things you miss about your ex

(A counterpoint to a recent thread about things you don't miss...)

I miss my ex's utter northern sexiness; the accent, the clothes, the specific manc swagger

his height and his broad torso, in particular, the side bit between his ribcage & waist (very specific, I know)

his willingness to introduce me to 'his' music

And finally his thickness. Sigh. I love my OH so much but, boy, I miss my ex's cock. (Apols if TMI for a quiet Thursday afternoon)

Off for a cold shower. Toodle pip!

I miss how my ex WAS when we first met- the geeky boy who was studying medicine and had just moved from Iran, who loved cider and chain smoked cigarettes as he talked about politics and social justice. I miss how he would go down on me (TMI) and how he was so passionate about his job. Erm that's it, perhaps it wasn't enough to build a relationship on...

Oh yes, my ex had an amazing big cock too. Shame he was an even bigger cock himself...

LOL Thickness!! Grin

I posted about a different EX in the other thread....

I had a much nicer ex and I miss so many things about him, lovely smile, the fact he was so considerate. Once just before sex he went off for a wee, came back limping and said he'd tried to wash his willy, under the hot tap, and it came out too hot so he'd burnt himself! SO CONSIDERATE...

I should have stuck with him.... He's taken now :-(

Can honestly say, nothing. They were great at the time and I don't really have any regrets or criticisms, but my dp is just fab :)

I think the only thing I miss about him was the fact that he very rarely was in the house of an evening and so I had full control over what shite reality TV I could watch Grin

dp is lovely and I absolutely adore the fact that he is around every night but I do miss being able to watch whatever I like. I would watch catch up, but he is always here since I work full time and he is a sahd!

I also contributed to the other thread. I miss our friendship, how even now he's the first person I think of when I read or see something interesting or funny. I wonder if I'll ever get past that, we split well over a year ago yet he's still the first thing I think about when I wake in the morning.

It's terrible that I can't think of one thing. Makes me wonder what the hell I was doing.

I was with him for 12 years and I still can't think of a single thing that I miss about him.

That's quite sad really.

I will post about The One That Got Away.

His hot Canadian voice. Especially when in bed.

His extremely fit and toned bod (professional ice hockey player).

His get things done attitude. I turned up a drunk mess at his flat one night, in tears as I had left my work credit card behind the bar but couldn't remember which pub/club Blush. He rang all the places I could remember being and found it.

He and his fit ice hockey playing friends helped me move house. Twice!

We never really broke up. He moved back to Canada and it just fizzled out Sad

Been with DP 22 years so can't really remember exes - i don't miss any of them, none of them had particularly nice cocks though, i quite like DP's small but perfectly formed :)

One was really musical which I loved. nutter though Grin

Another was just so sexy I was almost too in awe of him to hold a conversation. Confused

The last would have made a much better husband than DH Sad but he wasn't very bright I should have got over it

His friendship. We would never have made it as a couple and are both no married to other people, but god I miss having him as a friend.

He used to put the bins out and always knew whether it was blue or green bin day unlike me who HATES putting them out an NEVER knows which day it is.

That's about it actually Smile

I miss my exes height - DP is little over an inch taller than me (5ft 6) and my ex was 6ft 2 - it just felt a bit more, protective?

Most of the things I liked about my ex (who is still a good friend) are things my current DP has too; good sense of humour, in jokes, intelligent, similarities in outlooks. My ex however, was more emotionally driven; current DP is very matter of fact about quite significant things.

Er...apart from that? I sometimes miss one exes propensity to be very spontaneous - random romantic meals, hotel stays, champagne on a school night. We were pretty young though - and he was a nightmare around other people; loud and a riotous drunk.

Although I hate this ex, I do miss the passion I felt for him - I was only 19 and he was the first guy I'd been with who was older and had a house/car - I'm sure the thrill of feeling I had a man to settle down would be rather less appealing at 29 Grin

His body, listening to him play guitar, the sex and the carefree life we had at the time. But mostly the sex.
