Dating: I’m NOT your ex!
Full disclosure: I just received the coolest book about men to review. I mean, it is literally chocked full of revealing things about the male mind – appropriately titled, “WTF are Men Thinking?”
Admittedly, the title alone won me over. I couldn’t wait to dig in to get a glimpse of what 250,000 men think on topics that women are curious about. One question that struck a nerve with me almost instantly: “Does he compare me to her?”.
Now, listen fellas. Here is my PSA: A lot of women have to deal with their own insecurities from time to time. If you constantly compare us to your last chick or bring up your first wife, there will be problems.
Have you ever had this issue? If someone compares you to their ex, does that mean they are still in love with them?
Is it natural to compare your last relationship? When do you think it is appropriate to do so, and in what context?

Honestly Diva, I’ve done it, but subconsciously. I think though, you have to fairly be open to giving the next love an chance. If not, that could be the detriment of something potentially great! Like I days, I’ve done it in the post, but learned letting go means all the way.
So, I get home and I’m tired, my kid asked if she could stay with my sister and kids another night since apparently they were having a few kits over. Soooo, I seized the moment! I invited him over to stay the night with me
I spontaneously dropped it on him. 
He cooked for me, I sat in with him and we talked. Y’all know I don’t drink. Buddy brought wine….lol After dinner, ummmm we enjoyed a nice adult evening……and night!!! Gotta admit it was GREAT!!! I SEIZED THE MOMENT!! 
Mayne, I can’t remember the last time I had such a memorable night.
That’s all I’ll ever tell….lol Knocked me the heck over!
I truly hope y’all have a fantab day!!! I’m certain I will….lololol

I once dropped by at a mutual friend’s house and the wife made awesome dinner. When I got home I went to elaborate lengths,explaining what the other woman cooked and how and boy!,how I enjoyed that meal.
Queen was pissed and just retired to bed early leaving me in the living room,holding the remote.
Women can be funny sometimes.
So… talking of exes or another woman’s un-gutter strengths is a No No.
Woman like flattery and compliments and All the good things better be bout her!

That’s a big no no. I don’t want to hear about your ex and how she did this that and the other. Any guy who harps on and on about an ex still has feeling for her imo. I would tread very very lightly with that guy. It’s a recipe for resentment and insecurities.

on topic, I think we all make comparisons whether or not we verbalize said comparisons. we may not even be comparing directly so much as simply noticing differences. it’s called paying attention. anyone who is always straight griping about the ex did this better or the ex had that needs to grow up.
exiled – that’s too funny. I could just hear queen telling you “well go over there and ask so and so to cook for you”. lol.

Morning All!
I’ve been in situations where a dude really over did it talking about the ex and it made me uncomfortable. Whether it’s complaining about the ex or complimenting something they did. There is nowhere to go with a situation like that except the door. And yes, there is a very thin line between love and hate. Two that complained about their ex the most to me went back to them!
Making comparisons out loud is always wrong, but be careful about those that go on in your head too. You would be surprised at how your thoughts can manifest themselves for others to see no matter how hard you try to hide it.
Exiled – I have actually been where Queen was in that situation. If it’s something you take pride in doing well, having your spouse/SO gush on and on about how someone else did it better can hurt. A simple “It was good seeing Joe again & his wife put out a nice spread. It was a nice evening” would have sufficed. I’m not so insecure I need 24/7 reassurance and I recognize that no matter how good I might be at something there is someone out there that can do it better. But I am the superstar in my own home.

I think it is natural to compare some. It may be good if you compare (to yourself) how much better the new one is over the last one!
In response to Jeff’s comment, there are some things that were so hurtful in the past that we do not want to deal with it again. With recent ex, he did something one time that flashed me back to what an old ex would do that would hurt me. I immediately brought it up to him and he didn’t do it again (well, not for a while anyways). I think you should respect each other in that aspect.

If I’ve been compared to an ex, I’m not aware of it. Haven’t had many bfs and my ex-husband never said anything to me about this ex. Different folk roll different ways. If you feel the need to compare to your ex, then go back to your ex.

honestly, i could listen to a dude talk about his ex all day long. doesn’t phase me. i am who i am and i’m tickled pink about it. no diff than letting him talk about his bff, his boss or his dog.
but if it turns out his got unresolved issues with the ex … ciao! no hard feelings.
now jeff’s post brings up a good point. i am guilty of the “um. this feels familiar in a very bad way” comparison. can’t help it. i’ve learned to recognize what does NOT work for me, and i avoid it straight away. i believe it saves us both time and trouble in the long run.

It’s a trip how time tends to fade the bad memories and only the good ones remain vivid. Before me, wifey dated a high profile dope boy. Years ago, we were overdue for a vacation, her misguided way of reminding of that was to tell me about the trips she and her ex used to take and the things he bought her. I’m like, ”yeah, he gave you all that, but he didn’t give you his last name. And isn’t that the dude you said kicked you in the stomach during an argument. And now you have the nerve to mention this mufukka in my presence like he was Mr. Wonderful!” Needless to say that never happened again. He got murdered a few years back. We flew back home to attend the funeral. She went…..I didn’t.

Bluz – Howdy doody chica…
On topic: When we were cordial, my ex would tell me how he always compared other chicks he dated to me. But anyhoo, i think it’s natural to make comparisons of people from your past to those you currently date – IN YOUR OWN MIND. However, I think it’s rather rude to bring it up to your current SO. I would surely feel some kind of way about my dude constantly bringing up his ex. Because if she is sooo great and i’m merely occupying her shadow, then you need to go be with her ass. I don’t want to be your ‘Get over my Ex’ girl, transition girl, stepping stone girl etc…
Now the beau and I have had a converstation in general about our exes or what not and he is basically the total opposite of my ex i.e More responsible, more honest, more clean & tidy, more self-sufficient and no need to be running the streets all the time.

I was once compared to an ex, but in a good way. Either way, that is not something that is harped upon. In the beginning I talked about my ex more, only because he went apeshit and tried to make my life hell once he found out I was dating someone. At this point, I try not to mention him at all, except where my son is concerned.
Have a great day all!

Now, it was kind of weird when I started “seeing” Mags (for that whole week or so)…he was friends with the ex and we did talk about how ex treated me and how I felt stupid because I let it all happen, but I learned that I won’t let it happen again.
Now…if Mags didn’t know ex, I would NEVER have talked about him in any way. Just like any future guy I date…there is no need to bring up the past.

Morning all. Blog monster seems to have eaten my post. I have been compared to a ex once, but in a good way. In the beginning, I talked more about my ex, but only because he went completely batsh!# and tried to make my life hell once he found out I started dating someone. Now, he only comes up in the context of my son. Even then, if I send him one email, he will counter with ten, most of which I ignore. I do not interfere with him and his mistress and asked him not to interfere in my life. When he did try to interfere, it made for some unpleasant conversation, so I try to avoid mentioning him and definitely do not compare. Two different people; different life cycles.

Slim – As I alluded to earlier, I think you have to watch the “in your mind” stuff too. It really can affect what goes on on the outside if you’re not careful. In the past, I’ve been so caught up with my comparison thoughts, I could not be in the “moment” and really take in the new person and what he had to offer. In reverse, I’ve had guys kind of “drift off” and I know they are probably thinking about their ex, in fact I’ve asked a few.
I know for me, I knew I was really really over someone when I didn’t find myself making comparisons all the time in my head when I was with the new person. In fact, I rarely thought about the ex unless someone else brought them up. I didn’t wish them bad or anything. I just didn’t think about them anymore.
It can take awhile to get to that level in your head, I admit.

Even if the beau and I did something or went to the same restaurant etc, all that matters is OUR experience doing it together. I suppose there was some sort of want from the beau to experience totally new things together, which we have also done. But come on now, i don’t expect us not to go somewhere he took his ex before.

Ok…getting O/T a little early. A friend of mine who lives in NOLA, has been married for many years. She also happens to be the sister of my close friend who passed away in March. Anyway…about a month and a half ago, she found out that he has been cheating on her. She’s also recently started abusing prescription meds to deal with everything. Her husband has been very blatent with the cheating…taking this woman out to dinner in public…rubbing her nose in it. So…last night, he apparently brought the other woman to their house and told my friend that he is leaving her for good and doesn’t want to work things out. How can someone be so cruel?!?!?! I just feel for her and since she’s so far away, there is nothing I can do for her…

She’s been pretty messed up since her brother died in March and I think she’s very vulnerable now. She wants to leave the house at this point, but a lawyer friend told her not to because it could be viewed as her abandoning the property. My heart is breaking for her. She did nothing to him for him to treat her this way

disco – I bet if you took a poll of my exes they would probably say the same about me. I didn’t talk much about other men to them and they didn’t need to know everything anyway. I was not being evasive, I just not only talked the talk but walked it too. I didn’t want to hear about their exes and unless it was something vital I needed to know about, they didn’t need to tell me.
One of my best friends, on the other hand, learned the hard way. Her past was one she was not proud of and she shared too much too soon unnecessarily with men she dated. Notice I said “dated”, nothing long-term.

S/H – She’s not really leaning on me at this point. Just kind of keeping me up to date on everything. To make it worse…she does have the power to take him down. He is a dentist and has apparently been writing prescriptions for narcotics to his mistress and she’s not a patient of his. He got in trouble a few years ago for writing out bogus rx’s and he went to rehab and cleaned up. Now, this stuff is starting again. I just hope she can be strong enough to handle her stuff and take care of herself. Maybe change the locks to the house to prevent him from coming in…

I remember living with this man (almost a year) who up one day told me he was going back to Alabama and get the mother of his children and we would all be living together. I told him not on my watch. He went. I hired a moving company and moved everything out of that house. I left him one plate, one fork, one knife and 2 glasses and one plastic chair. I even took the fridge. He quickly found out he was messing with the wrong head B…..!

So many comments, not enough time.
Bluz~ I always find it funny that women who will put up with much crap in their own lives will cut a beyotch quick if something goes wrong in one of their friend’s lives.
Jeff~ Recognize and respect your feelings? Yes. Let you consantly bring up some isht your ex did to decide how I should behave? Negative, ghostrider! Everyone has buttons that are created by the situations that they have endured. Some are major (i.e. a woman who is “face-shy” because the ex hit on her) and some are minor (i.e. it annoys me when you watch Snapped because my ex did it all the time) Know what to bring up and what to let go. But if the ghost of your ex is sleeping in between us every night, eventually Imma leave you two to it. IJS.

“Is it natural to compare your last relationship?”
Men are different from women when it comes to comparing relationships. For example women are emotional and will remember the little things as well as the bad things especially if the relationship was abusive. On the other hand men have a short memory unless they were emotionally damaged with little or no experience dealing with women. We call these men types (hen-pecked or pussycat whipped) which means he is physically and mentally under the control of a woman and he can not let go.
As a basic rule I always “leave the past in the past” and give my new woman a chance to make her own mistakes without measuring her success against someone else’s failures. I hope she will treat me the same way.

Leggs/Slim – What kills me is a dude saying or doing something disrespectful, and when their woman has a strong reaction to it, then she’s “insecure”!

I’ve been watching porn since it was on Sony Betamax, pre VHS and pre Direct TV, internet and DVD’s. Back then you had to get your porn the old fashion way. Go to the Adult video store (with the big XXX sign on the front), park in the back at night with the other perverts, walk in quickly with your head down, and hope nobody recognized you. When wifey and I started dating, she let me know she liked to watch flicks too. One day she took me to this porn superstore. This was like the Walmart of porn. Typically, I would be embarrassed and try to get in and out. She had me in there for an hour. She was leisurely perusing the new arrivals, reading the back of the boxes like we were in a dayum library. The chick behind the counter new her by name and said “your pre-order of Freak ho’s and flows and black cheerleader search arrived yesterday.” (No bullsh&t, I remember thinking to myself at that moment, this chick is interesting). Over the years, we have become such porn connoisseurs, when we watch we critique the lighting, camera angles and evaluate performances like we’re Siskel and Ebert. I believe our mutual appreciation for the art form was a direct contributor to us making three babies in our first four years of marriage.

Well, (chiming back in after a meeting) I see Slim has clarified the Skin-A-Max reference, but if you’re really hankering for porn and don’t want to pay, check out http://www.xtube.com.
They have some ameteurs on there that can make me blush and whatever your fetish, they have it covered.
Or so I’ve heard…

Slim, speaking of temptation, do you watch Private Practice? I know Leggs does. Anyway, last week Sheldon the psychiatrist had a patient come in that was contemplating suicide. Sheldon was trying to get to the bottom of why. The guy started talking about this lady he used to see at a coffee shop all the time that was pretty and seemed nice. He started talking to her when he saw her and finally asked her out and she accepted. One thing led to another and they were about to get busy. He said she was beautiful and she got naked and he felt nothing. The only way he could get off was to think about Emma. Sheldon said that’s not a big deal to fantasize about another woman. Problem was, Emma was not a woman, she was 7 years old!! He said he had never acted on his feelings, but it was getting harder and the only way to prevent it was to kill himself!!! Sheldon did not want him to kill himself, but he told him if he didn’t get help to deal with it, his mind may start to trick him and tell him it’s okay to go ahead and act on it. It was so SICK!!!

Leggs~ I think that what he is saying is that her younger sister is beautiful and the Queen thinks so too therefore she shouldn’t be insulted that he compares her to the younger sis. That being said, even though I see his point (I wouldn’t want to be compared to an ugly woman) I would still find it disrespectful if my S/O compared me to my sister. I would be thinking “Then why didn’t you go after her instead of me? Or am I sloppy seconds?!?”

I was enjoying my afternoon coffee reading that!
Speaking of this sign here: ! … I’m so used to using it here that I wrote what was considered a testy response to some client program manager here that my own program mger asked me to read my email back to myself and see if I wasn’t testy…well I told him that was his opinion
this is what I said,’forget it Mary,the issue is closed!
I had told the heifer two times that the issue I was discussing with client resource was not impacting progress. And she says ’so why are u contacting him?’
I then send her that kick in the ass email.

Has anyone here seen the video about the Cleveland bus driver upper cutting a female teenager? The girl was cussing and acting big and bad and this dude cold cocked her behind and then threw her and her belongings off the bus. Some of the passengers were laughing, while others started cussing him out. He felt she wanted to act like a bad ass man so he treated her like one. Man, that was cold.

Common?
When I said’compare ‘ I didn’t mean looks..
Actually I compare ways..behaviors characteristics etc
I’m not sure why looks came in
She is a great cook tho(the sister), less abrasive..u could say a push over a Lil on the quieter side. Shorter than Queen but I think proly more gutter…looking at the folks she has bedded etc duration of knowing them/dating etc
Common just for u: looking at her resume I thought I had a shot!

On the subject of hitting a woman, I got a call a few years ago from one my potnahs from childhood asking if I heard about Bob, a mutual friend of ours who is an old school, hood hard, no punk in him dude, like all the men I grew up with. He told me that Bob got his fronts knocked out. I didn’t comprehend. I’m like, “is that some new slang”. He went on to say it’s not slang, he got in a fight with that chick he mess with and she literally punched him in the mouth and knocked several of his front teeth out. He said the man had to get about five stacks of dental work. I stopped by to see him last time I was home, I didn’t metion it, but I couldn’t help looking at his pearly white, perfectly aligned newly purchased grill. I would never hit a lady, but I’ll whup b*tch azz. You take a female lightly if you want to…you’ll f&ckaround and find your sh&t split to the white meat.
