There is a reason they are an "EX"

Always remember....there IS a reason that someone is an "EX." Doesn't matter if it's an ex-husband, ex-wife, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, ex-hair stylist, ex-plumber. Go with your gut. You got rid of that person for a reason or it didn't work out for a reason. Women always second guess themselves....maybe some men do too, but as a woman I know I don't always go with my gut. If there is one thing I've learned from this last fiasco of a marriage, it's that my instinct and gut reaction are what I need to believe in.

People can change. I do believe that is true. I've dated a guy off and on for over 20 years. He was my high school sweetheart. We dated after high school, in our 20's, after my first divorce, and relatively recently. This last time we hung out I noticed many changes in him. He has a child now and is a wonderful Dad. He was more caring and attentive to me and totally made sure he was always available for his daughter. I thought to myself, "WOW! He finally grew up." Of course, I spoke too soon. As much as he had changed he was still essentially the same guy I had dated 10/15 years before........adorable, cocky, loud, annoying, unable to discuss his feelings, and LOVES the ladies. He's not a bad guy. Deep down he is a sweetheart. He just doesn't want to grow up and deal with real feelings.

Ya can't go back. You may not realize it after time has passed but there IS a reason that someone is an "EX." They can change and grow as people but the annoying traits they had when you were together are still there no matter how many years go by. Don't feel bad, don't make excuses. People are who they are. Ya gotta accept it and move on.

That being said.....you can still call them names behind their backs if they hurt your feelings. Hey, a person may experience change and growth but they are still an "EX" for a reason which means they can still suck at life as I like to say! :)
