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!

He was great at buying presents and arranging surprises and he was a builder so I had a fab home unlike the shed I live in now. Unfortunately he also had an eye for the ladies!

Nothing!!!!!

The only thing I miss about one of my ex's are his mates and his Mum. He had a great group of friends and his Mum was an absolute sweetheart. How she managed to produce such an arsehole of a Son is beyond me!

The sex and the kissing.

Relationship sucked but that part was good and nothing's lived up to it since.

I miss...

Talking to him every day about everything and nothing
His car pulling into the driveway at the end of the day
His presents, the way he always found a million
The way he used to watch me undress every night with a smile
His skin, the way his hand felt in mine
The little texts to say he missed me
The way he rubbed my legs when we were watching TV
The amazing sex
The kisses

forumdonkey I'd also like to know what happened?

dontcallmehon22 · 22/08/2014 11:16

His height. His broad shoulders. His slightly crooked smile. His sense of humour.

Don't miss: his selfishness, his lying

mosaicone · 22/08/2014 11:20

I thought he was my soul mate, best friend etc and when we first split up I did want to contact him when something happy/sad/funny happened, but that's gone. The only thing I can possibly say I miss is his ability to remain calm in a crisis and convince me things will be ok and make them ok.
But he made everything so shit in general, I'm over it!

I left my ex because of his drinking but I miss the uncomplicated day to day life I had. The never arguing about money, never feeling like I was paying for all the shopping... these things seem to dominate my current relationship.

This is really shallow but I miss his income! He is a doctor and life was so much easier when I had his income as well as mine. He paid the DDs school fees, all of our household bills and half of the mortgage. I paid the other half and for all holidays. Now my parents pay the DDs school fees and I pay all of the mortgage and household bills.

I miss the sex.

and his dad, he was a truly lovely man.

WellWhoKnew · 22/08/2014 12:59

Yep, I miss not having to worry about paying the bills But I'm working on that in several ways.

The laughs we had when he was in a good mood.

Having to solve all the problems on my own. I miss him taking on some of the burden. Now he is the burden!

I miss his family.

He can still fuck off.

Loafers, only in a slightly wistful way. We had a very comfortable lifestyle indeed. I always used to say to the kids and myself 'theres plenty of miserable people in big houses' in a slightly glib manner.

Now i actually know this to be true and am much happier doing the camping, smaller house, much reduced income etc etc.

Wouldn't go back even if she won the lottery!
