I wouldn’t enter into a relationship with someone who still has major issues with or is carrying a torch for his/her ex. Even if it is a torch of bile, it is still a torch.

Also, we turn off our cell phones in a movie theater for the movie going pleasure of of ourselves and others. Shouldn’t the bedroom during sex be given the same respect?

Love, love, love the football picks! Dude, you’re so funny!

And I agree with you, except that I think Dallas will win that game pretty easiy (even despite Tony Romo)

If the dating thing doesn’t end up being lucrative enough for you, there’s always the vegas sportsbooks

I would say you should be suspicious, not have a sweet talk with your sweetie

i didnt take it as seriously as the girls who commented already. i figured you were trying to put a little humor on an awkward situation.

BUT — I think the beginning of the blog misses a major issue. In terms of someone’s ex, why is your partner having any ongoing involvement with them even if the ex still wants it?? If you’re in a new relationship, then you need to stop entertaining phone calls and emails etc from your ex.

Now, don’t get me wrong, if you at some point become friends with an ex — just friends — then that’s another thing. But here we seem to be talking about an ex who still wants to get back together. In that case it is your job to keep your ex out of your bedroom by turning off your phone at 1:00 am when you’re about to have sex AND, more importantly, by not being sucked into their drama.

the ex thing is tricky though…how much do you really want to hear about how good your partner’s sex life used to be or how in love they used to be with someone else?

is it really productive (or is it more destructive) to recount the entirety of your old relationships with your current partner?
