I think sometimes when a relationship ends. Its not until you decide to get back into the dating scene and actually try and open up to someone else, that you can realise you still have a lot of issues, questions, regrets, love etc about your previous relationship.

jimbob47: But before I get into it.I will put my hand up I still have issues with my EX.But my issues are all about $$$$. So nothing is really holding me back.I am happy enjoying life and meeting people well ladies. Why I have started this topic is kind of out of a little frustration.I have dated a couple of nice ladies from here .But both have kept saying they have issues with their exes .And not certain if they want to date anyone and may take their ex back!! So why are women out there dating but in truth wish to return to their husbands .And from what I have heard these exes are not really nice men.Plus these ladies have been apart for much longer than me!! Why bother to go out and date .And tell me how nice i am etc etc.When really u girls want to be back with your husbands /partners etc that treat you all like dirt !!!
There that feels better .So any one else find this!!
what the?? ... you say you are NOT SURE if they want to date and may take their ex's back... then you make an assertion about them dating and wanting their ex's back
I think you are kidding yourself if you say your only issues with your ex are about money when you have only recently separated .. that is an excuse and you know it jim
everyone to some degree has issues about their ex (about what is irrelevent) an issue is an issue.. the only difference is the time factor.. those who are ex's from many years ago may not still be a raw and angry as those who have recently become ex's... BUT why is your issue about money any more or any less worse than the women you are dating who may have issues about other things such as kids access, or being dumped for another younger model etc etc etc

morebloodyrisks: that works Blonde! NOT!! I tried that one a few years ago... it was going well, until I met someone else.. then it was really nasty, really messy and very emotionally damaging!
Clean break the only way to go....
And I know, you were being sarcastic, weren't you?
jimbob47: How do u think I feel a hot woman sitting across from me going on about how her ex ran off to a much younger (and she was much younger than her partner) woman . And he wants her back !!!! Or we are separated but we live in the same rented house he wont move so y should I !!!
Or am I that desperate
Can't say if you're that desperate .... But maybe some better pre-meet screening?

Sometimes I think men build a bridge, get over it and move on faster than many women. In a good way. Not all, but many ..

Blondeozchik Personally I dont have a problem with ladies having kids ,access etc.That part of finding or starting a new relationship I can accept.That alone surprises my female co workers!!! quote blondeozchick you say you are NOT SURE if they want to date and may take their ex's back... then you make an assertion about them dating and wanting their ex's back quote Well I'm batting 2 for 2 on this one .One told me via txt(and Facebook) and one told me on the phone.First one well I think she was telling porky pies from the start.Two different stories about length of separation plus we are apart. But live in the same rented house neither of us will move out (that alone I should have walked away) .I honestly can not or should not need to deal with a lady crying upset etc on a mobile phone for 10 minutes . Because shes torn between being with the old man and a new man .The second lady I understand a wee bit better but think she needs a friend as a friend .Then when she is totally over her ex to step in I think.(this ones harder english is a second language) Now back to me Blondie .I still maintain my problems with my ex are 2 things 1 being money .The other being she lied to me and i woke up from my sleep of 20 odd yrs to late to see.And I now can see she is still lying to me and taking my grown up kids money .I've told them to take care of their money but its their mum they trust and need her more than me.And I'm the one who does almost everything for them .yes I understand how some mums feel when dad leaves lmao. Just for the record Blondie .I have never felt happier since pre my marriage days .I walk around work singing humming smiling.I am much friendlier than I have ever been .I have my life back .and I love smiling at pretty women in shopping centres and sometimes getting a hello back . Now Blondie if u were in Adelaide I'd invite u out for coffee for a real chat .Thats something I can do now go out for coffee!!!

Thank you serene 56 I think in my case we were living separate lives for perhaps a year or longer.Just I had blinkers on and didnt see what was wrong. I keep telling people wish she left me earlier .

Well verne I'm a bloke .A pretty woman like yourself says lets meet I get stars in my eyes etc etc .Turn into a teenage boy with a my tongue hanging out cant be a pretty sight lmao

It's like venere said, I think Find out more about the person before you set your sights on her, and build your hopes up.
I know you're probably joking around with your last comment, hope so, because women like to feel special and that a man has chosen them particularly, not just because he needs a woman in his life. So just want to say..
Men are allowed to be selective too - slow down, smell the roses and look before you leap

My point exactly, jimbob...
You've gotta start using your OTHER brain!
You obviously talk on the 'phone first. Talk as long as you like with your prospective dates. Then you will be able to establish more effectively, whether you and your potential date have anthing in common. So...TALK before you meeting. I'm thinking maybe you might have missed this step.
*****If she resists talking with you on the 'phone, it might be because her ex is standing right next to her, or over her, or....
