Things you don't miss about an Ex

[Wheelycote]

Recently become single and have been bereft. I read something on another thread and it reminded me of a behaviour ex had. Sulking.
It's strange how, things like that become the norm.

The rose tinted glasses are starting to fall. It won't happen overnight, we were together for 8 years.

Pls share something about an ex, that you don't miss.

My ex used to expect me to drop everything and pay him with my undivided attention as soon as he walked in from work and sulked if I didn't. He used this actual line once:

You should almost be waiting with bated breath when I come in!

It was shocking at the time but now it's hilarious at the thought of his delusional state of mind!

Nothing can top the singing scampi.
Mine would ALWAYS order steak and chips, but only after a loooooong read of the menu.

He always farted after he'd come. P still in v.

Whatever the hell that thing was he did with his weetabix( had to leave the room).

Accusing me of being unfaithful constantly.

Fucking my then best friend.

Taking my money.

Going out "for a pint" and never recognising that this point lasted till 3am and left me with a barbill to pay and him with such a hangover he couldn't work. Then wanting a takeaway so his pint cost us £300.

Wanting me to watch a porn video labelled " french film with dwarf".

A gem.

Oh, and threatening to hit me.

Snoring
Lack of sex, mainly due to the snoring (separate rooms for over a year)
Refusal to deal with deep-seated emotional issues (also a factor in the lack of sex) that meant he was emotionally very cold
Laziness around the house and in general
His excessive drinking/inability to drink sensibly
Lack of support when I lost my mum
The mess he used to make of the house (which I inevitably cleared up)
His inability to peg washing out (ending on a slightly light-hearted note there!)

We split up nearly 6 months ago and I was just starting to miss him. Looking at the list above has reminded me why we split up!

sulking
stonewalling
drinking till he passed out
out every weekend with his mates
his inability to stand up to his mother
his nightmare family
his teeny tiny button mushroom dick
his preference on wanking to open instead of trying to be intimate with me.

Lord I am so well out of it!

oh my goodness I am remembering more!

ALWAYS wearing his shoes. They never left his feet unless he was going in the shower or into bed.

The fact his feet and shoes STANK because of this.

The way he would stink of chips and cooking and sweat when he came home (chef) and wouldn't want to shower.

the way he never had an original thought or joke in his life. everything was someone else's opinion or humour.

the fact he would spend all his time playing fucking call of duty yelling to his mates down a headset then get sulky if I read instead of watching how awesome something was or laughing at how funny he was being calling his friends dick heads after shooting them on a computer game.......

I'm sure there's more.

Sleeping with other women in our bed, his steroid abuse , me having to pay for everything.

His snoring
His farting
His baby voice
His using every dish in the kitchen when he cooked
His constant rage every time he got behind the wheel
His never defending me when his shrew of an ex slated me
His shagging my friend behind my back for for years
And most of all, his drinking

My ex used to pick his nose and eat it

Mine used to pick and wipe on the side of the mattress....

Oh god and ears... yes picking horrible compacted bits of wax.... he said it was cos he was ginger... urgh...

Notbeingfunny wasn't to keen on his breathing either lol poor bloke

ahh breathing ......

ex was a mouth breather who was utterly dead behind the eyes. When we met he used to make me laugh with what i thought was HIS humour, not realising he was mimicking stuff from The Fast Show and passing it off as his own.

Worst of all, his implied and tacit refusal to meet my needs (very reasaonable ones at that)

Fucker.

His cross dressing (I now have no one secretly wearing my stockings!)
His nose whistling at night when asleep
His inability to hold a normal conversation with another human being
Leaving the loo seat up
.. and his fucking annoying mother who continues to wipe his arse aged 50 !

Oh.... and more...

Constantly playing with his nose hairs
Jiggling his balls around through his jeans pockets
Sex being as dull as screwing a plastic Ikea plant
Never looking at people in the eye
BEING BORING AS SHIT!!!!

I ran into my first boyfriend yesterday at 'the asda' He was more than a tad androgynous and we often borrowed each other's clothes. I never minded because he was (and still is) lovely.

I've been thinking over this very thing - there are things that bothered me about x that don't bother me about others e.g. He told me he was sexually obsessed with his cousin when he was about 14. My general view is that this is not that abnormal.

I had a really strong negative reaction to it and told him he could 'never expect me to visit them now'. I think it's because of his general behaviour around other women. Literally 70 year old pensioners to 16 year old work experience interns, even ppl on TV, he would be super inappropriate, sitting them on his knee, making sexual jokes etc obsessing over their looks and everything they said...

1. Her Snoring
2. Falling asleep at 9:30 with no energy
3. Constant nagging if I had one beer
4. Her menopausal mood swings
5. Her bloody smelly dogs
6. Constant need for showy attention and little tokens of love
7. Her dislike of her own children
