While surfing around on ok cupid I noticed a guy put on his dating profile that all his exes say he is the best thing that ever happened to them.
“My ex's all say the same thing about me, that I am an amazing boyfriend who treated them far better then they ever deserved to be treated, and someone that even after breaking up with, they still wish to be close friends with. Sounds like a decent testamonial to me!”
Me on the other hand, I have been getting text messages from two people whom I thought I treated horribly. What surprised me the most about that is they remember the good times I had with them. One remembers how we would talk all the time in class. The other remembers us hanging out . I guess we’re at a point now where we really can be friends.
It made me wonder why do we care about what our exes have to say about us? I know that we don’t want to have an ex who’s a stalker or a psycho. But no matter what, they are exes a reason. No matter who did what to whom we can all agree the relationship did not work out for one reason or another. Unfortanetley, we all have exes. That’s one of the things we just have to accept about the people we are dating. No matter who we’re with, someone’s always been there before. Sometimes people do get back together after they break up. But unless that happens, all we can do is learn from the past so we can have a brighter future. After all, our hardest critic will always be ourselves.
