Do you think about your exes? Do your exes think about you? If you broke up with someone who wanted to marry you, do you think that person ever thinks about you - years after the relationship ended and you've both moved on. I.E.: you're married and he's getting married? Just curious as to what everyone thinks. Wondering if it's true that when you're thinking about someone, they are usually thinking about you, too.

Hi Love Eternal. Great question. I think about my ex and I have the strangest feeling that he must be thinking of me too. But am I just kidding myself? I don't know, but I tell you what girlfriend: it means that we still have him on the mind. And other places. I have got to face it and confront his memory because it keeps creeping up on my like a little shadow.

This question really hit me kinda funny today. You must be reading my mind because I have wondered this myself. I think about my Ex all the time but, only because we have a child together. To me, no matter how much bad 'history' my son's mother and I have together, she will ALWAYS be his mom and I will ALWAYS be his dad. So, what she teaches him, what he learns from her, how he interacts with her, etc. is important to me because it helps shape my son's personality. I think its very important for parents to stay involved in every aspect of their children's lives. No matter if the parents are married or divorced, working together to raise a child is so crucial when it comes to a child's development. I don't sit and think..."Is she thinking about me? I wonder what she thinks of me these days?" I already know those answers! LOL! We talk but we are not friends. I have, in the past when we first got divorced, wonder if we were doing the right thing, if I still loved her, does she have any feelings for me,........that type stuff but, time has shed some light on our situation and there is no way I could live with her ever. I'm sure she would say the same about me. Hmmmm, did I answer your question or did I go through therapy just now? LOL! Peace.

I would like to say one can go on and be able to be successful (and yes, I did and REMAIN SINGLE and will NOT be in any other relationship because I do NOT want another HORRID experience) ... but ...
when the Ex is Divorced, and that ex continues to try to control or manipulate you, steals from your residence every so often, abuses your children, damages your auto, sends you and calls you with threats when you file the police reports (and even provide the police with the evidence/photos/medical reports), stalks your residence every time he does not have a job, etc etc etc ... then
ONE is forever trapped in having to make safety plans to try to avoid being killed or abused yet again.
UNFORTUNATELY this is the situation that more than just me go through. I just wish he would STOP and never show back up ever again. But, I know that when he has no job once again, my home will be robbed and I will again be threatened.

For a certain period after a relationship is over, I definitely think about the person. Particularly if s/he is the one that dumped me, I am sad and do a lot of thinking.
Sometimes it just takes a while to heal. But after a certain period of time (maybe six months - a year), I find it easier to move on. Sometimes I'll even become good friends with the person.

I've been married for a couple of years and I do sometimes think about my ex. I'm pretty sure he thinks about me too. But I would never do anything to hurt my husband, I wouldn't even think about talking to my ex on the phone.

Yeah, sure, I think about the past every so often. I keep somewhat in touch with several people I had been involved with, and at least a couple of them had admitted on occasion that they still remember fondly our times together. However, I'm about to get married (again), and do not dwell on the past too much.

Every once in a while something will happen that will remind me of an ex. It usually happy thoughts and puts a smile on my face. But exs are exs for a reason.

The notion that if "you're thinking about someone, they are usually thinking about you, too" is ridiculous and has no basis in fact. That is just some pie-eyed romantic notion of something you wish was true but isn't. The truth is that sometimes people think about their former relationships. It doesn't mean anything. You would be better off concentrating on your present relationship, or on finding someone who will treat you well.

I do think about my exes....but not everyday of course, but the shitty exes hell no, hardly ever, just the nice ones. and yes i think they think about me from time to time, probably in a true blue moon. and if someone broke up with someone who wanted to marry them yes i def think they still think about that person. its normal...memories...all normal.

great question.
yup i think about all my ex's and i often wonder how they're are doing.
but i definately do not have any regrets as these men are my ex's for one reason or another and that status is how they'll stay with me forever.
life is too short for me to be thinking what if's
xoxo
