Sometimes it's just easier to move on when you remind yourself that the relationship wasn't perfect (especially when you feel like the ex never really completely knew you) and you focus on the bad rather than the good. It's not to say that "the One" won't share some of these "bad" qualities, but for now, you're remembering the bad to help you move on. <BR/><BR/>I hope you feel like this relationship is completely behind you soon--I know how hard it can feel.

As for the cologne thing, I am very sensitive to smell and love love love it when a man wears a nice cologne. I mentioned this to Ex David more than once, and he seemed open to the idea, but it didn't go anywhere. I mean, I don't particularly like lingerie, but I'll wear it if it's a turn-on for the guy. Cologne is my male lingerie. I have made out with guys that weren't that good-looking because they smelled incredible. It's actually a big thing for me. I know there's the whole argument of whether cologne masks the body's natural pheromones, but I think for me certain scents enhance them.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234333432020422776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1160165602225348702006-10-06T16:13:00.000-04:002006-10-06T16:13:00.000-04:00i wonder if it is better or worse that the flaws w...i wonder if it is better or worse that the flaws were so mundane.<BR/><BR/>i have never dated a single person who wore cologne. i dated one person who, i guess thanks to a super combination of phermones and deoderant, smelled fantastic, but that's been it. the rest of the people i've been with have not provided any sort of olfactory excitement.<BR/><BR/>mr. clarissa sometimes wears incense oil, but that is pretty rare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1160164818589630712006-10-06T16:00:00.000-04:002006-10-06T16:00:00.000-04:00You reminded me that NotRoger has something of min...You reminded me that NotRoger has something of mine still...dammit!NotCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141505246848580782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1160164602175227832006-10-06T15:56:00.000-04:002006-10-06T15:56:00.000-04:00Doc,He was nice and normal.

It was less dynamic when I was in a relationship and happy, though I still tried to keep it interesting.

And there were bigger issues with Ex David, which I discussed in the post mortem. This post was my way of venting all those mundane things and taking a moment to appreciate the fact that I no longer have to deal with them. Silver lining and all that.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234333432020422776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1160163174218710512006-10-06T15:32:00.000-04:002006-10-06T15:32:00.000-04:00I know that it makes you feel better to focus on t...I know that it makes you feel better to focus on the negative aspects of an ex to help you get over them, and you certainly had alot of things listed which didn't jive well with you, so I think you made the right decision about breaking up. I did think, though, that the vast majority of things which you listed were really quite mundane. If you are holding out for the perfect (or even near perfect) man, you certainly won't find him. There will always be characteristics in your partner that you would like to live without and that you find a bit of a turnoff- my husband is frustrated with me that I'm not more careful with my money, while I wish he didn't use the computer in the evening so much. I guess you know when you're in love because you can't live without the lovely good traits, and you learn to accept the not-so-good ones. At any rate, good luck finding that special man that at least fulfills all the important needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20530625.post-1160158223671003442006-10-06T14:10:00.000-04:002006-10-06T14:10:00.000-04:00Sandra Dee,I usually don't like to focus on the ne...Sandra Dee,<BR/>I usually don't like to focus on the negative, but in this case it was very cathartic!<BR/><BR/>Gregarious,<BR/>I'm sorry about your divorce; it must be a difficult time for you.
