LIFE with my ex was crazy but exciting.
I’m tempted to track him down now I’ve got bored with normal guys.
I’m told he’s living in London somewhere – running a business and making a fortune.
All of my friends are begging me to leave it. They like to remind me that he was unpredictable and selfish. They urge me to remember all the times he took me for granted and let me down.
But at least he made me feel alive. When we were on form, there was no-one to touch us.
Wild
We lived life in the fast lane and had fun. We drank too much, we partied too hard and we lurched from one situation to the next.
One time we left a party at 6am and, on a whim, he hailed a cab to St Pancras. He bought train tickets to Paris where we spent wild days with friends of his in a sort of commune.
His friends believed in free love and we had several lovers each as well as a mad time at an orgy.
Things turned a bit sour when my guy simply disappeared with my train ticket home. I was forced to pay again and later discovered he was in the south of France with a rich old movie star.
I didn’t see him again for weeks and when he finally rocked up he acted like nothing had happened. Naturally, the make-up sex was off the scale and I forgave him, yet again.
Our final split was actually a mistake. I was due to meet him in a bar and got seriously held up at work. He assumed I’d blown him out and hooked up with an old flame instead. I tried calling him, but his phone had been stolen.
Hours later my nan had a heart attack and I rushed over to Ireland to nurse her.
By the time I got back, my man had moved out and his friends couldn’t tell me where to. We didn’t even get to say goodbye.
Every guy I’ve been with since then has been so dull. Dare I turn detective and hunt him down? JANE SAYS: Stop looking back through rose-tinted glasses. Your ex-partner was undoubtedly a maverick, but he let you down time after time.
From abandoning you in France to going off with someone else when you were late for a date, he wasn’t in the least bit concerned or dependable.
You and he fizzled out when you were forced to care for a sick relative – and he didn’t even care for you enough to leave a forwarding address. Charming.
Now he’s in a new place with a new venture and I think you have to accept that you and he are done. This is the 21st Century; the age of communication. If you meant anything to him, then he would have already come back to you by now.
The chances are you wouldn’t even know or recognise the person he’s become. And I doubt if you and he still have anything in common.
Who knows – heaven forbid – he might actually have grown up!
You complain that all the guys you meet nowadays are boring, but do you honestly give them a chance to shine?
Especially if you are always looking back over your shoulder.
