Things I do miss about my ex (lighthearted).

[LittleMissGiggles7]

I recently added to a thread on things I don't miss about my ex. My list was verrrry long from the cheating to putting me down constantly.

This got me thinking as today I realised there is something I miss about my ex:-

1. Got rid of the big hairy spiders from the house whilst I scream in a corner (today was full on panic when I realised I had to get rid of one on my own.)

That's all I've got

Anyone else got anything they do miss.

I miss the fact ex was a total clean freak and the house was immaculate and well kept .
Now my bedroom looks like an explosion in a vintage clothes shop, there are sweet wrappers down the side of the sofas and the kettle has limescale in it and the switch has fallen off so its like a crystal maze challenge trying to jam it back in to flick the kettle on in the morning.

Mine was very useful on holidays in hot countries because he was a one man bug magnet. (He also turned out to be a massive louse so maybe the bugs had been trying to tell me something... ) All mosquitos etc would make a bee-line (no pun intended) for him, so I would wake in the morning bite-free whereas any bits of his exposed flesh looked like a relief map of Mars.

He makes really good scrambled eggs.

I am just leaving the spiders to hang menacingly from the ceiling. Actually getting quite used to it.

Trying to think of something he didn't do begrudgingly ... hold on ... well, there's having someone to finish off leftover food.

I'll come back when I think of one...

...I may be some time

He's a great cook, and he did the ironing.

Dustbin. I miss him doing that.
Struggling to come up with anything else though. I was doing it all anyway. Now there's just less of it to do :D

Rich, millionaire, could drive, great in bed.... But far too old for me.

Nothing.

We were together for 20 years and I haven't missed a single thing about him.

That's very sad, I think. What a waste of twenty years. I didn't even like him, really.

He walked the dogs when it was pitch black so I could have a bath and a glass of wine.

He bought me wine

Nothing else

He was really good at fixing my computer. He was also really good at keyloggers and traffic sniffing too, sadly.

Nothing.

I tried to think of something, but I got nothing.

He had a lovely willy. Sorry but there it is. That is literally it though. He was a massive cock himself but credit where credits due...

The sex! If we could have just had sex and I didn't have to live with him or listen to him talk he would have been perfect!!

YY to spiders ...I have to deal with them now & they terrify me.
The only other thing is when DD go to beach we don't have anyone to sit with our belongings so either have to risk it or take turns to go into sea. That is only once every year on holiday so not a big miss. The benefits obviously outweigh this inconvenience!

Well my exH never lifted a finger around the house or garden so I don't miss that. Never did anything for me or complimented me so I don't miss that. Never once got up with the children in the night or came home from work for a sick child….oh I know, he did make pretty good chilli - as long as I bought all the ingredients and lined them up on the counter for him and acted as sous chef whilst he cooked it!

its been nearly three decades but from time to time I think of his genitalia with some affection.

but nothing else about him at all.

My STBXH cooked a mean Sunday lunch, homemade yorkie puds and everything!

Ex did the ironing. I don't normally bother ironing so it's taken me 8 years to miss it but here we are, another Sunday night since getting an office job, another ironing pile

Actually, on balance, I could probably learn to live with the ironing!

Well things I miss about my childrens father are his good wage (I know shouldnt be important), his family, hes very good at diy and im not sure if its a good thing but his brutal honesty not just with me but with others too he didnt care would make me piss myself laughing sometimes at the stuff he would come out with.

I have another ex and spent a long long time missing certain quirks he had - sense of humour, same childish streak, his gorgeous smile, missed having someone who shared the same taste in music and tv etc and how protective he was and a bit hot headed (although now im older im not fussed about that) he was also a part time door supervisor so always felt safe around him.

Anyway having got with my OH I realised he was a carbon copy of this ex which freaked me out a bit tbh, lucky for me he only shares the good qualitys apart from hes not a bouncer although stick him in a black suit in a club and he would easily be mistaken for one

I wish there was a "like" button on mumsnet! LOL LOL LOL a lot at mammadiggingdeep and lunar1

His Shepherd's Pie.

Which says a lot about my feelings for him these days.

He can easily be substituted.

I think similar to above - its all the shared memories I no longer can reminisce or job my memory from that time.

Mine was a superb kisser. Gorgeous long soft kisses. They dried up after the first couple of years though!
