Hallelujah (jeff buckley version) can't listen to cos the particular ex used to sing it to me. Awesome song but well just can't listen to it.
Another one is a dance song, slam by pendulum.

Harsh dude, two awesome songs you can no longer enjoy.

Eh, what reminds me of ex's? New York, pasta carbonara, teeth marks.

No one can take my songs though. :pac:

Gonna take clare bear's advice and listen to them nonstop so I become desensitized to them... however I'm afraid it may ruin the awesomeness of the song altogether

Sorry to get off the topic but this caught my attention
Didn't think a breakup was a competition!
How exactly do you go about "scoring a breakup" not to mind "winning" one?

Hmm, yeah it would have to be music, some songs are just so sad, so try not to listen to them anymore. And a place we were on holidays, I went back this year with family and it was a bit sad too.

The first one is a photographer, so anytime I pick up my camera I'm reminded of him.

The second one is an artist, so anytime I draw I'm reminded of him!

The smell of the aftershave he used to wear - don't even know what it was called but anytime I smell it I think of him.

It's places for me. Cities we went to together but mainly restaurants that we ate at together. I made a point of going there with my current bf when we started going out to banish the memories and make new ones. The funny thing is that now when he pops in to my head (it's always at random times that I can't explain) I feel nothing, except feeling a little bit sorry for him (I really really won the break-up!). Time really does heal everything, even if at the time you don't.

I know what you mean, i feel sorry for my ex when i think about him which isnt often but i definately won that break up

Mostly places, restaurants and stuff

Far too much stuff reminds me of my ex

Perfume, music etc

I can no longer watch High Fidelity, one of my favourite movies. Until recently I couldn't watch Scrubs cos I seem to associate her with it and a lot of the situations in it

It is unfair that someone who is no longer in my life should have such a hold on me

I am a sad broken man

Rec, it sounds like the hold she has is weakening if you can watch scrubs now.

togster

Places, things and a certain sexual position.:o

It is weakening but not enough or fast enough for my liking

Anyway one day I will function again and this sort of musing is more suited to PI

Perfume... she wore the v strong smelling Jean Paul Gaultier just after it came out u know the bottle that is shaped like a woman's body.

Bitch.

The song "She Hates Me" (puddle of mud) An ex used sing it at me. I always think of that when i hear it. Makes me laugh.

Reminded of another one today, shampoo this one girl washed her hair with.
Was so strong even after she washed it out.
One night I could get the smell in a club, turned around and boom there she was.

Ex 1 - Lacoste Silver, the Galway Races, almost all of my friends (since they are all his friends too).

Ex 2 - paella (is that spelt right?), hookah pipes, Bryant Park, Ground Zero, madras, the phrase "I know right?"!!

But in a fond way, all of it, thank god.

Cathmandooo

Lots but all fondly

songs, phrases, almond icing, a table he made for me, my/our college, places we went to, bus eireann buses. I'm sure there's more, most just bring a smile to my face.

Ex 1 - nothing

Ex 2 - anything cheap and tacky

Might not work for you Wilburt but definitely did for me....the first few times sucks and you might feel like crying like a baby but keep doing it, you do eventually become desensitized to them....didn't ruin my favourite songs for me, they were already ruined and I made sure I got them back and loved them for what they were again, great songs.

Hope I don't make it worse now for you

His cologne. Joop or something.... adored the stuff when we were going out.
Someone was wearing it in the pub the other night, I pointed out to someone else that this guy seemed to have bathed in the stuff and they couldnt even smell it.

It honestly made me want to vomit. Bleugh.

You won that break up? Jesus. If you're thinking of it in those terms, i really dont think you did.

Ex1 - nothing, it was so long ago tbh.

Ex2 - Alcopops, and the word Rohypnol. Seriously, this psycho accused me of spiking her drink after we had a one nighter a while after we broke up. Silly cow.

Ex3 - A certain perfume.
