Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? grober: I posted this in the SINGLE LIFE section before I saw this thread. The things I miss most are
Intimacy: (no not just sex) It is one thing that I always loved about being married. Being a very affectionate person, I loved just being close, holding hands, hugs. The two of us waking up on a saturday and just spending the morning in bed with the paper. Just being goofy together.
Shared wave length: I couldn't think of a better way to say this. Always being on the same page was awesome. All the jokes that only we understood, all the trivial nonsense that only we cared about made up our own unique language. We enjoyed many of the same things so partial sentences were all we needed to communicate.
Shared experiences: The good, the bad and the ugly. It all seemed more special (good times) or easier (bad times) when experiencing it with someone that I cared about.
I think we all feel like damaged goods at some point or another. God knows I have. But, at least we can see some of the positive aspects to our past relationships.
Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? atd74: Bills,
Funny you mention about being hardwired for marriage - I too am the same way. I love men, don't mind being single right now but don't want to be forever, want kids and am a very committed, monogomous person as well. Even though I grew to resent and dislike my ex because of all the crap he put me through I still love the thought of marriage and wanted to be married forever.
I don't miss my ex at all though that's for sure!
None of us are damaged goods - wipe that kind of thinking from your brain! It just didn't work with this particular person right? I used to believe that there was only one true love or soulmate out there for everyone but I don't think that way anymore... I obviously wasn't meant to be with my ex hence the divorce so there must be someone else waiting for me. Same for you...
Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? insomniak23: I miss alot of what everyone is saying but I also miss staying in bed with the kids on sunday and sitting there relaxing and ordering chinese food.
I miss having someone to come home to, to talk to. The kids are great but they only understand so much
