There were 4. Now, looking back, they were pathetic. I have surpassed them all.

And no, you can't be my on my friends list on Friendster or MySpace. :P.

My wife left becuase she said I made her a bad person. She just had to do terrible things to me. She cheated on me while she was pregnant. And after. She had a affair with my coworker that is old enough to be her father. She lied non stop, picked fights, and destroyed our home and family. I still miss her. The person she could have been. Some days I still want her back. I think that I could forgive …

He ended it by saying, "I want to be promiscuous." I ended it by saying "Good luck.".

Jeremy and I.
I loved him, so very much.
We were together for 3 months. I fell hard and fast...
He stopped talking to me for 3 weeks.
I was terrified.
He told me he used me.
I still loved him.
He told me he used me to get back at his girlfriend, the one he had before and while he was with me.


I BLAME MySeLf.

My X had a temper. Everything else was GREAT.

Of course she was pretty, but I fell in love with her because she moved like an angel. To be honest she must have been. There is no other explanation or theory as to how she moved in such a manner. I would purposely hide things from her in order to watch her move. When she would catch on that I hid what she was looking for she would smile, but never say much. However, I was not warned that if you continue to tease an angel they will …

I can't believe the picture perfect athlete ended up being a dropout pothead who left me for a tranny. I'd like to believe he thinks about the chance he missed out on when he had me.
I lost weight but he will always be a waste of space.

Kiss Kiss.

When i first met him I hated him; He loved me.
When he went out with my best friend he became a better friend than her.
As their relationship slowly died, we flirted; to the extreme.
When he dumped her he loved me again; I just wanted friendship.
He went away for a month; I fell in love with him.
He came back and didn't love me anymore.
The other day i told his ex that he felt me up while they were going out; She hates me.
He found …

December 31, 11:00pm. I knew he was going to kiss me tonight when it was twelve and my stomach did a little flip flop. I looked over at him and smiled shyly..he smiled back, he knew what i was thinking about. My first real kiss ever and I was counting down the minutes until it would happen. Time was moving so slowly, I wanted to just reach over and kiss him so many times to get it over with but I was way too nervous.

It was almost time. …

When he gave me the engagement ring I knew we would never get married, he didn't deserve me.. and he knew it also.. but the sex was great.. I never loved him, I loved sexing him.. 3 months later I knew he was cheating but I never said anything because I didn't care.. I was cheating too.. but when the sex went downhill I finally put him out... I know of the girl he is with now.. she loves him and he still begs me to take him back... I …

Right about now, if the airline is actually running on time, one of the most significant people of my adult life is rising into the atmosphere in a tube of metal and gasoline, en route to his next adventure.

He's moving to Trieste, up in Italy's crotch, to teach english.

I think everyone may have someone like this in their lives, or they will. He was the person who shared (and instigated) the most profound joys as well as the blackest pits of despair for the last 7 …

Every past relationship chopped away at my heart, soul, and self-esteem until it got to the point where I didn't believe in love anymore. Each guy seemed to care only about himself. I was always more in love with them than they were with me. I might as well have been the landfill for liars, cheaters, and manipulators. The abuse was never physical, but it might as well have been. I still have scars and I'm sure I always will. I settled for less than I …

I had a best friend and a boyfriend in one person.
i had another best friend on the side.
turns out that best friend and my boyfriend were having relations behind my back.

i love my two best friends and a boyfriend.

Started dating in High School. One month and he was hooked. He chased me for two years before I finally agreed to be with him forever. Too young, but married him anyway. Thought love would get us through it all. Now I know that "ex" is just a nice word for PRICK.

Two years of marriage, problems start having an impact. It's discussed, but he's only willing to go to ONE marriage counseling session. What good does that do? Separate, but get back together saying we'll work on things. …
He was the love of my life. My high school sweetheart. The man I planned to grow old with. We weathered life and got married. But we got busy and he ignored me while I hurt and I ignored him while he buried himself in work. I cheated. I wish I hadnt. He's gone now. My family doesnt know it was my fault. They think he abandoned me. They dont know i deserved to be left. He wasn't a bad man... just immature and inattentive. I needed to be …

He was a silent one. Scared of me I suppose. I really believe that he only said about 20 words to me. I broke up with him through MySpace.
I wish we still talked.
We broke up with a final statement of, "So is that it? Are we done?"
Astonished, I walked away crying, sat in the grass in silence, and heard a whisper: "Please say something."
All I could say was, "You're breaking my heart in a million pieces. I don't know what you want me to say. There is nothing to say."
You asked me what I was thinking and what I wanted. In response I told you it didn't much matter what I wanted because you …

I spent hours trying to think of what to write for this. doing so made me remember all the stuff you put me through and how naive i must have been to think you truly liked me and regret how much i let u strew me on. breaking up with you was the best thing to happen in my life. 15 and and after what felt like years, finally over you.

All he wanted was sex. i said no and broke up with him...yay me!
I'm dating someone who used to be an ex. Two years in between dating sessions, and now we're hopelessly in love, and ready to get married. Neither of us had a truly succesful relationship after we broke up, and now we're going to college together. Fate brought us together, and we're meant to be together forever.
