For those of you who've gone through a break-up recently...

Do you find yourself achingly remembering your very worst romantic decisions/"the one who got away"/the stupid days of your youth/whatever? More than 10 years ago I had an affair with my professor and suddenly, since becoming abruptly and catastrophically single, I can't stop thinking about him. I know it's messed up and our relationship was a terrible imbalance of power and it probably stunted my emotional growth and blah blah blah blah. I just miss the cute little me from the past who suffered from drooling, half-insane sexual obsession with a glamorous and brilliant Frenchman, rather than the sad fatassed* 30-something weeping into her kombucha because her boring boyfriend got bored with her.

*Positively no offense to fat asses. I've just internalized a lot of sexist messaging so I feel self-conscious about my own fat ass. Everyone else's fat ass is an absolute star.

I think we have all regreted a relationship that didn't work out but unhealthy relationships are far worse than regrets. Hey, at least you HAVE an ass!! My ex use to tease me because I have no ass! LOL There's nothing wrong with reminiscing about the past or relieving memoreis as long as we don't live there.

Thanks for your comment Of course I know that if I'd had a real relationship with this French guy it would have been a complete disaster. But that's my rational self talking and sometimes my rational self is waaaaay too easy to ignore.

Your ex is a jerk XD I mean maybe not, but seriously, partners need to learn to shut up about their girlfriends' bodies. My ex from long ago made fun of my ass before I even HAD a fat ass, and when I'd yell at him for it, he'd say, "I'm just teasing. You're not even fat!" And now that I've gained weight his comments come back to haunt me. What an idiot.
