Absolutely do not consider this as important sa other prayer requests we have in here, but it's troubling me right now, so whatever help I can get would be appreciated. Won't bother going too much into it, but slowly working on trying to get back together with an ex. Both of us are still interested, but haven't even been on a date again yet, much less actually back together. She's been on a coupla dates lately with another guy, and for some reason that just is killing me. No right or reason to be jealous, but for some reason really hitting me wrong. So any prayer or smoke y'all can send my way to helpme deal with this would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, mnore to it than all this, but gives som eof gist. Women sure can make life complicated(No offense Mamav. :) )
 
I've known a couple of guys who tried going back to their ex's. It didn't work for them. Here's hoping you are the exception.

Good luck and best wishes for happiness.
 
Prayers for your future happiness.

Here's to the right girl for you! :)
 
Been there before, brother. In my case it worked out and we're getting married. Best of luck to you. I truly hope she is the one you're meant to be with. Prayers going out.

Y'all may very well be right Semp and Uncle Bill, and I'll see. heck, I really want this to work out between her and I, and think there's good hcance it might, though I won't go into all of that, as y'all aren't my counselour. Least, not too often ;) . My bigger concern right now is my feelings of jealousy. I've never been that kind of guy before, but really been a problem here. And that worries me. I don't want to be that kind of guy. Heck, will take any smoke or prayers I can get, and hope things work out between her and I, but if y'all could pray/send smoke on the jealousy, that's my real concern. And yes, jsut repeated myself. :)

Thanks as always guys, for the concern, the prayers, and the honesty in pointing out fact I may be making a mistake. That's what friends are for, and fully what I knew I'd get here in the Cantina.
 
women can definitely be difficult...but I'll still pray for you and yours. And the jealousy thing....that's a real pain. Take care.
 
I've found that men are sometimes just as difficult as women and often more petty and worse gossips.:rolleyes: :grumpy:
Edit: However men are cleaner than the ladies in public restrooms.:p
From many years of experience cleaning service station restrooms as well as my stint as a janitor in the Tulsa Public School System for a couple of years.;)

I'm sorta with Bill and Semp on this. If she's an ex-wife forget it. You might have a chance with an ex-girlfriend.
The problems you had with an ex-wife will still be there over time.
I once thought that I was in love with the mother of my children even after 20 plus years but I really wasn't.:rolleyes: I was in love with the idea of young love. However she was still a helluva lot of fun in an intimate way.
Finally got even with the bitch after all those years!
And YES, It was worth It!!!!!!!:D
 
I'll just join in the 'good luck' wishing. My own success at relationships sucks big green bananas (technical term). But at least I'm consistent.
 
Smoke sent. I hope things work out well for you and that you are able to overcome your jealousy whether or not you two get back together :)

The thing I see most with ex's is the level of familiarity.....it's just comfortable therefore easy to fall back into the same pattern of behavior as before only to find that the person still ticks you off.....

Hope you guys are the exception but still watch your back.....nothing wrong with CYA.

Good luck
 
It did not work with myself and an ex. I racked up 3 or 4 DUI's aftewards. Hardly her fault, though "many a man has been driven under the bridge by a woman." does come to mind.

Hope it does work out.

ETP?

I hope it works out and you live happily ever after!!!

(I have similar concerns I've been discussing with my daughters. I think their mother is jeopardizing our marraige, and the kids are old enough to understand I think. )

See, she remarried and moved to another state, and has been living with the guy, and frankly, although I TRY to be understanding and see both sides of issues...this may be the last straw.
We haven't lived together since 1976, and went to a court dealie (divorce? dunno) in 1978. I'm thinking that she isn't taking Our marraige seriously.

But honestly, we've never gotten along better since that court thing. :D )

It's tough. Relationships are tough. Identifying YOUR OWN wants and needs and expectations is ridiculously difficult--to say nothing of trying to identify those of another.

Just...just be careful that what you see is really there, and not just something you WANT to be there. OK?

You have my empathy, have been and am in a similar situation. Though usually it is best to stay apart, it can be hard, particularly as in Yvsa's case they are talented to say the least. :p Can be real hard when kids are involved, especially when they start using the childrens to make an entrance. Stay strong, and dont invest too much into it. Sometimes people make mistakes, and need to be apart to realize it. But more often than not, people are scared and alone, and the familiar entices as safe and comforting. Beyond the jealousy ask yourself what your feelings really are, and see what has changed in both you and her that would make things work this time around. Anyways, those are my .00345cents from a fellow brother in life.
 
Hope it happens as you want it to,thoughts are with you , I understand how painfull relationship /lack of one things can be!
Yvsa hidden in your post were some great words of wisdom for me!! Thank you. Rod
