Moved to Austin but couldnt stand the population. Bought a house in a small red town 20 miles from Austin and my quality of life has gone up considerably. That said I don't need to commute to the city for work and if I did it would change how much I enjoyed my living situation.
I enjoy catching up from time to time. When the people you both have become are wildly lopsided in your favor I imagine it's better on the ego. I have always enjoyed fucking an ex years down the line with no commitment or new investment.
