So I'm in NY visiting family for the week and I went out to dinner with my ex boyfriend last night.

Was it validating to hear he had regrets?

That is always good when they show regrets! And a little practice and getting out does everyone good. Keep us posted!

That's neat, Liz! I'm glad you got a chance to see him, as I know you think of him often still.


But I guess I'm just the Old Jaded One or something- because I don't think you should give him another chance to restart anything with you. After all the chances he's had in the past, I just don't know if he wouldn't just get things going and then bail on you again. I'm glad you're NOT holding your breath about him coming to visit you in FL, because I don't see him doing it!


As much as I can be a romantic in wanting some destined love to hold out and win over all costs... I just don't think he is that One... and I don't like it that he's already hurt you before. I just want The Best for you, Liz!!


~shrimpy, who SHOULD be in warm FL right now, as it's freak-a$$ cold here today

That is a good point - you are the originator of it is an ex for a reason. I have never seen it to work to go back.

Luckily for our dear Liz - he is 1200 miles away!!

Surely, Liz, there is a nice Florida guy around there somewhere. I think as your DD ages you will be able to get out more and do more.

I'm glad you had a good time Liz. I don't know that I could go out with an ex again. I think I would be too emotional and leary the whole time. lol!

I used to be that way with him, but I'm not emotional with him anymore at all.
