I think it's totally appropriate for someone to MENTION their ex. What I didn't like was
Quote:
described his ex as being equally "cold and callous".
One thing I always admired about my late H was that he never trashed his ex. Every grown up knows it takes two to break up a marriage. I don't like the idea of one person seeming to attribute the lack of compatibility to the other person's faults.
Note that I'm saying more than I don't like it when one person makes it the other person's fault (singular), but I'm saying I don't like it when one person seems to attribute the breakup to the other person's faultS (character flaws).
