Marmitetoasty: My X asked for his slippers back when he first left, didnt ask for a photo of our boys or time with them or anything, just his slippers … So, I posted him his slippers, it was not my fault that the cat seemed to of done a poo in them just before I wrapped them and posted them to him :) ok ok, so the cat didnt actually do ‘it’ in his slippers, ‘it’ needed a little lifting and placing lmfao.
Question: How would you describe your relationship with your ex (if you have one)?

I think this is the third subject today that inadvertently went down the divorce path. My relationship with my ex started out like a rough roller coaster ride and through the years has settled to a nice quiet ride like an old time raft along a calm lake. We have been divorced now since 1976. That’s longer than most everyone’s marriage on this blog. Longer than some of you have been alive. He left town about a year after the divorce, coming back once for his Dad’s funeral. At the reception afterwards, we hung out together with friends from our married days and the talk was that I was the lucky one – I got to divorce the whole family. And this was true. I would say that the divorce was my stepping stone into growing to become who I am today, much more self-confident, way more independent. I don’t share well when it comes to responsibilities at home – and in a way, Mechanic Man really likes that I take care of things, except he won’t let me touch his classic ‘55 because I’m a girl. Through the years, my ex has come to the point that he will tell me I’ve done a good job raising our boys to men and in who they each have become. Our communication now is via Christmas cards.

I was in a relationship before Spazz that lasted about 2 years. The first 18 months were fine and then it was a roller coaster for the last 6 or so. I haven’t spoken with him since November of 2007.

I raised three children with my ex, so she will always be a friend and one I would never speak badly about. I spent a third of my life with her, so how can we speak badly of ones that we have spent so much time with and had children with. We might move on, but please, no regrets.

I doubt Marmite intentionally wished the cat pooh on her ex, but once found out, thought it delightful. Just my thoughts, I got a nice smile out of that story.

Stickman :) it was delightful, especially as it seemed to have gone right down into the toes of the slippers and he would not have known until he put his toesie woesies in them LMFAO…..
