When it does happen I try to keep the thoughts brief and only think of the happy stuff, there's no sense reliving the bad stuff.
op commented on Jan 26 13 at 1:41 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEi'm curious because i've heard that it's much easier for me to compartmentalize than women.
323 commented on Jan 26 13 at 1:47 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEI think, man or woman, it depends on the person. Some people like to revisit the past and some don't.
Rc commented on Jan 26 13 at 2:20 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEI'm a man and think about a few people every once in a while but it takes something to trigger it-a song, passing a restaurant, etc. Everybody is different. But I do have a really good memory and could recall everything that happened if I wanted to.
tru commented on Jan 26 13 at 2:58 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEFairly often but I don't maintain the thoughts for long. Nor do I hold any flame for them anymore.

206 commented on Jan 26 13 at 5:27 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEPersonally I think men do a better job of "compartmentalizing" their lives. When they are done with the particular box they close the lid and don't open it again. Of course that theory doesn't explain why about 70% of my exes always come back around talkin bout how they didn't appreciate me when they had me. ?????
ST commented on Jan 26 13 at 6:41 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEMost of them NEVER, a few of them a lot. I still think about “the one that got away” and that was 20 years ago. But I barely ever think of my ex-wife or my last gf so it really depends.
fjh commented on Jan 26 13 at 7:23 pm FLAG FOR ABUSEI ended my marriage because my ex-wife just wouldn't accept my 17 yr old AWESOME daughter from my first marriage. Ex NEVER hugged her, NEVER, in over 8 years. Ending it was a no brainer. But ex and I got along in other areas and sometimes I miss that. Not ready to date yet, but there's always pluses and minuses.
