Someone I know whose husband left her in a classic Midlife Crisis, dropped weight and started driving hot cars, observed that her ex’s “Trophy Girlfriends” all looked like younger versions of herself.
Neither of my last two exes appears to have dated again after we broke up. Did I scare them that much?
Me too
After much thought, I finally thought of something. Three of my exes have gone back to the ex right before me, and gotten married to that person. I wonder what that means.
That’s happened with two of my exes (I even got invited to one of the weddings), but those are the only two guys I know about. I have no idea what/who the rest of 'em are doing.
With my daughter’s father, all of his SO’s since me were seriously screwed up drug addicts, strippers and anorexics. Of course, he was/maybe still is abusive. He is a great guy and one of my best friends, but he has major issues and that equates really screwed up relationships. The thing that they all have in common is that they all let him beat up on them. I didn’t. They’re all also what I would call “dirts.” The kind of girls that only wear skintight blue jeans, tshirts and have the ever-present whaletail. Nothing at all like I – I tend to dress up most of the time in public (hell, I have been known to wear handmade silk saris just because).
With my VIE (Very Important Ex – the love of my life, as it were) all the girls he has been with since me have been very mainstream, conservative and not very bright. They seem to bee golddigger types. The girl he is with now (from what I know of her) actually seems very much like me – except that she is very conservative. I like her quite a bit and she is very cute (his other SO’s were usually ok-ish, but the kind of women you just knew were high-maintenance). I hope she’s the one for him, I like her…
An extremely high tolerance for bullshit 
(i kid!!, a little!)
Honestly, I’m only in touch with my last 3 relationships, not including the current one…but only two out of the three are with someone now,
Both of the guys are kind of johnny plain and talls …both older than me, one significantly. Both seem like the type that can and want to be be molded into whatever they need to be for the relationship…and i think thats why they are in relationships with these people now as opposed to me. Both pulled some weird shit with the girl while I was in the relationship at the time. Pretty romantic/scum baggy :rolleyes: stuff…I guess their heart was in the right place…At the same time it makes you wonder what was going on during the relationship!
oh! And both play guitar!! Well from what I gather!! 
I don’t have enough interest in ex-es (including ex-wife) to be able to answer the question.
I am proud to be the first one here asking- How you doing?
I tended to date guys with powerful, successful fathers. Senators, deans, CEO’s, real estate magnates, that type. Very strong trend for me. Ended up marrying the son of one.
Every single one of my ex’s has cheated on me. But every one of their new SO’s (that they cheated on me with) has cheated on them.
Karma - ain’t it cool?
Ditto. I know nothing and don’t want or expect that to change.
That’s great, but doesn’t answer the question. 
Is that what they call the “livejournal head tilt”? 
I’m sorry, but a guy who beats up on women is great how?
Edited to apologize for hijacking, but I’m dumbfounded that anyone would be “best friends” with someone who beats up his girlfriends.
Two (that I know of) exes have other SOs (one before me, one after me) who were Miss Something-or-other. One Puerto Rico, one Alabama.
Would you stop being friends with a person who had a mental illness? Nah, I didn’t think so. A person can be a good person with mental illnesses and abuse issues really are akin to illness.
Meh…YMMV
OK, there’s clearly a lot of backstory I’m not privy to here. I’ll stop hijacking and agree to disagree.
Not really so much of a backstory as we were friends for a long time before we ever dated, then we had a child together and were still very close friends. Then we had issues and his abusive nature came out – he comes from a very abusive childhood, so neither of us were surprised. We split because we did not want our daughter to grow up in that kind of situation and think it acceptable. He has never and (in my opinion) would never be abusive to our daughter – not that he would have much chance, he lives in the Phillipines now and I live in TN with full custody – and he is still a wonderful and kind person. Just not a great husband/boyfriend.
I point out that even Jeffrey Dahmer had friends – you can be a total asshole in many respects but still a likeable and decent person in other respects. not that I am saying Dahmer was decent, but he was apparently a likeable person
not that I am comparing my ex to Dahmer, just making a point
