      If the ex somehow comes up in conversation, just say “we just weren’t compatible and broke things off amicably, and are both better people now” and leave it at that

      I made this mistake (had a relationship for 8 years that started when I was 16) at the time, so I had zero dating experience. The girl I had a date with thought: “ok, then this’ll just be a one night stand, he’s not bad looking.”

      More than 6 years later we’re married with a daughter, dog and cat.
