Would you live with an ex?

[Stainboy]

It says a lot to me about a potential partner when I see how they interact with Shaun, and also with my ex fiancee, who's also one of my best friends, and my tattooist.

 

There's not many people who would be able to cope with the fact that I get pretty much semi naked in front of my ex on a regular basis for measure ups, design working etc etc etc and its part of the reason I'm in such a good relationship now.

 

Looks like I'll be performing "CJ Tests" then!. I have a couple other close female friends but because they won't be as local (Leeds and Newcastle) it's not going to be so much a problem.

 

Nudity is another thing, other people don't often feel the same as me on this but as soon as someone's seen me naked they have a lifetime pass for it, not that anyone's gonna be desperate for that privaledge When I live with CJ I'll have no trouble getting changed in front of her or her seeing me onroute between bathroom and bedroom, god she can even come in while I'm in the bath or on the toilet if she wants. She's not as free on that as I am but she said she'd be more comfortable changing in front of me than someone else.

 

If I start to see someone though then I'm happy to hide myself if it makes my new partner uncomfortable, I kinda feel like who I go out with has some say in who else gets to see my body.

 

Sounds like you've found the right guy there, some guys wouldn't even want you getting tattoos on your arm from your ex.

The only way I could live in the same house as my ex, is if they were in an urn. ⚰️ 😄

I don't understand the question. Am I missing something? Why would you want to live with an ex? 

 

Surely the reason he/she is an ex is because you couldn't live with them?

Just been looking though the forum and came across this and yes I agree with you on this Anna B they are a ex for a good reason...

 

I haven’t and could never wrap my head around why certain men and women choose to remind friends with their ex even when they are seeing someone new it’s absolutely crazy !!!....

 

I for one would never put up with that from any women and would rather be on my own until I found a woman who thinks like me than put up with that !!!!!....

 

You should only fall in love once in your life not every 5 mins and if you find true love you should cherish that together for the rest of your life !!!!.....

Why has someone drug this 12 year old thread up from the dead?

 l lived with my ex-husband as he didn't have anywhere to live at the time,  I was  helping him out,  the children were young and he wasn't violent towards me,  just ungrateful.

I guess they could both hate each other, so it would be a bad idea.

One could like the other, in which case its a bad idea.

They could both still like each other, in which case one of them is probably delusional.

Perhaps the person digging up the thread intended to start a new thread and realised there was already an existing thread on a topic they wanted to start a  new thread about.

 

Regarding the actual topic, I think  there are good reasons under certain circumstances for someone to live with an ex partner. The phrase "The better the devil you know" spring to mind.

 

Did you read the post?

 

They didn't exactly have much to say

[geared]

Sure whatever, perhaps you should put that phrase into action yourself.
