Interesting. I've felt that way myself at times. I learned long ago to just keep my mouth shut about past stuff. Sometimes that's impossible since I've been married before and since he's the kid's dad he's bound to be seen at some point. The funny thing is that I look at him now and can't even imagine ever being with him before myself. So, I'm sure other people would think the same...in fact they've told me that LOL. But then even people who knew us when we were together have said that now too.
I've seen women that men I date have been with and had the "come on if you are into her there's no way you can be into me" whether that's cause I thought she was better or worse than me, maybe hotter bod, better face, smarter, more successful, on and on....or less. I just try to remember my own dating past and that I went through times of figuring things out and being interested in different things at different times. Stands to reason that others have as well. Actually, it took me until this point in life to end up with a man who fits my ideal in every way....many of the ideals I had given up along the way.
My daughter said something about my son's gf not being very pretty the other day. She was surprised he was so into this chick. I know from what he told me he's finds her really attractive physically as well as in other ways. She doesn't at all fit what he's been with before. His last gf was very typical blonde beauty - the type many go for. She wasn't his typical type as he used to always go for very bright, exotic beauties. The new one isn't a show stopper type. She's more down to earth and he says it's more about who and how she is and that she's very grounded and has some of my qualities. My daughter recently became engaged to the guy she's been going with for a couple of years. He is different then the ones before him.
