  1. This is where you're actually on the wrong track. The day may come where she wants you back (or it may not), but you need to reach a point where it's just not particularly important to you one way or the other. Indifference is a pretty pleasant feeling. But as long as you harbor some quest to turn the tables, she still has the upper hand.
  2. How on earth could you know what sex acts they've done? And, jeez, man, why weren't you getting any head?
  3. A'ight, so when those two have an argument, how do you keep that stuff from coming back up? I mean, if I had been banging the nanny, I don't think that'd ever quite go away, nah sayin'?
  4. Yeah, so am I. Some of the least-impressive critical thinkers I ever met were in graduate school. I think everyone understands full well that time and energy are limited resources that have to be applied thoughtfully; everyone implicitly recognizes the concept of "opportunity cost" whether they use that academic term or not. But when you invoke references to "lotteries" and "lighting strikes" to support the idea resource allocation, you actually undermine the perfectly valid point you're trying to make.
  5. OK, really bad analogy (not that it's the first time I've seen it here). The odds against most reconciliations may be relatively long (depends on the circumstances), but they're nothing like that long. I know plenty of people who have reunited with exes (I've done it myself), but I still don't know any lottery winners or anyone who has been struck by lightning. Anyone who makes that comparison needs to take a statistics class.
  6. Er, I dunno if any of that wackiness qualifies as "getting back together."
  7. Still, it woulda been cool if you'd told us again about how you trashed his apartment.
  8. Every situation is different, so there's no definitive guide. "NC" is a good start in the early days, but you have to read the situation on its own merits. (There are some good advice threads on what not to do, though, and maybe someone will post a few links.) Meanwhile, forget about the idea that "women don't reconsider 99 percent of the time." I know personally that that's nonsense.
  9. Not true. My first college girlfriend left me for another guy, and, a year and a half later -- when she was the furthest thing from my mind -- she called me out of nowhere and the reconciliation began. We were actually much happier the second time around. There are no "musts" and no generalizations that can be applied to everyone.
  10. Yeah, of course. My first college girlfriend left me for another guy, and about 18 months later she resumed contact. A few months after that, when we were actually back together, she spent half her time telling me what a Neanderthal the guy was. (Er, I coulda told her that from Day One.
  11. I don't know how much we can compare our lives to those of Pink and some motocross boy, but make note that it took them more than a year to reconcile. I wish 'em well.
  12. As I recall, John later quipped, "The separation just didn't work out."
  13. Yup, but you'd think they'd have enough sense to understand the context. Anyway, I've gotten back together with all of my exes in one way or another, and we always eventually split amicably. Never once did it end "forever on the spot." A friend of mine broke up with his long-time girlfriend, and they were apart for about three years. Now they're married with two daughters.
