Do you ever talk about them with your partner? Do you ever see any of them and wonder what it would be like if you stayed together?

We talk about what and if, and wonder, I think we all do, sometimes I think what would life been like the changes wether we would have had children and what would I be doing now. Chris talks about her sailor boyfriend long before me, and I ask if she has regrets and she says she doesnt, who knows. Yes I often wonder what past lover would have been female enough to take me on. Life can be cruel but also wonderous, and dreams help people along, fantasies of the past are but a mere port in the storm.

Yes we do! A whole lot lately since one of them still wants to "be my friend". Friends like him I do not need! Actually hubby might try to get him to leave me alone if he doesn't take a hike soon! It would have been a nightmare for me if we stayed together, no doubt about it!

I have never really talked about my past lovers , just causes jealousy . But I have and do see a couple of close ex's , and I wondered for a minute what it would be like, only one I have wondered alot about untill lately , but I think well enough is left to the past . And I think people are really looking for that connection they once thought they had, and then you have to think , there is a reason they are your past lovers.

Oh that has been a FUN one over the years! She has an ex that was a police officer in our old precinct and he would stop by to vist aLOT. And as I have a child from one of my past ooppsses we have that family situation to contend with regularly. Includeing being invited over for parties etc. Her ex and his latest girlfriend have even come over to our new house and hung out in the pub.

I have only really had one other lover than my hubby....and that was during the 18 months we were split up...would i like to go back to him??? No i think I have finally gotten over him....I love hubby just not his drinking!!!!
When my kids were younger they used to tease me when I would run into an old boyfriend in the grocery store. I have only had 1 lover and he is right here with me everyday. :knuddel:

There are a couple that my wife and I talk about, there's even one that calls the house from time to time, pisses my wife off, but this ex-gf thinks she can whip my wifes butt, and my wife keeps telling her to just bring it. She hasn't called back since.
Naw, I don't really wonder what it could have been. With any one else from my past.

I only talk to my wife about my ex's when forced. LOL Honestly, she hates hearing about them and thinks I was some kind of major stud muffin or something. (eyeroll - where was I when that was happening?) I do have one ex that I keep in touch with though. We started out hot and heavy, lived together for a few years, then broke up badly. After about a year apart, we got together again in more of a "friends with privileges" kind of arrangement and we got on great. I've known her for 20 years now and don't see that ending anytime soon, although the "with privileges" part kind of died since I moved over 400 miles away to get married. I still wonder though...

I try hard not to talk about my ex's but its not easy when you end up talking about your sex life! what you have done in the past and have you done this then it the who with thing!
I remember in the early days of me and my wife before we married going in to the local pub were i grew up and one of my childhood sweethearts that i was forcefully seperated from (By her parents!) she came over to me put her arms round and gave me a kiss my girlfriend (now wife) was steaming and ready to knock her out!
I do think of past relationships often and yes that girl in the pub was one that i wish i could have married even after all these years!
My ex before my wife was a total nutter but we had great sex on the bus in the park even in the living room while everyone was asleep in the same room on xmas day boy that was fun lol!!
But i dont like to tell my wife these things because i dont want her to think she is not good enough for me or that she bores me different relationships have different quality's! and although every body wants more or some thing else i'd like to keep what i have also.....
SaltyLime
08-10-2006, 09:21 PM
and although every body wants more or some thing else i'd like to keep what i have also.....
gotta agree with you there.
when i think back about anything, including the ex, i focus more on the old me compared to the new me. just to remember me at a younger, fresher stage. places i've been. and of course with those places comes the people who were in your life at that time. wouldn't give up what i have for something i wouldn't have kept.

I never speak to ex's ... just don't...I don't get why anyone would unless you're looking for trouble..
Sometimes when I look back at some of my old lovers some didn't have closure and I know there isn't a thing I can do but other times there were some hot times also..

Yesterday I ran into the first and only boyfriend I had before I met my husband. He is entering his second divorce. He asked me whatever happened between us...
I was 16, he was 19 ( we had "gone steady" since I was 14 )...he joined the army and took some other girl to germany with him. He didn't even tell me we were breaking up. Just up and got married and left. I was soooo totally devastated for months. I would have gone with him, I thought we would marry someday. Guess I was wrong.
Then of course I met my true love a year later, he swept me off my feet.:kk
I told him hubby and I had just celebrated 30 years together and we exchanged info about kids, grandkids etc.
But it was nice to hear him say... Damn, I made a mistake, what a fool I was, we would still be together...and he said I was good looking for an old lady - which was a compliment in his own way. It helped me walk a little straighter for the rest of the day.

I have one past lover that I still talk to via email/msgr and phone at times....very regularly. He changed me, the way I am, the way I make love, the way I kiss....I will always view him as the man who helped me realize my full potential...of course, that full potential can only come out with the right partner and the right emotions. Due to circumstances at the time, I had to let him go and it was hard....very hard. However, we've managed to have a friendship beyond anything else...for that I am humbled. He knows all about what I think of him and I know how he thinks of me...but it would never work out between us....he is going through a hardtime in his life right now and I am doing my best to be there for him. We see each other very irregularly and always in a place that is neutral...we both know what would happen if we were alone and due to us both being in other relationships, we don't allow that to happen.
I guess you could say that I have never recaptured that with anyone else...and I never will. I honestly feel that there's somethings that only happen once in a lifetime and if you find that you are extremely lucky. I have experienced intense, true, sensuality with this man....I cannot think of another way to explain it. And for that, he will always hold a piece of my soul, my heart that I will never get back.
And....
I wouldn't want too.

Do you ever talk about them with your partner? Do you ever see any of them and wonder what it would be like if you stayed together?
Not very much. There was a 7 year drought between the girl I dated in high school and the woman who became my wife. The two of them have never met. I do wonder what it would have been like had we stayed together. We very nearly married right out of school, but her going away to college and my immaturity pretty much killed that. She now has twins and is married to a grocery store manager. Quite a change from her life plans.

Do you ever talk about them with your partner? Do you ever see any of them and wonder what it would be like if you stayed together?
I have mentioned a few to my partner, due to the traumatic circumstances surrounding the relationships. I mention them so he can have a better understanding of how I was molded by the men in my life, where my fears stem from, and why I may have the reservations that I do at times.
There is one that I do wonder about on occasion.....my first true love. I know that everything happens for a reason though and that there was a reason we did not make it. Now I have a beautiful son who is the love of my life and would not go back and redo the past. I believe I would have continued to be loved by that man, that boy.......but, like anything else in life, I would not be able to predict the outcome of such relationships. I am happy to have had all of the relationships (good and bad) that I have had and am a better and wiser person for having learned the lessons that I did as a result.
hmmm...email one and we are still friends. But never talk about them with wife.

I am still friends with all of my past lovers. All 5 of them, lol. And as such, they are talked about quite frequently in my home. It's only caused a problem once, but it was quickly resolved when I pointed out that if I still wanted to be with my ex, I would be. How can you argue with that?? :D

This topic sends chills down my spine. I had my high school sweet heart....who left me to go to Greece....comes back 14 years later and knocks on my door....out of the blue. My wife answered the door.....let her in...and called me from the other room so I can say hello to a visitor. Let's just say it was a very odd moment. I was in shock and looked as if I saw a ghost. She was in shock to see how much my life changed. My wife looked at this thing as one big experiment....she loved every moment.
I have to admit....i was thinking....threesome...then I woke up. lol
The past is the past . . . or at least I have always beleived it is . . . was . . . whatever. The other night I had a very disturbing dream about my most significant ex. I woke up , and really couldn't get back to sleep. Haven't told anyone. My wife doesn't know she even exists. Come to think of it, I don't know if she still exists. Haven't seen her in 15 years.
Still, I have these thoughts wandering through the back of my brain.
Gotta shake 'em loose.

i agree...let the past stay there. I did however have a recent occurence where out of the blue, an ex i was with for 8 years through high school and college contacted me. He was a pretty boy...goodie goodie...we had our whole lives planned but I decided I wanted more excitement in my life and broke it off. He was devastated but I knew it was for the best. After not speaking for several years...he called me up at work the other day. The friendly soul that I am answered like I knew who I was talking to or at least the voice was familiar and when he said who it was...I almost croaked. Sure there are times I have wondered what could have been, but knowing I could get whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it, just didn't seem to intrigue me at the time...I still feel it was the right thing and when he called me sweetie after not talking for so many years, knowing he is married with two kids...just turned me completely off...I am confident I made the right decision so many years ago.

I never talk about it! The girl I was with when I met my wife tried everything to get me back, so she is not very well liked by her. Now she is a Playboy Centerfold! I would never in a million years tell my wife that. I have to admit I have sneaked a peak now and then. Besides the fact that she was sycho, she was soooo beautiful!

That's a great attitude Torin. I know my wife's first, her last before me and a few in between. She knows my first, last and a few others as well. We've talked openly and honestly about it, and it just makes us that much more in tune to one another's wants and needs sexually.

Past Lovers: Do you ever talk about them with your partner? Do you ever see any of them and wonder what it would be like if you stayed together?
The subject has come up now and then over the years. Funny, but I ran into one of my ex's while shopping - when he saw me, he did a double-take, looked over at his now wife and you could see he regretted the choice *he* made :D

I would never dream of talking about them with her, she is extremely attached to me, and I was a horrible boyfriend when I was dating my wife. If I even mentioned one it would crush her. It is an extremely hard process for me to get her to just accept some of my female friends because of this. Plus I don't think she actually knows how many people I have been with and wouldn't want to freak her out. Other than that I have only had 3 other lovers that I would be curious about what they are doing and the what if's. I do talk with one occasionally via email to this day. But no regrets, they all played their part in getting me to my dream girl.
I was in Palm Coast, Fla this past October on business...watching the news and there she was...hadn't laid eyes on her in 25 years...she was unmistakable...same eyes, hair, shape...god that took me back...I want to pick up the phone and talk to her...let it go instead...

I kind of agree with this, but I find the concept of exes being exes easier in theory than practice. I love my wife and don't want to change her. But I do find I think about exes maybe more than I should. From the posts, it appears I'm not alone in having one particular "ex" that could raise more than an eyebrow if she appeared back on the scene.
Strangely my wife is more concerned about someone who nothing happened with but nearly did who has just got back in touch, after 10 years, via facebook.
We are who we are because of who we have known and exes are exes for a reason. Not always easy to remember when you bump into your partners "ex" in town and there is that kind of uneasiness that says there is unfinished business.
I reckon it's best to keep on flirting and quash that green eyed monster.:whee:

For me, there is a girl who I dated for sometime before my other girlfriend at the time (AKA, now my wife) informed me I was going to be a DAD. I find myself thinking of her often, wondering what she is doing now and how her life turned out (that the time we were very close, especially sexually).

Do you ever talk about them with your partner?
The subject only came up once in our marriage, and a very good friend of mine advised her to not probe too deeply into my sexual history. Being the intelligent woman she is, she listened.
Do you ever see any of them and wonder what it would be like if you stayed together?
I have seen a few of them from time to time, but I only really wonder about one, but since that was/is/and will never be an option, that thought is just fleeting.

I often wonder about my ex-fiance a lot. Our sex life was exceptionally hot and there were a lot more roads to be traveled with her than my wife. I only bring up my ex with my wife if the situation warrants and that is very rarely. She never had anyone, well of any substance, before me so it something I don't really consider for her.
I do not discuss any boyfriends with my hubby, even if they were from grade school. Maybe he wouldn't be as bad now but he used to have a jealous nature. I have kept in touch with one old b.f. we still email and have met for lunch. Totally platonic.. REALLY.
I would keep in touch with more of them if it was easier. I do wonder how some of them are, I can be a bit melancholy by nature and I love to reminisce.

I have recently been in contact with the lover ( boyfriend ) I had before I met my husband - the spark is very much there and I find myself thinking about him far more than I should. He wasn't the right man for me then and isn't now so why do I have this almost obsession with him. We have met up a few times and the result is I feel really guilty but want to see him again at the same time. My husband knows him and thinks we have only been in contact by phone. This guy is really not worth perhaps ruining my marriage over....why do I act this way?

I used to like hearing about ex flames. It was like foreplay and a bit of a turn on, but lately in the situation my marriage is in I can't stand the thought of others with her.
Daisymay75, I have kept in touch with an old gf and the more we talk the more the spark is there. I don't know why I would do this either, perhaps I think the grass is greener or wonder about the what could have happened.
That should bring a double standard remark!
