Whats your best Ex story?

My ex-wife and I met at 20 years old when we were in the Army. We had 2 kids together. We grew apart as we got older. By 31 we were divorcing, it wasn’t worried of our fault we just grew and found other than our kids we had nothing in common and our careers taking us literally to different parts of the world.

Now in our 50s, both of us remarried we have a great relationship. She had 1 fantastic son with her new husband and I have 2 daughters with my 2nd wife. We have big sleep overs, her son and my 2 daughters see each other’s as step siblings even though there’s no real relation. Holidays are great cause even my current in laws will invite my ex- wife’s family over.

Meg–yes we went no contact since April up until I woke up night after Halloween with a follow request from him on instagram and then soon a text message. I removed him off of everything after the breakup immediately, and I even told him I would have to do it to heal. He clearly dumped me, yet when I said I do not want to be friends, he said “not gonna lie that stings me a bit,but I understand”. and I was like gotta love karma! woo!

I’ve only had 2 ex’s and both breakups were pretty hard to do. I do everything I can to end a relationship on good terms. Both relationships were bad timing. I was too young in my first one and my second one should have been a fling and turned into a relationship I was too insecure to realize it.

My second ex, I really didn’t want to be with in the first place. He didn’t stop pursuing so I gave in. Once I did, he asked me to move in with him 3 months in, he stopped being charming and romantic. He spent half the time pretty much not working playing videogames and making the internet a priority. so I spent 7 years trying to get him to pay attention to me. I gave, he took, I was miserable. I realized him and I weren’t on the same page on a lot of things, the relationship never felt right to begin with, and was dragged out too long. I had a lot of emotional baggage I was battling so it wasn’t all him. We tried to stay friends and that really didn’t work out. 3 months after the breakup, he started talking to a girl 14 years younger than he was and i realized i had major issues with jealousy. I didn’t want to be with him and leaving him was the best thing I ever did. I couldn’t stand the idea of him moving on so fast and getting a prettier girlfriend. The jealousy started when I saw the connection they effortlessly had that I tried so f×cking hard to create between him and I. Jealousy can turn you into a terrible person and I did things I seriously regret and would never do again. He got me back and hit me where it hurt the most. We’re now on good terms. We have kids together. Sometimes I still have dinner with him and his family. I absolutely love his mother like she was my own that was probably the hardest part about the break up. Her and I still get together every now and then.

My best ex story is I walked away because I wasn’t a priority but his business was. He realized he couldn’t live without me, we got back together, got married and lived happily ever after.
