I'm right there with you, brother: I don't miss the emotional abuse and fighting with the ex in the slightest. When it comes to her, I'm missing the frequent sex and relating to someone familiar and intimately. And when I am tempted by the crazy woman at work, it's because I know the sex would be fun and easily obtained.
What prevents me from acting on these impulses or feelings is the knowledge of how destructive the ex was, and how destructive the coworker would be. Fortunately, neither is giving me a raging hard-on, so it's not as difficult to resist in my case.
