Hobbies/habits/etc.

Most of my music tastes came from one of my exes.

    I learned how to run properly. Before we dated I could barely get through a minute straight of running. After he corrected my posture and breathing, i can run for miles.

    I hate it, but I can do it.

    My ex introduced me to my wife of 20 years, which helped me dodge a major bullet.

      I’m sorry but we’re gonna need some 🫖🍵 and biscuits with this comment. Like, how crazy was she? Is it true what they say about sticking it in crazy? We want details.

        I mean, there are tons of stories I could share, but the biggest one is that she did 14 years in prison for attempted unalivement of a 2 year old she was baby setting.

    How bad i am at communicating. Not all of our issues stem from this, but i did start to realize that i am terrible at saying what needs to be said to be understood.

    I also found out how different people are. Everyone is motivated by something different. If you don’t spell out your motives, then the other person is gonna assume they’re the same as their own and completely miss your point.

    I learned what behaviors I absolutely should not and will not tolerate, which made my relationships and happiness better moving forward.

      Me too. I became a boundary border guard. Never again. The first girl I dated after her got cancelled real quick. I didn’t bother over-explaining or falling for bait to argue. I said that I need time alone, and if she didn’t like that, then bye ✌️

    How to be a strong ally and advocate, even when it conflicts with personal feelings.

    Despite her feelings towards me, she remains a strong ally
