great post! i’m tempted to send it to an ex-boyfriend of mine. he has ended our relationship (more than once, and i’m not blaming it all on him since I DID take him back!) and likes to re-appear all the time. it is always under the guise of ‘being a good friend’, but what i’ve tried to make him understand is that the best thing he could do for me is give me space and let me move on.

Good points and wish most people would think that way. Some Ex’s (boyfriend/girlfriend) don’t know how to let go and move on. They still think if they make contact with the person as if they are still together then they have a good shot at getting back in. In their minds they are making their presence known so their ex (your current) can know they still have a shot.

Problem with that is, you’re an Ex for a reason…Kuddos to you for not wanting to be ‘That Ex’ who doesn’t know how to let go.

I adore this post.

I don’t believe in “The One,” but “The Few,” and they are far between and it is often a long journey to find them. I firmly believe that there are lessons to be learned from every “failed” relationship that will prep you for the one(s) right for you.

Great post. It took me a while to learn what you’ve written abt here. Not the calling and shit – but the moving on and knowing that each ended relationship is just another mile in reaching the destination.

Another great sign of maturity. As with any “failure,” what we do afterwards is the true test. Now, with that, if you truly believe someone is your soulmate, there’s nothing wrong with letting them know you feel that way (maybe in a letter or a phone call at a decent hour). After you make your feelings known, though, and the ex doesn’t reciprocate…then, you really need to move on!

You sounded really hung up on the two week thing so I (and boomshot apparently) thought you were involved w/ him for 2 weeks. Don’t take it so seriously:) I think it was all in jest. What I was serious about is why you visit a blog that you don’t seem to like, but judging from your responde to me, I see why:)

I have no reason to argue on a blog. People have their various takes and opinions. The author posts and I sometimes reply to the entries. Please realize that liking this blog does not equate to me having to comment in any particular way, positive or negative.

Also, your response is rather juvenile. Why would I call the author? Better yet, why would you ASSume that I was even involved with him? My comments are simply my opinions, nothing more and nothing less.
