Ever wonder what an ex-lover/husband/wife is doing on New Year's?

[liberalhistorian]

I'm currently unattached, but have had great times in the past with boyfriends and a fiance on New Year's Eve and Day. The relationships may have eventually ended, some badly, but the memories of good times, including on New Year's Eve, remain, especially since they were filled with such promise for the future.

Often on New Year's I wonder what they are doing and if they ever think of our past good times on New Year's. Some I used to stay in touch with and they'd sometimes call on NY, but that's not the case anymore (I know a couple of them are married now, don't know what happened to the others). Does anyone else ever wonder about exes on New Year's, and think about past NYE with them?

1. Nope, couldn't care less

I had a few good times, but 8 years ago married a wonderful woman, and forgot all about them. Unfortunately, we had plans this week-end, but she has the flu really bad. So, I'm playing doctor.

6. Good for you!

A lot of husbands I know don't really care if their wives are sick, to them it's a major inconvenience. And I think it does have something to do with being married, because then you have no reason to remember past relationships or wonder what they're doing now.

[NightTrain]

2. No.

Next question!

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Every New Year's Day, I hope my ex-husband is...

pushing up daisies! :evilgrin:

[liberalhistorian]

4. LOL!

Uh-oh, now that's not very nice or liberal at all! Although I certainly do understand the sentiment.

[graywarrior]

5. My ex married a nazi princess. His life is hell

[liberalhistorian]

10. Well, I guess you can

enjoy some revenge, then, lol! I know I would.

[NewJeffCT]

33. gee, I didn't know my ex-wife had gotten remarried

just kidding. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

7. Yep...had a thought of a certain someone this year.

I hope she's well, despite her decision to go off with another guy instead of me. We all make decisions we regret later. :P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Mostly, no.

But there's one old boyfriend, an upper-middle-class Republican snob, who I hope is now living in a double-wide in someplace like Buttwipe, Texas with a skanky bottle-blond, chain-smoking meth addict girlfriend, and he's unemployed and drinks mostly cheap malt liquor, and I also hope that on New Year's Eve he got picked up again for driving his rusty old pickup under the influence, and his skanky whore girlfriend spent all the money she made at the roadhouse on meth and couldn't make his bail. Happy New Year.

[liberalhistorian]

12. Wow, you certainly

have a good imagination. You should be a writer!

[Left Is Write]

14. Also, he got drunk from Sour Apple Pucker, so he spent the night

puking his guts up in the cell.

(Just though I'd help your fantasy along a little. ;) )

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

9. NO

Just NO.

:evilgrin:

[liberalhistorian]

11. I get the sense that

there's a story behind this, care to share?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. NO...as in "No thank you, but thanks for asking."

:evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

13. Nope.

Not even remotely interested in what they're doing.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

15. Ditto...

On the NO.

[Schema Thing]

16. Oh, I'm sure she's having sex with a handsome celebrity

but I really don't think about it too much.

[Seabiscuit]

18. Nope. Just wish they're all as happy as me and I'm the most miserable

POS on the planet. :)

[0007]

19. When one tires of eating that special recipe one never hungers

for it again. The thought may come but the desire lags behind.

Is this what some call a mind fuck?

[peacefreak]

20. I pretty much know what he's up to

(I hear it from our kid). I'm just very grateful that he's not here!

[WritersBlock]

21. I think mine's become a fundie.

What better fate could I wish upon him?

Oh, I know.. that his wife is one, too!

And since he never does anything without her whip - er, approval...

Life is good.


:evilgrin:

[supernova]

22. No, I don't

He called me over Thanksgiving and left a message after a two year break. I wasn't home. I didn't return the call. I have never encouraged him calling me. I'm only to happy to let him slip off into the horizon. He's bad news all around and I don't want it in my life anymore.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

23. Well you could find out by driving by their place at 2AM and looking in

their window.

KIDDING!

[velvet]

24. yes

I found myself recalling New Year's Day 2000 with my last boyfriend. We had only been together a few months, the tv was showing all the amazing celebrations around the world and we dragged the bed into the loungeroom and had what we called The Fuck of the Century. Unfortunately one of his admirers had given him a yappy little puppy for a xmas present, and we were frequently interrupted. I wonder if that's what she intended? :evilfrown: Sadly the FOTC was the peak of our happiness and our bed soon became a cold and lonely place. We split in '03. My parting words to him: "Sleeping with you is like lying in an open grave." (Alright, I calmed down after that and there was a fairly amicable denouement.)

A fine new man recently walked into my life and we made love for the first time this NYE. An occasion "filled with promise for the future" as you so aptly put it, liberalhistorian, and NYE 2004 will definitely be a memory I'll treasure. Coincidentally my own dog, old and becoming a tad neurotic lately, barked almost continuously from his spot behind the lounge. But we barely noticed. :)

[liberalhistorian]

28. Good for you!

I'm happy that things are working out like that, and it sounds like you're better off without the ex-boyfriend.

[Liberal In Texas]

25. Nope

...could care less.

[B Calm]

26. You are going to drive yourself crazy with jealousies...

[liberalhistorian]

27. Oh no, it's not jealousy

at all, far from it. I wouldn't want to be back together with any of them, there's a reason why we're apart. I'm just curious, that's all.

[reformed_military]

29. I do

I loved her.

She told me she was leaving for 9 months to march across the country to end nuclear proliferation. I told her that I was leaving for the military. Over, fini, next.

I saw her nine months later being arrested on the steps of the DOE.

I miss her.

[newsguyatl]

30. yes, i do wonder

and i DID wonder the other night -- specifically who they were kissing :-(

[CanuckAmok]

31. I know where my ex spent this, our first post-separation New Years:

In US INS custody at Vancouver Int'l Airport, after attempting to cross into the US by providing false information about herself.

How do those people seem to know everything?! ;)

[Zomby Woof]

32. Hell no!

My current situation is excellent, thank you very much. :D :D :D :D

[NewJeffCT]

34. I don't think about my ex on New Year's

I think about her every June 29 - the anniversary of our divorce.

I honestly wish her well, but sometimes I used to quietly snicker when I'd get a call from a creditor looking for her (when she filed for divorce, she said I was lucky she didn't max out all the credit cards... neglecting to mention that she came close!)

[Brewman_Jax]

35. Actually not

truth to tell, the thought didn't cross my mind 'til you asked.

Hmmm, I'll have to start working on having a date for New Year's 2006.

[Guaranteed]

36. Oh, one of them was probably whoring it up.

Cuz that's what she does.

"Loooooosing aaaaaa whoooooole (two) year(s)....."
