The Ex Factor
What do you say about your ex when you meet someone, and the conversation gets round to that?Bearing in mind what you say often says more about you than it does about them. Jokingly, breathing fire
, regretful, refusing to say anything at all, whatever.

Normally the "ex" should stay where he is - in the past!
If he comes up in the conversation I never put him down in any way. Just because the relationship didn´t work out, this doesn't mean that he is a bad man. He could make someone else very happy?
As they say "someone´s trash can be someone else´s treasure"!
I always say I'm sure you'll meet them some day and you can decide for yourself
In any case, I never say anything bad. I just say "we were not compatible". And .. voilà!
Although generally rule one is never talk about the ex, it can in some instances help a person get an insight into what the other person is like.
If the guy tells me bad things about his ex I wonder what he will say about me when I am the next ex?
I've never liked bring up none of my ex's. And I don't! Because I treat it as the pass. And plus I'm kind of secretive. And besides! I try not to tell everything. Because that other person just might not be telling you everything. Or just might not even be telling you the truth. Or just might just tell one side of it. While in reality! There is 2 sides to the story. Then their is the side of the truth! To the whole story.
Anyway! Less information about the ex. Works best for me.
Just workin with whose is in my present. IMO ....
If the guy is a widowed he will only talk about his wife positively and tell you what a wonderful person she was etc..
However, if he goes on and on about it, this means that he is not really ready to move on?
If a guy is divorced, he will usually talk about his ex in a negative way saying that she left him, she betrayed him etc.etc.
This guy is probably full of anger and has a lot of baggage and is playing the victim, so, ladies, just stay away from this type! -unless you want to rescue him, of course
Now, if the divorced man talks about her positively, well... he´s worth considering!
The single and never married type who talk about his ex gf in a bad way.... forget it, run away!
If he talks about her positively... ummmm....don´t believe everything he says! Maybe he just wants to impress you!
Have I forgotten any type here?
"being diplomatic and pretending its NOT there"
I Agree with you!
Also with your last comment too!....
My brother was always my best source of male reactions, and he said when a woman told him she wasn't possessive / clingy and believed in open relationships, either she was extremely possessive, or she intended to carry on seeing other guys. Trouble was - he could never work out which ..
Then leers at you ...
Well! At my age. I kind of get around! That reminds me.
Just only be there for a month...
I've Already Added!
not have any problem answering a person's questions about
their life and all the experiences, good and bad decisions,
that culminate in the person they are now.

Which I am now going to do, taking the rest of the evening off, have a lovely blogging time y'all.
He obviously wants you to make you feel sorry for him hoping that you will bring some excitement into his boring life.
