so when do things get better with the ex?

[aseriouslyblondemoment]

it's just a thought really..
I have no feelings whatsoever for my exh and if it wasn't for the dcs would never have seen him again
But as we're both parents of them I just want to hear how all you others MNers get on with yours
I find mine nice one day and an unreasonable arse the next
A bit like walking on eggshells i guess...

well your last one sounded it out pretty loud and clear me thinks!!
please don't send another til he has got back in touch
and yes 'love sick mooning' will now be part of my everday speak too!!
oh pmsl!!!

yes love sick mooning is exquisitely shit.
Agree with asbm don't text again, let him take his time to reply. I texted mine last night to meet up and was in a real state waiting - then I found out I'd run out of credit and the blinking message hadn't gone -it's like being sixteen - and then he didn't reply for half an hour because in shower, was having kittens
I think distance is a disntinct advantage asbm when I went online for lurve I was looking at 50 miles away only he contacted me and he is in next town
he says he loves me but it's like whatever he says is not enough reassurance, after past experiences, must remember not to let them blight the future
I'm in deep here tho

mr hot sex's hot sexy texts lmao.
glad you are feeling feeble ninah! give it time. its hard to get over the past isnt it.

ok. I wont text him again. PROMISE

who thought being a single parent could be so much fun?

oh hideous ninah but funny too sorry!
yeah i often work myself up for nothing silly me
but way hey lucky you having him in the next town
my BF lives over 50 miles away and he found me and if the search thing on the site had been accurate then we wouldnt have met as it miscalculated the distance!!
and ratbunny will be checking up on you and sending you a stern message if you contact him again lol!!
am off to get dcs school stuff done now
or that tosser of an ex who this thread was originally about will take great delight in reminding me what a crappy mum i am

but you better let us know when he texts you
Yes, it's a minefield, but then I suppose it always was
I do find men have this amazing ability to detach, eg while I am stuck here with my lovesick mooning he is getting ready for work tomorrow etc. I am tempted to text too but resisting, I have been enough of a pushover this weekend and made one or two quite clingy remarks that I regret
In the beginning I was the detached one, how easily it all reverses

aah, he texted me! moon emoticon

Ah ninah- love the 'exquisitely shit' comment, it sums it up well.

I've just spent weekend with my new man, started feeling quite needy, which i hate. Managed to stop myself a couple of times from saying silly jealous woman type things, as i think he's still hung up on an exgf.

Very pleased that i didn't actually come out with what i was thinking, especially as i'm pre-menstrual at the mo!

phew! everything has been sorted with my mate / man. in a good way, and in a lets be mates that like each other and coast way. It all got a bit intense. But its ok now.

like the way this thread started off about exs and turned around
to answer the original question, the less you care the easier it gets I suppose, has taken couple of years here!
glad things turned out OK ratbunny
Bobdowne I don't think them I say them and I wish I was more restrained
good luck with school stuff asbm, I should be doing same, we are SO not ready to resume normal service

wow progress since i last looked ratbunny!!
way hey!!
when you meeting up then?
ninah enjoy it but yes i agree that men do seem detached or at least have the greater ability to.thou i often think that of my own BF, tbh when he sees me I know exactly what I mean to him ah!!
i guess alot of it stems from being that bit older and er wiser?
Bobdowne stop it right now!!
he's with you now and she's an ex for a reason
he sounds really nice so please don't let your possible feelings of jealousy ruin things..keep them locked away in your head or better still rant to a girlfriend or us lot on here..we'll soon put you back on the straight and narrow lol!!

and er back to the original thread(sadly as so enjoying all this grown women acting like 'lovesick mooning'teenies!!)yes that arse of an ex dropped off dcs seemed pleasant for a while,wasn't fooled thou,did wanker word thing in my head and hey off he goes with a leaving put down lol!!

I tend to sing "its all about you, its all about you" when he is around, out loud sometimes or in my head while whistling merrily.

"Fannybaws" is my meditive chant while he talks crap to me.

haha!! love it!!
good to know that i'm not the only one
but it is so bloody annoying thou
is it just men exs who give out so much grief
or do women exs do it too?
would be good to get a male viewpoint
