3. Nope. Hate is too destructive...
even the ex who screwed my rommmate and got pregnant and married him after 2 years with me.

Wish them only the best.

Karma is a bitch, and it's not my business.

16. It took me 47 years to hate
Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 08:40 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
I had always worked out things in family and relationships through love, biting my tongue and coming back later when cooler heads could prevail. It's taken $2000 dollars worth of therapy to begin to experience out that hatred and stop letting it kill me.

They revealed they were never relationships in the first place.

One cannot hate something that is not a reality.

13. Yes...
With a small, white hot ball of hate locked deep in the recesses of my soul.

If I ever come across her and she happens to be on fire, I wouldn't piss on her to put it out.

Other than that, I'm good...

15. I tried to hate one of my ex-GFs.
Then I realized that she was too pretty to hate. It occurred to me that it was probably my own failings that I really hated because cute people are higher than me on the cosmic food chain.

17. Nope - they were all wonderful, and I'd still go with any one of them
and give it another shot (though the caveat being that none of the relationships were "the one", and chances are they still wouldn't be... but still, one wonders... they were all amazing wonderful incredible women; and, in fact, so far as I know, they all still are).

18. I still don't remember much about them, but I think they were all nice
people.

We just didn't see eye to eye at some point. Like Dave Mason said a brazillion years ago, "There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's only you and me and we just disagree."

19. I have one I probably should
after the infidelity and all the evil shit he did to me I shoudl hate his guts, but really I pity him. He's miserable and sad and I can't waste the energy to think of him with the contempt he deserves, when I bother to think of him at all.

21. Oh, yeah.
There's just one... a duplicitous, treacherous, two-timing, bottom-dwelling lump of pond scum. Sometimes I check the obits to see if he's dead yet. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

23. No. Not even my ex-wife who was emotionally abusive
Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 09:09 PM by no name no slogan
I pity her more than anything.

ON EDIT:

To hate somebody, you still have to have some sort of feeling for her/him. IOW, that person still has control over you.

Indifference is a much worse thing to have for a person, IMHO.

25. Yes, but I comfortable with it
In general, I'm very comfortable with the concept of hate. I don't thinks it's destructive or too harsh. Sometimes I hate people. Sometimes people hate me. You'll have that.

I have an ex-boyfriend who was quite abusive. I hate him. I wouldn't waste any energy acting on the hate, but don't want him to have a happy life.

26. Well...
I knew this one girl who, after a couple months of dating her, started to want to hang out with her ex-boyfriend a lot.

I brought it up in conversation once, as delicately as I could, and her response was something like "For God's sake, I'm not going to run off with him!" - WAAAAY too defensive.

So I wasn't surprised when she did. In retaliation, I made sure all the people we knew found out that she secretly despised all of them. And I called her a bitch. So she wasn't too popular after that.

Hate? No, that would consume me. If something bad happens to her, I won't cry over it. But I have other things I'd rather do than hate someone.

I do like thinking about the failings of some of these girls I dated, so I know never to be around someone like that ever again.
