Where would you be now if you were with your ex?

Just a conversation we were having at work earlier discussing what we think our lives would be like if we had stayed with previous partners.
My last ex boyfriend is about 28/29 and lives with his parents. When we were dating he was unemployed, had no ambition and stayed up all night playing computer games and chatting to his mates. His goal in lofe was either to marry a rich woman or have a baby and get a flat.
Had i stayed with him theres a high chance id have ended up pregnant and probably be living in a flat raising kids while hes asleep all day.
My previous boyfriend is 25 and shares a room with his younger brother. He works but spends all his money on his car/phone/gadgets/pubs and clubs etc. he relies on his mum to do his cooking, cleaning and washing and it happy to stay at home forever.
Had i stayed with him i probably wouldnt have found a job which paid enough to pay the rent on a place of our own so i would probably still be with my parents and only see him once or twice a week.
Of course im looking at it from a skewed perspective but its quite scary when you think of how differently your life could have been based on the choices you once made.

Randomly nearly 2 years later I get pestered with abusive phone calls by him, then like the coward he was retracted all of it with apologies, and asked me to meet with him. Stupidly I did and he turned out to be the same bully he always was, with one difference. He was addicted to crystal meth. It was a really sad site for me because he was once quite attractive and had a nice, toned body. When I saw him last year he was thinner than a stick, he was wearing worn and old clothes. It was really sad.
So I'm very relieved I never chose to live that life.
My last ex boyfriend I actually still have a love for, but I don't think it would work out long term. But it was good while it lasted and we split at the right time. I really dug him as my man at the time though
Lol.
Anyway, I have no clue.
Nor did I
-expresses jealousy-
My ex is slightly nuts ("smart, sexy sane, choose two" I tend to go for smart and sexy*...) and was pregnant at the time. At some point between us not speaking for a couple of weeks and her splitting up with me by email she had either a miscarriage or an abortion (she wasn't clear which) and she said she never wanted to speak to me again. She may or may not now be with a woman.
*Although in this girl's case the latter could maybe be argued.
Until you saddle yourselves with a a couple of kids and a mortgage on an over priced house that is.
Basically your just another slave to the machine, with a few happy memory's in between, oh, and then you die.
Don't you just love the innocents !!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:
I'd probably be living in Texas.
Well considering we both have penises I don't think I need to worry about kids
:eek: Me too with my ex husband. The pluses ,I would be very rich and have expensive clothes, the cons, I wouldn't be with someone I could talk to 24/7. I would constantly be on eggs waiting for the next blow up
Let people be nuts so long as they do not get you to be nuts also, I tend to find that liars try to get you that way, they weave so many lies that you end up questioning your own sanity!!!
Grab your life and enjoy is my advice and don't believe all that is told to you..............and always open letters when they've shoved off
Well done you
Sounds like a plan. Luckily in my case we weren't living together.
I am breathing a sigh of relief for you
I'm having so much fun opening letters that do not belong to me....not good I know but I feel so justified
*slopes off*
They were one of the happy memories !!!,
Thank you
