Thank you to my Ex for...

This thread is for the GOOD things our ex-partners/lovers/spouses/significant others introduced us to, taught us, gave us a chance to appreciate, etc.

Names of your ex are not necessary, just the "good" stuff you took with you when the relationship ended.

I'll start:

One gave me the opportunities to appreciate long road trips, Native American Pottery, the southwestern US, golden retrievers, primitive living in the woods and reading.

One taught me to not accept less than stellar treatment of myself and to always be honest. She also taught me a lot about driving and having respect for over the road truck drivers. She was the one who made me realize I could only be with a butch the rest of my life...a real appreciation of the Butch Femme community.

One gave me the chance to realize how wonderfully healing and calming the ocean beaches can feel. Also, an appreciation of life in a warm climate. She also gave me the chances to work on myself and learn patience and what life is like for someone who is not as able bodied as I am. She got me on a regimen of vitamins and helped me make doctor appointments, and as a result I've been doing so much better these days!

One started me listening to classic county music and my now favorite radio station.

I'll post more as I think of them.

I'm going to love reading this thread! I think focusing on the good things is way more productive and benefical than on the negative!

I'll be back later to post even though I have only the one ex ...

Going forward:

If you are going to post something about someone who is on this site and is an ex, please confer with them privately to secure permission before posting. Some people do not want to come upon posts that their ex has posted about them. We do get reports about that.

Thanks,
Jennifer (Moderator)

Thank you to my ex for showing me love holds no boundaries or distance, it just is what it is & it was what it was with no regrets......

Thank you to my ex for reminding me of my strengths & my weaknesses & letting me be just me without the need to shelter myself or expect higher of myself then I was capable of doing...

Thank you to my ex for showing me that I am enough, was always enough, will always be enough & to never settle for less then I am worth....

Thank you to my ex for the memories for they have helped me grow a better understanding of me....
