Let's Get A Little Philosophical For A Minute....

I was told, a long time ago (by a solicitor of all people which made me immediately suspect the advice) that you should always give at least two years before deciding if you hate someone or not. Wife, lover, employer, best friend - anyone who had betrayed you, fucked you over - give it two years. If you still feel as strongly then maybe you really do hate them.

Wise advice - that I didn't take and made my divorce and moving on much more expensive and much more confrontational that it needed to be.

Time heals all wounds (and conversely, time wounds all heels)

So it's been 25 years and I still hate Thatcher so I feel vindicated about that. But my ex? Months go by where I don't even think about her, and, when I do, it's just "well that was a fucking mistake and a half..."

And the only excuse I can give for writing this drivel is that I've just started on a second bottle of Shiraz...

Cheers

Well then, by that measure
I can honestly say that I hate my ex. I'm told that when I speak of her at all my face takes on a rather angry cast that makes people want to back away slowly.

Mostly I hate her when I remember what she put our kids through.

Then again, two of the three prefer to live at my house, and the third would probably move as well if I had another room...

This will teach me to read the whole post properly,
At forst I thought Maggie had done something incredibly evil to your kids.............

Please rest assured (or pissed) that everyone who ever met your ex hated disliked her intensely.

Me and the Mrs often wondered why you married a drag act.

Thank goodness for the wee-aussie-greek
