I prefer to not think about ex's once they've become ex's. Sure they pop up in the memory but I don't put a lot of thought into them. I don't want anything bad to happen to them but if I was really concerned about them I'd have probably done more to ensure they didn't become ex's.

I'm pretty sure I did all I could to keep the relationship going. I wasn't perfect, but I tried pretty damn hard.

It's not so black and white, though.

Also, not being into serial monogamy myself, the relationships I have had had real meaning, and you don't just one day say "eh, guess I never really loved him in the first place. Sayonara, sucker. NEXT." (Not saying YOU...just saying I see a lot of that.)

The most painful breakup is one in which you love the person, but there are reasons, that cannot be easily explained away, that the relationship falters.
