what is it about our love's past loves (or flings, one-night stands, what have you) that is so grossly compelling?beanorama very accurately described the feeling you get when you realize your significant other had a past, and that past is full of wo-men. "you get excited, nervous and a stomach ache all at the same time." it's akin to a car crash - you do not want to look (how morbid!) but you must satisfy your curiosity.
of course it is silly - everyone above the age of 12 has had a crush and the older we get the more exes we collect. it's not rare to be confronted with "the ex," either in person or through pictures or stories, so why is it so yucky?
i got to thinking about this very subject this morning and of course my mind eventually came around to a SATC episode.
remember when carrie keeps running into big's new woman, natasha, and she is humiliated and wants to look good to impress the tall, skinny and beautiful new mrs. big?
thinking back on this situation i see that carrie is crazy - no matter that natasha is gorgeous and has the guy. she has to co-exist with a woman her husband not only once loved, but that detailed all the intricacies of their relationship in print! talk about a stomach ache.

Both Unusual and Beanorama have been privy to these conversations between me and my significant other. They usually end up with him calling me a h0 and me saying to him about his alleged conquests, "You wish."
yea, but then carrie did it with big and then she made natasha break a tooth.
you wish.
ha!
gets me everytime. everytime.
