Just yesterday, a single mom and good friend of mine called to tell me she spoke with someone I referred to her. She said, “I could not believe that this guy I had just met was telling me what a b**ch his ex was”… Fortunately, this was not a matchmaking attempt this was a business referral, but it got me thinking, what are people thinking when they do that? Unless you are talking to your best friend, your therapist or your mom, keep this to yourself. No one wants to hear you bash someone you chose to be in a relationship with. Learn from the experience and move on. Moreover, if you have kids with that person, give your kids some respect and compassion because they will always be related to that person you call your “ex”.
