I try not to think of them but sometimes I'll see something or be somewhere or hear a song that reminds me of and makes me think about one of them. 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.

i'm curious because i've heard that it's much easier for me to compartmentalize than women.

I think, man or woman, it depends on the person. Some people like to revisit the past and some don't.

I'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.

Fairly often but I don't maintain the thoughts for long. Nor do I hold any flame for them anymore.

Personally 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. ?????

Most 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.

I 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.
