My Ex Husbad

In the poem My Ex Husband written by Gabriel Spera, tells a story about a women who describes the relationship with her ex husband. Throughout the poem, you get a sense that the divorce that she went through was not an easy one for her. She tells you all the negative things that her used to be husband has done, such as " how slobbishly he carried on affairs.".But what doesn't make sense is when she starts saying all the nice things about him, it seems as though it is a love and hate kind of paradox. She explains how it " always made [her] limbs go woozy when he kissed [her], and that he seemed " like any woman's perfect catch". As a reader, you start to feel as if she is just extremely hurt by losing him. And the only thing for her to do to try to get over him is by trying to rip him apart and find all of the negative things in him. But in reality she is still head over heels in love with this guy.Thus showing the conclusion to the paradox of a love and hate relationship.
