Question 148 (for Piratmas)posted 25 Sep 2012, 03:43So my computer wouldn't connect all day again because of OpenDNS. Shit's pissing me off. Anyways, let's get onto today's topic.
So an ex-girlfriend contacted me through facebook recently. We haven't talked since I left for the Grand Canyon in Arizona to live and work for a year back in 05'. She's already asking me to go out and do something with her, and I can already see where this is heading. I haven't been in a relationship in over 2 years, and I aim to keep it that way. It's not like I don't go on dates, but I just keep things casual. At this point in my life, well, I just don't want to fucking deal with the bullshit. Don't get me wrong, being in a committed relationship is great, for about 6 months, then it practically becomes like a chore. Ugh, no more for me. Going to take someone pretty damn special to land this fish to themselves. So, on to the question..... Have you ever dated another person again after a good deal of time apart? And how did it turn out the second time around? |

Longer story short, my ex asked me out again, and I reluctantly accepted. Things were very different this time around. I was coming into my own, and had no storage of guys to date, but low and behold this time it's my ex who is over the moon for me .... very unexpected, and not necessarily welcomed. I really didn't want a boyfriend at the time, but I was extremely flattered by how gaga he was for me this time, and eventually I caved in and got back with him.

At first I think I was just loving the fact that the tables had appeared to turn, but I liked him enough, and we continued on with a relationship that lead to marriage 1 1/2 later ... It was not a happy marriage for me, I felt like I was too young, and could do much better a lone, so after 6 months I left him. He tried several times within the next year to reconcile with me. I briefly went back, only to end up leaving him again because the truth is I just didn't love him, and I hated "married life". To this day it is not anything I am remotely interested in.

The Moral of my story is ... Don't ever go back! I wasted a good two years of my life with someone whom I wasn't at all in Love with. I think I subconsciously wanted him to know what it felt like to Love someone, and ultimately NOT love you back. I very much regret marrying him, and wish I had just casually dated him until that fizzled out, because it was destined to do so.

It doesn't sound like you love your ex, or relationships, so I say RUN BROTHA, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! You may hurt her now, but it will help her later wink If getting involved was in anyway the "right thing to do", you would not have written this blog ... just sayin biggrin
if it didn't work out the first time it probably wont work the second time around
It was not very good the second time. Bad memories were frequently brought up making the relationship hard to work the second time around.
