My longest term ex (together 7 years) was quite frankly, a complete twat. Quite emotionally abusive, it was actually a relief when we finally split up. After him I met my DH who is the most amazing person and the total opposite of my ex. We've been together for 17 years and have 2 dc and he is literally the love of my life. I am incredibly lucky. So why do I regularly check out my ex on facebook and twitter? I see he is now with some woman much younger than him and they have a dc. The woman seems like a strong, independent, intelligent person and I am totally intrigued as to what she sees in my ex and wonder how he treats her. I have no desire to have anything to do with my ex ever again so why am I even interested in what he's up to now?
