It seems to me that a lot of things that we allow to personally offend us in a relationship, tend to be things that are just age-specific, gender-specific annoying crap common to all the opposite sex. We look at these behaviors as if they relate to our specific situation. When maybe they don't.
For example, I think guys look around and think, "Hey, she doesn't do stuff like my ex'. Until they marry her and find out that under similar circumstances, she's the same or even worse.
This goes the same for women's complaints about men they have left behind.
So, I'm just really curious what the similarities would be here.
What was your Ex's biggest complaint about you (if you dare).

Hi Want...  Although my marriage ended in 1985 due to his alcoholic addiction. The abuse was too much on me and needed to divorce him. His complaint about me mostly I was not always ready available for the punches. I gave the marriage my all in helping him to raise his 3 daughters and my 2. But when I ended up in the hospital, I had to get out before he killed me.

well when he got remarried 6 yrs ago. One mother's day the kids and I were going to get her a present. I asked him what perfume, lotions, bath oils,etc she liked. He said she wasn't high maintenance so she did not use that stuff. He then told me his biggest complaint about me was that I spent too much money on "girlie" things like getting my hair and nails done, perfume, lotions, etc. I thought if that is the worst thing that my ex can say about me then I have done pretty well to maintain a good relationship with him

My wife accused me of screwing around but only after I left. To be fair I did end up with a live in girlfriend inside of a week so she assumed that it was an ongoing thing.
Yikes talk about rebound.

 Angel, I for one, and I'm sure everyone here is thankful you did get out alive and are here with us today.
I am so sorry you were a victim of such abuse.......you are one of the lucky ones........so many women are trapped and don't get out at all. People judge them and think it's so easy for them to leave. 
Anyway, my x-husband never had any complaints about me 
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to get my rosary, then get on my knees and start begging for forgiveness for that one

Ah thanks 'waiting'...Yes, I was very lucky. Although I was trapped for 5 years and it was a devistating escape for me with my 2 daughters. I had to hide from him for 3 weeks until the restraint order went through and the legal part of him to be out of the house so we could go back. But it was a living nightmare until the divorce was over. I have disabilities from him that I have to live with. Nothing noticable to others though. What made it harder was I didn't have any relatives to help me. So I turned to the church for strength and guidance.

That's not a fancy way of saying you need an enema is it?

AHA! This is so true! And hence my motto:
"You never really know someone until you live with them"

So how did *that* relationship turn out Spongebob? Did you feel like you rushed into it afterwards or did it go well for you?

That I work in theater. It's not uncommon for me to work 3 weeks of 80 - 90 hour each. {e4}
All I wanted to do was sleep in my own bed, and she never really understood that.

Ive noticed that a lot of ex wives change thier names to that. I suppose there are a few common ex husband names. My last name became "hole".

Angel,
I think you're right. I'm still trying to figure out what Spongecakes first name was.

Bob,
with a name like that - you might be a big hit if you ever find yourself in PRISON!
i'm not sure about the enema thing, it's something that both me personally and i'm sure everyone else on the forums would rather not think about...
