My feelings are a bit complicated toward the 3rd ex. I would say I've run the gamut of all feelings, and now I don't really care about him anymore. I suppose there is regret, in a sense, but mostly it is regret that I spent such a large part of my life with someone who turned into...THAT.

I don’t hate or dislike him. I actually feel nothing at all for him because even though we were physical, we weren’t emotionally deep with each other.

We ended because he fell in love with me without actually knowing me. Think he fell more in love with having sex with me and just couldn’t separate the two. We had an agreement and he knew that I wasn’t interested in that kind of depth. But it didn’t matter. I was forced to be the bad guy.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@PerfectionOfTheHeart I am sorry, thats just too bad, you know.

How do you prevent such situation or someone from falling for you?
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
@Fieldmaster You prevent it by not getting in the situation to begin with. Even with good communication and understanding, that level of being intimate with another can spark feelings and attachments that people didn’t see coming. And there’s really nothing you can do to hinder another from falling for you because our control stops with us.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@PerfectionOfTheHeart Exactly, and Totally agree with that. I think that is what holding me back, for now or at least my last kid is done with education.
I was extremely naive as a young person. I thought that years of people living together created long lasting bonds between people, even husbands and wives. Even family.
I was disposed of permanently by everyone as they continually moved on in serial monogamy, new families after divorce and just moving on! That's normal. It doesn't feel right.

The love of my life and I were together, off and on, for 8 years and broke up in 1992. I always hoped we would get back together. Learned recently she died last year 3 days before her 62nd birthday.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@hunkalove i'm really sorry my deepest
sincere condolences..

My FWB (only one I ever had) is a heartless piece of sheet, but he brings me free alcohol and I get to feel more confident in that kind of situation and experiment with what I like and don't like.

As someone who's been told I'm terrible in bed more than once, I see it as a win. And I know I won't catch feelings.

I was surprised to see that my wife remained friends with all of her college fwb's. She broke up with them when they got serious. She had warned them that she was my girlfriend and only with them for fun.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@exexec that is interesting, so when a woman says that she just wants to have fun, what does that really mean ?
exexec · 70-79, C
@Fieldmaster In her case, it meant they could have sex with her.
No, I don’t dislike anyone with whom I was involved. Even if we weren’t suited for each other, they were basically good people and we parted amicably. I was fortunate.

I have been married twice, once when real young for 1 year and once at 30 for 13 years. To this day I am still friends with both of my exes.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Peek4U wow, good for you man. You must have a great personality.
Peek4U · MNew
@Fieldmaster No, I just believe in the value of blackmail. it's amazing how well that makes other people like you! 🤪
Actually, I believe that if you could love someone enough to marry them, you should be able to put what made you grow apart behind you and treat them with respect, not venom. Worked for me...
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Peek4U lol, blackmail. Lol i bet. Just kidding! Right, as long as that person doesnt turn into psycho.
Ever attacked by a wasp nest? There are things you do in those moments of time that you will never know or remember ... just to be able to defend yourself and get as far away as possible from the nest.

That was my last experience. It's all a blur. I know I'm alive, and I know I'll never see her again (I moved to get away from her. I had to.)

I've done myself well.

My ex died years ago so I have forgiven him for how he treated me. He was an alcoholic/drug addict and I left him with our daughter. Best decision I ever made
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Blondily wow, that is meesed up.
Blondily · F
@Fieldmaster Yes it was. Both mother and son were addicted to it.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Blondily such a waste of life!
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
I don't hate my ex-husband, we try our best to get along so our son has stability and safety. But I am beyond disappointed in him and he doesn't help much at all. I just had to give up and be both parents.

My exbf was/is a clinger and a taker. We still have sex because that's all we're good at, but I'm even losing feeling for that now. He's extremely selfish.

I have come to realize I put up with selfish people because that's all I know.

They left me because they didn’t like how I’d jump on the bed waiting for them to get undressed, and telling them I’d stop jumping if they’d just get undressed faster..

I don't hate him. But we aren't in contact anymore. I don't even think about him unless someone mentions him. We had a piss poor relationship so I am just happy that it's over and I have a new love in my life.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@lissah good, glad he is out sight. And lucky you!
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Never hated my exes. I just hate what they did, and/or their attitudes. As people they're ok. As partners they are toxic to the max. For different reasons.
Infamous607 · 51-55, M
I a bit afraid of her to tell you the truth. But hate? No I don't hate her.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Infamous607 Very very true. I have been there, i can imagine. Wow.
Infamous607 · 51-55, M
@Fieldmaster But hey. That's how you learn.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Infamous607 Right, right.
faery · F
No, I have a lot of fond memories. It petered out for an extended period and I think I was well over it by the time it died.
Ended badly. We still have the occasional decent conversation usually in regards to the kids. Other than that we don't talk

@Fieldmaster yes, our shared custody is she basically has them and when I'm around I have them on the weekends. I talk to them almost every day. I work away so it's about the best deal. They've got the same routine with her always during the school week
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Justafantasy great! I am glad you get to talk to them, very important. Otherwise many unlucky kids don't know who their father is. Is she good at make that happen, does not create issues or drama?
Sunch74 · F
Mine ended because he chose drugs & walked out on me to chase crack cocaine, It fken sucked and hurt that drugs were all he loves more. But life does go on and i hope he is happy.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Sunch74 i am sorry, thats horrible.i am glad you moved on.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@faery That is good! Lucky you.
Cigarguy · M
Yes I hate her for walking out on my children and leaving me to try and help them understand and heal
Cigarguy · M
@zonavar68 thank you, I'm trying to do the best I can for them.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Cigarguy i am really really sory dear. How many and hold are your kids? We do hear women leaning, however it is rather uncommon. She must have gotten really messed up to do that.
Fieldmaster · 46-50, M
@Cigarguy That is good. Your kids will see it, and you will be the light in there dark moments, and yes, it will hurt, but trust me worth it.
I seem to end up disliking them most of the time.
