Other than Trickers

…who knows exactly where she'd be (because she's there now!) where do you think you'd be, and what would your life be like, if you'd married your first 'serious' partner?

    Exactly the same ?

    (Am in Trickers' boat! A colleague nearly fell over today when I told her I couldn't stalk any exes on Facebook because I don't have any!)

    Good question (although it's very hard to imagine the answer).

    He was a vain, arrogant, rough piece of trade. Very macho, very domineering. I saw him a couple of years back, after 15 years. He's still the same, I am very different.

    I'd be a bleached-blonde, designer label-wearing, kept woman.

    I would be miserable.

    I would be wondering what I was doing with a complete child.

    I think my life would be boring.

    I would feel the way i felt for the whole last year of our 3 year relationship!!

    Of course, Saisi, I forgot about you too!

    The rest of you make for miserable reading ? Suspect I'd be in the same boat, mind. I'd be living near where I grew up, probably socialising with all of the other people I went to school with and would have a few kids by now, all of whom would be attending the same school I went to. I'd probably have a Next catalogue addiction and think a night out down at the Dock Club was where it's at.

    I'd own more tracksuits but do less exercise than now.

    I'd still be living in South Tyneside for sure.

    I'd have been married years ago.

    I doubt I'd be massively unhappy but I know I'd be wondering constantly if there was more out there for me.

    I'd be in much less debt but I'd be bored.

    I would be living much closer to my home town probably, I believe he now lives in the next town to it. I don't think I'd be miserable, he was a lovely guy but our relationship as a couple fell apart when he went away to uni. We were really good friends for a while when he came back, and to be honest I do miss him sometimes (as a friend - I think we were better as friends than as a couple anyway)

    If I was still with my ex, I would probably be living much further North, no relationship with any of my family or friends, no self esteem or opinions of my own and skint.

    All in all, pretty damn miserable (which is why I left!!)

    Oh God, I really don't know.

    I would be in an asylum I think, he used to drive me mad!

    We would be sex-less, love-less, emotion-less and just two people living in the same house. We'd also be skint because he'd be spending all his money on drugs or football tickets or alcohol, and I'd be cleaning the house* all the fcuking time because he never did a THING!

    *Actually, not house. It would be a flat, which we would rent, because he couldn't save any money to buy somewhere, even though he earnt double what I did.

    I would be unmarried and travelling round europe in a minging campervan not knowing where my next meal was coming from and probably shouting at him for being too stoned to drive!!!! ?

    Or in prison for murder (most likely!)

    Oh, and he'd probably be spending more time with my sister than he did with me, because I'm sure he actually loved her, haha.

    I would be married to a plumber with no work who's family are filthy stinking rich but wont help him, still moving in the same group of idiots from school and thinking a night at the tower club would be brilliant. Not to mention living in a flat above a greasy spoon.

    Snap! I probably would also still be a lot skinnier than I am now due to him telling me he'd dump me if I got fatter; so may be in hospital with eating disorder-related problems

    I'd be divorced! This would be due to having found him in our bed with another woman most probably.

    In with Trickers and co, he was my first and serious boyfriend. We got together at 18 Smiley smile

    I only had one boyfriend before him and we were only together for three months. We were best friends and mistakenly thought we would be good together. If i had stayed with him we would just be finishing Uni, in loads of debt and probably hating each other!! Funnily enough we're good friends again and he's actually good friends with my H too, we have a night out planned with him and his best friend as they couldnt come to the wedding.

    I would be in a mental asyulum for sure, ex was extremely paranoid and it drove me insane hence the split, strangely enough I think I was destined to move to the Midlands, as I've heard through the grapevine that he moved to Coventry about 2 years after we split.... weird!

    I'd still be living in the Isle of Man, with kids, no social life, but probably in a much more stable financial position.

    I don't think my life as a whole would be drastically different. I would be no way near as happy, content or in love as I am now though.

    Mmmm depends what you class as serious... lots of 'boyfriends' over the years, one sticks out as being a lying cheating twurp, one with a serious drink problem, one who is now in a very well high paid professional job travelling the world (damn) .... and then another where I would be living in a dump. My H was an ex, and I was gutted at the time that I lost him, good job I wangled him back and picked the best one ? far to much fluff for me ?

    I would probably still be in my hometown (or very close) as I know that's where he still lives. He hangs round with the same people from school who are all married with babies and have been for some time. If we were still together I would have resented him for preventing me from moving to London to get on with my dream job. But that's why we're not together I guess, I would never have been content with him in the long term. He was a really nice guy, just lacking in 'get-up-and-go.'

    I'd be living the BDSM dream. Christian Grey has got nothing on my ex. ?

    I wouldn't have kids, we'd be living miles away from our families, as he went off to do his PhD up north. I'd be skinnier than i am now, thanks to all the sexercise, and his obsession with healthy eating.

    Honestly no idea where I'd be - my only serious ex left Cambridge and went to Edinburgh for a PhD, but I think he'd have stayed in Cambridge if we hadn't split up, so I'd have stayed in Cambridge/East Anglia to work rather than coming to London. We'd have less income than I do now, but probably wouldn't feel much poorer as a)not living in London and b)he had much less expensive tastes than OH!

    I don't think I'd have been seriously unhappy, just always wondering "is this it?"

    I'd be in a mental hospital/dead/in jail for murder if I'd stuck with the guy I dated with I was 16. He was bad news.

    If I'd stuck with the guy after that I'd probably be bored out my head while he saved up to go to wrestlemania every year. Nice guy but not for me.

    Divorced for sure. Possibly with a child. My Mum agrees this would have happened!
