ok I've had a think and now I've got a real question:

you know your ex, the one who have the house with? I've seen pictures, and you've put his wax in my hair and I might even have met him although it's in my mind as a drunked haze so I might have been imagining stuff....

anyway, in all that, there never has seemed to be anything about him which is worthy of mertit or or even mention, where as you (obviously) are really quite ace and have since proven you can do *SO* much better

so did he have some redeaming feature you've never told us about, or had he become less good over time, or is there another reason?
