Do you have any fond memories of your Ex? Did he or she make you laugh?

At least once a month, I remember my ex who was so proud of his truck--men just LOVE big trucks!--put a tonneau (Tah-no) cover on it. I had never seen the word and only heard him pronounce it. A Tonneau cover lies flat across the bed of a pickup and locks for security.
Well, I heard him say it a couple of times but I heard "Tonto cover" so I began referring to it as a Tonto. One day he just busted out laughing and said, "Honey, it's a Tah-no cover, there's no Indian inside it!" and we just laughed and laughed!
My ex had a good sense of humor if it didn't have to do with himself. He was very funny and that's one reason I fell in love with him.
Do you have any good memories of your ex? After 3 years, I'm reaching the point where I can laugh more than cry. What are some of the moments that you treasure or laugh about with your ex husband or wife?

Well, It's ex boyfriend for me... Eventhough I have another boyfriend now. I am still in contact with my ex, because we work for the same company. We haven't talked to each other for quite some time, but now we're okay again... My fondest memory of him, is whenever he sings for me.. He has a great voice, and he's very talented with the guitar.. So I always ask him to sing some songs for me. My favorite is, 'If I keep my Heart out of sight'.

That is such a sweet memory! In your old age your grandchildren might ask you if you had boyfriends and you can share this romantic memory with them. That's such a nice thing to be able to remember and enjoy.

That is so sweet! I love hearing stories like this! Sometimes we meet the love of our life the first one we connect with and don't have to look further. I wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness together.

Hi dragon54u,
Every people do not have the ability of sense of humor. But only a few people blessed with the same. It is quite difficult to make the people laugh and I think those who can do the same will well remembered by others. The same is the case with you too.
I don’t have an ex and nothing similar experience to share.

You're right, a sense of humor is a special thing and one to be prized. I hope that when you do meet someone, they are the one for you and never become and "ex"!

I do. But I'd rather not remember. Anyway, referring to your memory there, I tried pronouncing and got it as Ton neeeuw lol...so it's Tah-no..
It's always fun when we have memories of those great times. I did too; and they are all part of my memory safely tucked away. I tend to get a bit sentimental, but these funny memories can made me smile thinking about it too..

I get very sentimental sometimes. There was a lot of hurt during my marriage and I hope that while I learn from these, I can remember the good, too. I do know one thing--I'm done with men, they're no good for me. I know there are good ones but I'm incapable of choosing those that I could have a good relationship with. That's my own failing, not theirs, so I'll quit while I'm ahead!

Unless you change your mind someday, actually it's not bad being single, after all. There can be moments that after being independent for quite some time, it's getting to be fun. There's certainly nothing wrong in being single and enjoying every moment of it. I'm with you on this..

I don't have any similar incidents to share with Mylotters. But,I would like to talk about one of my friends. He is my former colleague and he used to have the seat next to me in office. We used to go together for breaks along with our team of 8. He is a very funny person who makes all the people laugh by the way he talks. If some other person talk the same thing, nobody will laugh. Good humor sens is god's gift.

Yes, a sense of humor is a real gift and laughter is God's way of making our lives bearable. Your friend is very blessed and so are you and your coworkers to have him in your lives.

Yes she made me laugh but remembering her just made me sad. I miss those times. I miss her too. I hope we can still be friends but she won't make friends with me. She said we'll never be friends cause she will love me forever as her one true love. I don't understand that. Oh well, this is life and I'm happy with my current girlfriend now. My time with my ex is fun but remembering those times is sad.

Someday it won't be so sad, time has a way of taking the sharp edges off.
That is strange that she will love you forever but you are apart. I hope you both find happiness but it looks as if you have some unfinished business if you still want to be friends with her. Don't worry, it will probably turn out fine.

It's really strange when she said that. I want her to move on and it's seems it's impossible for her. I already moved on with my life without her. I just want her to be my friend cause I don't her to think that we can still be together again. I wish her all the best.

Of course my ex had some good points and we had some good times. We were on friendly terms even after the divorce, for the most part. There was pain and sadness, too, but you have to work past that and not let it rule you.
I miss going on our weekend trips on the spur of the moment. He liked to drive and enjoyed it so I could sit back and enjoy the scenery. We saw some wonderful country and had some good experiences.
One thing he will never live down is when he was telling my sister about a drive through a rainy afternoon and there were lots of frogs hopping onto the road. He told her there were "hogs fropping" and we all busted out laughing. It took a minute before he even realized what he said, but he was always good natured about things like that.

Oh, that must have been hilarious, "hogs fropping"!! How blessed you both are to have a friendly divorce, mine was very nasty and painful. I'm glad I've reached the point of enjoying some memories of him. Your ex sounds like a very nice person!

Dear dragon54u,
I really love this topic of this discussion. I was not much into this but I have been in love with my ex-girl friend's humorous talk. I was deeply into her voice with same frequency of thoughts she has. Once her mom was sweeping outside her house and I was talking to her on the cellphone. Her mom was fat and she was too humorous. I was busted out laughing when she said, 'I see an elephant sweeping my little house'. .. That was a hilarious talk and her voice and mannerism on that talk made me to laugh out loud... Latter part was not so good...
Cheers... Have a joyful day always.....

Good and funny memories are so precious and really make our life joyous! I hope to forget most of the bad things eventually. My ex is remarried and he's not all that happy and that causes me some pain, too. I'm glad that I can remember some good times with him and I'm glad that you can laugh at your own memories of your ex. Hold onto those. Forget the bad times, but learn from them for future relationships.

hi dragon, sadness is the answer when i think about my ex. actually he was too good to me when we were a couple, and i laughed when i thought about him. but he parted with me for another girl no matter what i said to him. i have to admit that i am a little bit hate him when i think about him, but i could not help thinking about him everyday.

That is the way is was for me the first two years after my divorce, I couldn't stop thinking of him and agonizing over what I should or should not have done. But I eventually realized that it was inevitable that he should leave us and nothing I did could have changed it. There comes a point when you accept that it happened and you begin to move on. That's when you can laugh at things and the bad memories start to fade. I hope you can laugh and cherish good memories someday.

It's a shame that the ending of a marriage can be so bitter. I hear of all these "friendly" divorces and I envy them.
