when your ex is the number 2 pick

[Ino]

1. Seriously? That happened to you??

I would not be surprised if it happened to me, come to think of it. I only pick a-holes, and strangely enough, they are always just like my mother. Yes, I marry/date men who turn out to be just like my mother.

If I would EVER date again (not likely), my first question at dinner would be, "So.... what's YOUR problem?" Cuz I just know, by the fact that I'm interested, that they have a problem I've glommed on to. Control freak, major manipulator, guilt-tripper, self-esteem destroyer...

I don't know how I manage to do that, though I have figured out why.

(Wondering if you were your ex's #2 pick as well.)
