I have em, you have em, we all have em, the dreaded story about your Ex. Every time we begin a new relationship, there is a ritual that we all do in which we exchange stories about our past relationships. I think it is done in order to predict the outcome of the possible relationship to com and how to approach the relationship. This is where the fun begins.

The funny thing about the ex story is that you can plan to approach the relationship by avoiding the mistakes that the previous person made or reinforce the positives. If her Ex use to beat her ass on the daily basis you might want to avoid that, or if her Ex smoked crack for kicks, you might want to avoid that too. To reinforce the positive don't do exactly what the previous person did, you want to do what they did and add a little to it. If they did 'x' you want to do 'x+y' For example, if she use to give him head each time they had sex, you might want to give him head every day, just because. (he would love you)

Your probably wondering how much you should reveal when you tell your "Ex Story" since the other person might use it for their advantage. It really doesn't matter how much you say because they could use what ever you you tell them for their advantage, it all really depends on how comfortable you are with the person and what happened in the past. What ever you say just don't change your story... cause then it would sound like a lie.

The "Ex Story" is usually one of the first conversations you have with a new person. You could use it for your advantage and to plan out the course of action for your new relationship.
