Ok folks, have you noticed that alot of men are selecting this catagory??? Is it me do you think they should close out that "account" or bring it into a new relationship? I for one don't want it. Been there did that, it was way too much trouble. SO I say... get that divorce paper or finish up that current relationship before you start a new one. Now am I wrong here or what? Sure would like to hear from you all. OKOKOK I can see the "gotta stay connection because of the children to some drgree but....." So let me hear your opinions...

I waited til the children were grown...then I finished up that "relationship"

Well.... it's complicated

Depends on the person, if your into polygamy, then sure, it's ok to have multiple relationships. I'm not, and won't have more then one relationship.

That's usually how "most" men get over a relationship is by moving on to another ::shrug::

But my opinion is.. get OVER it already and THEN move on. (Just my 2 cents)

I'm not getting 200% of your relationship resources?




Later....

This isn't exclusively a male thing. I believe this is the source of the whole 'rebound' syndrome. Not that it's ever happened to me.

Well it is complicated the older we get. There are lot's of reasons someone may not be able to totally end a past relationship. Maybe some relationships aren't really over until they are over. If anyone understands what I mean. But, we still need to go on living our lives.

Maybe the only people that can understand this type of thing is someone in a similar situation.

I dont stick around for men who hang onto ex gfs.......

Im soooooooooo out of there at the get go!!!

All I can say if it is that complicated then deal with it first and move on before you bring another into your life. For that will only make things worse.

some relationships are truely till death do you part

everyone comes with baggage...you need to keep it real and park your expectations outside...

In my own personal experiences..this has usually been the case. Including friends (women).. females "typically" take time to "heal" before even going out on a date... where "some" men.. need the next body to get over the previous relationship. JMO

check your ex at the door - is one of my sayings

Women have ex's also that they remain friends with. The men could not be hanging on to old gf's if the gf's didn't participate. JMHO

My saying.. "Ex's are Ex's for a reason"... I do not communicate with any of my ex's.. what's the point? I'm sure some will come back with "you shared a life together"... my comeback to that would be "that part of your life is over". simple.

I never communicated with my ex's either except when I HAD to for the children's sake. We got divorced..his life was his and mine was mine, I saw no reason to keep them both entangled!

Ditto, I still talk to my ex when we happen to be at the same place at the same time. We don't call each other on a regular basis my kids are grown so unless it is about the kids or his mother which I'm still very close to then we have no reason to talk. What is in the past is well in the past for me.
