Or are you one of the rare breed who truly "puts it behind you" once and for all?

I can't ever let go. I sooooo wish I could. But I can't. Heck I still wonder how my enemies are. I never like to see people walk away upset, hurt, or mad. It eats me alive. So if someone I adore disappears...... it almost incapacitates me. I don't know that I'll ever be able to put losses "behind me."

All the time. I was with my ex-husband for 14 years and I still think about him whenever there is something that we would have enjoyed. I get jokes from friends and I would love to hear him laugh at them. I know they are the kind he likes, 'funny.'
I think about what it might have been like if we had tried just a little harder and I wonder if the kids would have fared better. I guess I do still kind of live in the past, but I just go day by day. Hoping it gets better and that eventually it won't hurt so bad.

Can honestly say that I only think of my ex when the kids mention him.Very, very rarely!
One other ex gets some passing thought, when I wonder if the police have managed to catch up with him yet and put him behind bars!

I've gotta admit I do wonder how he is but not in a good way. I want him miserable. I want him to live a shitty life. I take GREAT pleasure in knowing something is going wrong for him. I'll post blogs or pictures showing how great I'm doing hoping he'll see them. I broke up with him and he didn't cheat on me or anything. He's just a douche. If he died tomorrow I'd probably have a smile on my face all week.

I put my ex behind me three hours after he finished with me (he, very thoughtfully, told me I could phone him once a week for a couple of months to help me get over him ....... after I stopped laughing, I told him the predicted amount of hours for him to be out of my system).
However, in the intervening six years, I have thought about him about three times. Once you've been close to someone, I think its impossible not to. I still wonder about my first boyfriend from time to time.

I'm doing the best I can with that at the moment. I'm definitely not that "rare breed" it takes a lot of emotional homework.
Care to help me study?

Yeah I put it behind me BUT yes, I definitely think of old boyfriends often...especially ones I really liked alot, I think , where are they, how are they, are they married with kids etc.
Man, I even wonder how my ex is and I haven't talked to him in 8 years and really hated him toward the end!
I think lots of people think they can forget BUT I don't think it is actually possible, memories are hard to forget...thats why they are called memories.

I am definately one of the rare breed..When a relationship was ended it was just that ended it was over and done with no looking back..If more people realized that they would be much happier.I think people that drag the ended relationship on and sit and think about it they cause their own misery..If it is over it's over,be done and move on..

I actually do like catching up with them. I don't ever feel weird when I run across an old flame... sometimes I think they might feel weird so maybe it depends more on gender if you wonder how they're doing now. I just caught up with my high school sweetie on facebook.com and it was nice to see what he was doing - he is also married and just had a baby. We caught up and then never talked to each other again on there... it was just nice to know that he was doing well for himself.

One of the most hurtful aspects of breaking up with someone you've loved, is the fact that they rarely bother, even with a phone call, to ask how you are.

well I don't care how my ex is, but that is probably because he tried to kill me more than once... so as long as he follows the pfa (protection from abuse order) that i have on him, i really could care less what he does or how he's doing....
sometimes i wonder how it would've been if he never beat me (I was with him for more than a year before the abuse started) but i don't care about him now, now i concentrate on me, graduating from college and if i find another guy he'd better treat me like the princess i am :)
