Should you be scared of . . .gasp Your Ex?

Developed by: Puck

Falling in love is easy. Building a working relationship is much more difficult, and unfortunately getting out of an unsuccessful relationship is not only more difficult but more common. Boyfriends/girlfriends while dating them are pleasant and enjoyable, but can easily turn into furniture-ruining, obscenity-shouting terrors once the label "Ex" is added. When the name of the game is Ex Husband/wife, the horror grows as they actually take your stuff, kids, dog, and beat a hasty retreat. But sometimes Exes go beyond that, trading destruction and insults for violence and death threats; and sometimes, I'm afraid, they follow though. But should you be afraid of your Ex? Maybe you are, whether or not you should be. To find out, I recommend you take this quiz . . . just in case . . .

Question 1: How did you break up?

	I had a friend tell him/her or some other indirect method. I didn't want to be there when it happened
	I said it to his/her face. Almost like ordering a Big-Mac.

	They broke up with me. I cried.

Question 2: What made you like them in the first place?

	Their sweet nature.
	Their tough attitude and willingness to take anyone on.
	Their looks.
	Their dark, brooding nature.

Question 3: Of the four animals listed below, which reminds you most of your ex?

	A Walrus. It looks gentle, but it can really throw it's weight around!
	A cat. It has claws and knows how to use them, but never would on me.
	A squirrel. Not threatening at all and runs away by instinct.

Question 8: Have you ever met your Exes Exes?
