As you may know I've a tendency to ask awkward/silly questions, particularly in any way related to marriage, or relationships, and the aftermath when things maybe didn't work out as planned, (assuming there was much planning in the first place! 
).
Often enough it does cross your mind doesn't it, what you may be looking for in a partner/wife/husband, (assuming you're not happily tied up), so what if anything did we see in our exes, be they girlfriends/boyfriends only, former wives/husbands/partners and they in us, (assuming we've got much of a clue, and I must admit I'm struggling a bit there so far as my ex-wife goes !).
What did I see in her is easier, she was a very competent/confident/able/clever person, (this made up for my lack of all four attributes you might say!).
She wanted children as I did, so there is/was an element of compatibility there, (I've known many enough "say" at least, they didn't want any children, some completely honestly and stuck to it even though they'd married someone who did, and you'd think almost inevitably leading to trouble later on).
What else to say about my ex., or any others I've felt seriously enough to consider marrying or living together, well so far as my ex goes I'd say she/they gave me confidence to start with at least, and motivated me, (all sounds rather sad when you think how little it all came to mean, though in my humble opinion not to be regretted over all, though she condemned it as simply a "mistake" during divorce proceedings etc., ........., so no love ever there being the inference, on her part at least).
