How well did you know?

I cannot help but wonder, what sort of person was I really with for 13 years? Not that I really care but if they are completely a different person, ...like I said, it makes me wonder.

I do not follow what my ex does. I only wish her the best in life. However, I do talk to her from time to time (primarily around special events like birthdays and holidays) and we are still friends. So I hear a little about her life that way. In addition, I am originally from a small town where everyone knows what color crap you did and at what time. laugh

When my ex and I were together, we raised her son, visited the families, and did vacations. I think that is what most normal families do. She seemed like a nice lady throughout those years.

She did come from a broken family where it seems that she was the least liked. Her only other sibling was a sister whom was spoiled. Not to get into too many details, my ex was kicked out of her home by her mother and step-father. But today, they have overcome those differences are now on a friends level.

Now to the part where I wonder what sort of person I was with. I remember her telling me that she could not understand why people would get tattoos and she would never get any. Well, today, she has tattoos. When we were together, if we drank once or twice a year, that was heavy drinking. Now she drinks every weekend. To top it off, she is now good friends with a biker gang and hangs out with them on a weekly basis.
I also heard from friends of mine that she has a restaining order out against her from the father of her second child.

Hmmm.....what???....who?? I never would have guessed she was that type of woman.

anyway...

I bring this up because I just heard another story that is similar to mine. I had a close friend who was a cop. He caught his wife texting several different men and that was the extent of the information he wanted to tell me. They ended up getting a divorce. I know a friend of his and we met up when I was on vacation. He told me that the cop's ex-wife is now dating an ex-prisoner. The ex-prisoner was recently caught stealing people's lunch boxes at work for their prescription pills. I guess people put their pills in their lunch boxes.

But anyway....I thought it was interesting. How well did you know the person you spent a lot of time with and found out different after you broke up?

Seriously Johnny,

that's a good pic, and the surroundings there look cool. cool

I think you can definitely compete with a young Steven Seagal, with that pic.

Good luck, when all the ladies start writing to you. cheers
*easily transfer to my blogs.
No ladies yet. :( I told CH about it and she loved the stairs. rolling on the floor laughing


And..

Yes about Seagul. lol I want my movie deal you promised me Rob. applause
I had one lined up for a bowling date Robert....the only potential date I had in the last 6 years. I never asked questions, I bet she would have given me a discount at a price tag of a few hundred. rolling on the floor laughing

From the way it sounds, you got women all over the place. Who was it that asked you....Ish? She sees it too...you got more ladies than Clooney. angel
Robert, I don't think I told you this. I made a new user name on another dating site. I decided to use a pick-up line that somebody gave me here....and the new site booted me off. confused rolling on the floor laughing
Robert, have you ever tried contacting the women that are advertised on the side of the pages on here? I keep getting this one window that says I have a gorgeous blonde who lives within 3 miles from me who wants to chat. I have never tried contacting her...even though it seems like she is always online when I am online. laugh
What Johnny?

That blonde must have a twin, because she also lives 3 miles from me, and yet she lives 3 miles from you too?

How can that be, if you're in Michigan, and I'm in California?

Hmm, well.. being the naïve and gullible person that I am, I suppose it's possible. grin
LOL Johnny,

then it will be Moving Raisins Cake. cake uncertain

rolling on the floor laughing
I also changed or maybe became who I really am after my divorce. My ex was not really dominating me but expected me to dress and behave according to what he decided was right. I did not agree but tried to stick to the rules in order to avoid confrontation. Doing the same to the children was what got to me in the end. Sometimes you sacrifice who you really are when you are with someone. Some can keep it up for ever but most not.
Johnny S!!

Wowser, that sounds like my ex's!

The first one complained all the time if I spent $1 without her knowing it. And there were alot of Family issues from her side.

The second one liked the money I made but she complained about my hours at work. Oh yeah, she liked the money and the things I bought for her. But she was always complaining about the houses as if we lived in the barrio (Hispanic ghetto). and lot's of etc.!!

AND!!! They both remarried and were dumped for the things I had been put through. The second ex was particularly puzzling. Everything she complained about me she was ok with her 2nd ex! He was an alcoholic and she took the kids to Al-Anon. I had a great job in the entertainment industry and you think she once went to any function with lots of celebration? NAWWWW!

I know your as puzzled as I am about the ex's. But it's better that you are right and away from them! I know I am!!
Good morning Jonny,
Ive been wondering how much of ourseves we really show to the other person . Or what is the impression we make on others. Maybe we see what we want in the person e are with.
Yesterday while txting with a person I was gettimg to know I mentioned I was shy and I am, but he said no way. Ive read your blogs. He had made an idea of me from the blogs I had written. Maybe all of us make an idea of the person with are with and not really letting them be their true selves. Once they arent with us they start to show their true colours.
