People speak often of how bad the 'ex' treated them,
hurt them, lied, cheated....etc.
Do you think it was meant to be mean or are people
just living their lives, doing what works for them.
I'm not referring to extreme abuse cases here...just
ended and was time to move on.
I've never felt like "hurting" me was intentional,
vindictive, or spiteful...they were just doing what
they have to do just like I do.
Yeah, I'm a bleeding heart dreamer.....

You lucky young man. Mine was a sperm receptacle.

You deposited some sperm, pushed a button, and a free beer cap would fall out.

I speak about most of mine, but only in a generic sense -- to get into individual cases would be more tedious than it's worth -- suffice it to say that I don't think they were trying to be "mean" -- they were just entirely self-absorbed and had their respective (albeit more or less identical) agendas, and that was all that mattered to them.

They saw me as a means to an end, and the end was more important than the relationship itself, more important than me or anything that mattered to me, more important than anything in the world....

No, I did not go thru that. But I do know some of my friends both male and female have. I think that a person that is going thru that, should put a stop to it from the very get go, even if it means breaking up right away. Whatcha think Lori? flowerforyou

Is the pain and intensity of a heartache dependant on the other person's motives? I think not, still feels the same.brokenheart

Yeah, that was a huge factor. They wanted what they wanted, and to hell with anything else.

But I think there was a certain amount of inertia and unwillingness to consider any alternatives to the agendas at work as well....
