when you go apply for a job, the first thing the employer sees is you work history, and you won't get hired until they check with previous employer.
how different relationships would've been, had it been a common practice to check with your significant other's Ex, ask about the good and bad about that person, before you make any commitment or even go out with that person.
maybe we'll all be single to the rest of our lives

That is an interesting thought but information received from an Ex would most likely be tainted and based on how they also acted in the relationship. Employers are different, they don't ask about specific events (illegal) they just want to know overall if you showed up and completed tasks.

As for being single for the rest of my life... I hope not but then again if I am, then I am I guess. I think it is important for a person to be able to accept and be okay with being alone before they get into a relationship anyway. You can bring so much more into it if you are secure with yourself.

I will be single for the rest of my life if women talk to my ex's. Hehe.

But, honestly, that would be boring to me. The fun of a relationship is finding unique reasons to be upset with the idiosyncrasies of the individual.

There is nothing wrong with being single! Embrace and learn to be happy alone.

Meeting someone to marry should be the last task in life: education, career, and then relationships.

I like your idea. Most people are not datable because of their social incapacities and emotional pathology. It’s a sad, scary world.

Same here. I can just imagine it. "It'll never work. He has working brain cells and won't fall for any domestication attempts."

I think break ups and divorces can be really bad, but I don't think people try hard enough to be nice about it, and I mean on both ends.

I don't know why cannot people dissolve a relationship/ marriage like we do with any other type of business partnership.

my partner and I still disagree and sometimes argue, but we move on, and if you really think about it the only thing different between the 2 relationships is Sex.

Could not have said it better....

Ditto!
