The Ex-Factor

Few things in life are more annoying than the "Ex-factor". If someone is not over their ex, no matter how hot, sexy, intelligent and sweet you are, it won't matter, because they are not in a position to appreciate it at the moment. They are living in the past. You are competing with someone they have a history with, who knows them a lot better than you do and who they share a lot of good memories with.
How do you know if someone isn't over their ex? Two clues are if they're always mentioning the other person, when there is clearly no reason for it or if they refuse to discuss the ex. So what can you do? Practice what I call the:"Lose'em to keep "em"move. Sit your sweetie down and say: I like you and enjoy being with you, but it doesn't seem as if you're over your ex. Tha''s not fair to either one of us and I can't continue to see you under these circumstances. I think you need to go and do whatever you need to, in order to figure out what you want. This will probably surprise them and they may even deny still being into the ex, but don't fall for it. No matter how much they beg and plead, stand by your statement. If they ask whether you are going to be dating others, let them know it's a possibility.

Don't worry that if they get back with their ex it will be over forever with you. The ex is an ex for a reason, something obviously wasn't working. More often than not, if they do get back together, eventually they'll fall into the same patterns, and before you know it, they'll start having problems again.

The Type:

The ex: An ex can often be a significant factor in your relation with the person and all too often the effect of an ex can be rather negative...

The Stalker Ex: When ur out on date, the ex's spy or the ex them self is everyway! arghhhh...

"The Friendly Ex": The Ex call call/email occasionally or even still do things together as friends. or the worse case is when ur partner Ex want to be friend with u. Pls Never trust when the ex is just being nice...

Cheers...MOVE ON MARS!
