hear her name mentioned ever again. I said things that in retrospect - whilst true - were probably not good for me to let out. That's why she was looking scared, although apprehensive is probably closer to the mark.

Grrrrr.

..never mind 18 months, how about 18 years..

My first true love, we were both 19. Yeah, call it 'lust' 'puppy love' but it was so intense. We were both so into each other. All over after one silly falling out.

Didn't end badly but she went off to Uni, I moved to London, we never lost touch so much as I guess thought it would never be the same, just moved on. I often wondered what happened to her, heard snippets, but at same time it was a kind of unspoken question that never got raised with mutual friends

18 years later I walked into a doctors surgery in another totally unrelated city and there she was.

Her smile, that sparkle, just the same. One of those rare occasions when I was pleased the doctor was running late. We chatted, laughed. She was happy, married, two boys. I was happy, married, two girls, almost the same ages. She was just as I remembered her, all the good times came flooding back.

The tannoy called my name. There was an uneasy silence. "Really good to see you" she said. "You too". We both knew exchanging numbers was not a good idea. One last smile and she was gone.

That was 7 years ago. I occasionally wondered when the next time might be.

If you parted on the bad terms that's easy but try parting in good terms that's hard.

Hmm.. that's something you carry around with you that your long term partner/wife/family never get to really know about.. previous girlfrields.. like some kind of locked safe in your brain that only you have the key to.

But yes.. took me what, 3-4-5 years to get over that first big relationship...

Zulu - excellent.

Muddy - Don't worry chap my ex still can't speak to me without getting angry and it was her who totally screwed the whole thing up. So don't take it too personally, I think there is always one in a broken relationship that holds resentment and I found it tends to be the other person – funny that.

No problems with mine - we are perfectly civil to each other. I can hold my head high and look him in the eye, trouble is he tends to look me up and down. 😉

Life's too short to fall out with people.

I finished it with all my ex's (not an achievement by no-stretch) and I still miss my last ex so very badly when I hear Everything About the girl "Miss you".

She might have finished you for other hidden reasons other than what you think. I finished mine as I was at the wrong stage in life and I could see I was crazily in love and it scared me rigid.

Oh well.

Hora - no, i reckon i know pretty exactly why we split up.
Thing is, i let her do it to me twice! She left & i managed to talk her into giving it another go only for her to do EXACTLY the same thing EXACTLY a yr later. She is a coward at relationship stuff & both times managed to engineer a situation where we were with friends & in public.
The last time she did it whilst out for a meal with friends! 👿

Can someone please define a "big" car?!

We have a very small one and quite a big one (for carrying clobber in) - does that mean I have a mid sized schlong?!

Does this mean I am a well-hung homosexual? 😀

Hora
Must be something about that song - still can't listen to it without thinking of her. You just need to remember that beneath the regret - you went your own ways for a reason - good or bad.

Alternatively stalk them on facebook!

P.S i drive a toyota hi lux - and belive i don't have to make up for anything!!

It takes me years to get over someone, unlike the majority of my ex's who seem to happily move on immediately! Don't worry about it dude - what's for you won't go by you, as they say.

I think its down to a mans inner confidence in his physical self as a whole. On the bike I've never had a big bloke have a go at me in his car/take the mick etc. Its always the average-assuming/slight looking blokes etc who seem to have a 'problem'.

I do notice a difference in other drivers attitudes when I drive the Jimny or the Bimmer. Never has a single aggressive "act" against me in the Jimny, the Bimmer seems to get some blokes (usually in a small engined Audi/VW/Alfa and more recently Saab) really riled even when I've done absolutely nothing to upset them. Blowing a kiss usually helps... 😉

I've got a landrover.. does that mean I have a small winky? 🙁

ah, never mind, it keeps me happy! 😉

Wouldn't worry about the ex thing MD.. I split up with my ex of 8 yrs after she'd made me depressed - and I mean properly ill depressed, finally realised she was mental, and finished it.. cue 6 months of nightmare..

but, I'm now happily married with a gorgeous little baby.... still miss the mental ex in a strange way tho 😯

Try living on an island, I regularly see me Ex of 10 years. She was the one that ended it. I moved on, have remarried and am very happy with my life. She's still bitter and single.... I always wave and smile when i see her. She doesn't.

Cynic al - Indicating with [i]what[/i]? BMWs don't come with indicators unless you option them - which less than 5% of BMW drivers do.

"We" don't need such mainstream so called "safety" items - they are for cars like Fords and Vauxhalls 😉 People just move out of our way. 😉

Back to the ladies - met my wife when she was 17 and I was 20. Got married three years later. Still happily married 11 years down the line - a huge luxury that neither of us has to worry about long term relationships with ex partners!

i run into ex's all the time. It seems that my type are sheffield hallam design under/postgrad students and they are a tight knit group. Best thing is to cut off all contact and try something new.... (i've got a date with a girl from Eindhoven Design Academy instead now... :s )
