There was a time when dating was fun and exciting. Unfortunately, things have changed. Many singles think of dating as, a painful process that they have to go through, in order to find that special someone. A big mistake that the majority might make, is talking excessively about their ex. Logically, they know that this is not a good idea. However, once on a date, they seem to get possessed (perhaps by anxiety) and forget all about their promise of “I shall not talk too much about my ex…..!!!”
I hope the following story about Mulla and his wife makes this valuable lesson a memorable one.
Four In a Bed: After his wife died, Mulla married a widow. Mulla constantly talked about his former wife and the woman constantly talked about her dead husband. One night, lying in bed, they began to talk about their former spouses again, when suddenly Mulla shoved his wife off the bed. The woman got very upset and asked Mulla why he had pushed her off the bed. Mulla said “Believe me it was not my fault. With my former wife and your deceased husband, there are four of us in the bed, and there is only enough room for two.” From Classic Tales of Mulla Nasrerddin.
If you need to talk about your ex, be BRIEF, FACTUAL and OBJECTIVE. Good luck.
